Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25/09/2026

The Pitlochry List (“we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data, in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who We Are

The Pitlochry List is a directory website for local traders and services, family activities, and adult classes and groups in Pitlochry and the surrounding Highland Perthshire area.

Data Controller contact: hello@pitlochrylist.co.uk

2. What Personal Data We Collect

We may collect the following types of personal data:

From listing submitters: name, business/organisation name, email address, phone number, address/location, and any other details you choose to include in a listing
From website visitors: limited technical data collected automatically as part of the Site functioning (see Section 6)
From general enquiries: name and email address, if you contact us directly via our contact form

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Listings relating to children’s or family activities are submitted by adult organisers, not by children themselves.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use personal data to:

Display and manage listings on the Site
Respond to enquiries, claims, or support requests
Process payments for paid listing packages, where applicable
Improve and maintain the Site
Send you communications directly related to your listing (e.g. approval status), where applicable

We do not use your data for marketing purposes unless you have separately opted in to receive updates from us.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following legal bases:

Consent — where you voluntarily submit a listing or contact us
Legitimate interests — to operate, maintain, and improve the Site
Contract — where processing is necessary to provide a paid listing package you have purchased

5. Sharing Your Data

Listing information you submit (business name, contact details, description, etc.) is publicly visible on the Site by design, since the purpose of a directory listing is to be found by visitors.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with third-party service providers who help us run the Site, including:

Our web hosting provider (Hostinger)
Payment processing, for paid listing packages (via WooCommerce)

These providers only process data as necessary to provide their service to us.

6. Cookies

This Site uses cookies that are strictly necessary for its operation — for example, to remember items during checkout for paid listing packages (via WooCommerce), to serve cached pages correctly (via LiteSpeed Cache), and to support our contact form (via Contact Form 7). These cookies do not require your consent under UK law, as they are essential to the Site functioning.

We do not currently use analytics, marketing, or tracking cookies. If this changes in future — for example, if we begin using email marketing tools — we will update this policy and request your consent where required by law.

7. Payments

If you purchase a paid listing package, payment is processed securely through our payment provider via WooCommerce. We do not store your full card details on our servers.

8. Data Retention

We retain listing data for as long as the listing remains active, or until you request its removal. General enquiry data is retained only as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry.

9. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate data
Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
Object to or restrict certain processing
Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@pitlochrylist.co.uk. We will respond within one month, as required by law.

10. Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
