Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21st May 2025

 

Welcome to GR8R Manchester (“we”, “our”, or “us”). We care about your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal data we may collect through our website www.GR8RMCR.co.uk. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

 

 

1. Who We Are

 

We’re GR8R Manchester — a platform that shares the best of Greater Manchester, from hidden gems and top 10 lists to news and reviews.

 

If you have any questions about this policy or your personal data, contact us at: gr8r.mcr@gmail.com

 

 

2. What Data We Collect

 

We may collect personal data in the following ways:

 

When you sign up through our website:

 

  • Name

  • Email address

 

This data is collected via secure Wix forms and is only used for purposes you’ve agreed to — like subscribing to updates or accessing member-only content.

 

Automatically, when you visit our site:

 

  • IP address

  • Device and browser type

  • Pages visited and general usage data

  • Cookies and tracking technologies (explained below)

 

We do not collect sensitive data (e.g. financial, medical, or political information), nor do we knowingly collect data from children under 13.

 

 

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

 

Our site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve site performance and understand how visitors use the site.

 

We use:

 

  • Essential cookies (for things like logging in or navigation)

  • Analytics cookies (to monitor performance and usage)

  • Marketing cookies (from services like Google Ads)

 

When you first visit our site, a cookie banner will ask for your consent. You can accept, reject, or manage cookie settings at any time.

 

You can also change cookie preferences in your browser settings.

 

 

4. Advertising and Google Services

 

We may use Google services such as:

 

  • Google AdSense (to show relevant ads)

  • Google Analytics (to track site usage)

 

These services may collect data via cookies or similar technologies to display personalised ads based on your browsing behaviour. This data may be shared with Google and used across the web.

Manage your Google ad preferences:

5. Embedded Content from Other Sites

 

Some of our pages include embedded content — for example, TikTok videos. These embeds behave as if you’ve visited the original site, and may collect data, use cookies, or track your activity — especially if you’re logged into those services.

 

We don’t control how other platforms use your data. Check their privacy policies for more info.

 

 

6. Analytics

 

We use built-in Wix Analytics, and may use Google Analytics, to collect anonymised data about how people interact with the site. This helps us understand things like:

 

  • What pages are most popular

  • How people navigate the site

  • What kind of devices or browsers are used

 

We only use this data to improve site performance and content.

 

 

7. Who We Share Data With

 

We don’t sell or share your personal data for marketing.

 

However, technical data may be processed by trusted providers, including:

 

  • Wix (our hosting and analytics provider)

  • Google (ads and analytics)

  • TikTok (for embedded video content)

 

These companies are responsible for processing data in line with their own privacy policies and GDPR compliance standards.

 

 

8. International Data Transfers

 

Because our website is hosted on Wix, which uses servers in various locations worldwide, some data may be transferred outside the UK or EEA.

 

Wix uses safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure your data remains protected.

 

 

9. Your Rights Under GDPR

 

You have the right to:

 

  • Access any personal data we hold

  • Request correction or deletion

  • Withdraw consent at any time

  • Object to or restrict how your data is used

  • File a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)

 

To exercise these rights, email us at gr8r.mcr@gmail.com

 

 

10. Data Security

 

We rely on Wix.com to store and protect data. Wix uses encryption, secure servers, and industry-standard tools to help keep your information safe.

 

We never knowingly share or store passwords or sensitive data outside of Wix’s secure platform.

 

 

11. Changes to This Policy

 

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. If anything major changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top.

 

We recommend checking this page now and then to stay informed.
