What data we collect
- Email address (required for receipt and Telegram invite delivery).
- Name, if voluntarily provided at checkout.
- Stripe transaction ID and payment metadata (amount, currency, timestamp). We do not store or have access to your full card number. Stripe processes that directly.
Why we collect it (lawful basis)
- Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b) UK GDPR): granting paid Telegram channel access and issuing receipts.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): retaining transaction records for HMRC.
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)): occasional service-related updates (e.g. channel migration, end-of-tournament notice). No marketing without explicit opt-in.
Retention
Transaction records (including the associated email and Stripe ID) are retained for 6 years from the end of the relevant tax year, as required by HMRC for VAT and corporation tax purposes. Telegram channel membership data is deleted within 30 days of the channel closing.
Third parties (data processors)
- Stripe: processes your payment. Stripe is its own data controller for payment data. See stripe.com/privacy.
- Telegram: hosts the paid channel. Telegram has its own privacy policy: telegram.org/privacy. We share your Telegram username with Telegram (obviously) but no other purchase data.
- Google: provides Google Analytics, only if you accept analytics cookies. See Cookies and analytics below.
- No other third-party processors. No tracking pixels and no advertising cookies on this site.
Cookies and analytics
We use Google Analytics to see which pages people read, so we can improve them. It only runs if you click Accept on the cookie banner. If you click No thanks, or ignore the banner, nothing is loaded from Google and no analytics cookies are set.
- Lawful basis: your consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)).
- What's collected: the pages you view, how long you stay, how you arrived, your device and browser type, and your approximate location (country and city), worked out from your IP address. Google Analytics doesn't store IP addresses.
- Cookies:
_ga and _ga_TFR9FWYZGK, which last up to 2 years from your last visit.
- Who receives it: Google, which provides Google Analytics and may process the data in the United States. See policies.google.com/privacy.
- How long it's kept: event-level data for up to 14 months. Aggregated reports that don't identify you may be kept longer.
- Changing your mind: use the Cookie settings link at the bottom of any page. Withdrawing your consent stops the tracking and deletes the analytics cookies from your browser.
We remember your choice in your browser so we don't ask on every page. That's strictly necessary for the banner to work and isn't used for anything else.
Your rights under UK GDPR
- Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification: request correction of inaccurate data.
- Erasure: request deletion, subject to the HMRC 6-year retention obligation above.
- Portability: request your data in a machine-readable format.
- Restriction / objection: restrict or object to processing in certain circumstances.
