What this website counts, and your choices.

What is counted, anonymously.

Only once the privacy notice has been shown to you, and never after you have turned statistics off.

• Which pages are read

  The page, how long it stayed open (capped at an hour) and how far down it was scrolled.

• Roughly where from

  The town, region and country, worked out by our website host from the connection. The connection’s internet address is never stored by the club, and the town is kept only as a count.

• What sent the visit

  The name of the website a link was followed from, such as google.com, never the full address. Or the short tag on a link the club posted, such as insta-story.

• How people move around

  The page before this one, and the order of pages read in one browser tab, counted as a pattern shared by everyone who took that route.

• What gets used

  That a programme was downloaded, the donate button was pressed, a link to another website or a video was played, or a form was sent. Never what was typed into a form.

• The device, coarsely

  Phone, tablet or computer, from the width of the screen; the time zone the device is set to; and the hour of the day on the reader’s own clock.

• Where on a page people click

  The position of a click as a share of the page’s width and height and which part of the page it was in, including clicks on something that does nothing and quick repeated clicks. That is how the club finds a button nobody can find.

• How far down, and for how long

  How far down each page views reach, and how long each part of a page was on the screen.

• Videos and photos

  That a video was started and how far through it was watched, and that a photo was opened.

• Speed, and what breaks

  How long pages take to load, in bands, and errors on the page with every number and address taken out of the message.

• Browser and settings

  The browser, operating system, language, screen width, light or dark mode, reduced motion, whether the page opened inside an app such as Instagram, and the connection speed. Each is counted on its own and never joined to the others, so together they cannot single out a device.

• Steps towards joining or getting involved

  How many visits reach each step of joining, sponsoring, donating, contacting the club and subscribing, and which form field people stop at: the field’s name, never what was typed.

The law this works under.

• Counting visits

  UK law lets a website store or read information on your device without asking first when the only purpose is to produce statistics about how the website is used, in order to improve it. That is the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. The conditions are that you are told clearly, which this page and the notice do, and that you can object simply and for free, which the settings do. When you object, counting stops.

• Only to improve the site

  These figures are used by the club to decide what to write, what to fix and how to arrange the website. They are not shared with sponsors or anybody else for any other purpose. Figures shown to sponsors come only from visitors who say yes to that, below.

• Your town

  Working out a town from a connection briefly involves your internet address, which is personal data under the UK GDPR. Our website host does this as part of delivering the page, and the club receives only the town and a count. The club’s lawful basis is its legitimate interest in understanding, in general terms, where its supporters are, so that the website serves them well. The address itself is not stored by the club.

What needs your permission.

• Figures for sponsors

  If you say yes, your visit is also counted in the audience figures the club may show its sponsors: pages read, roughly which town, what kind of device, how you arrived and links followed. Still anonymous. The club only ever shows sponsors figures from visitors who said yes.

• Returning visits

  If you say yes, this device keeps a note of how many days you have visited and when you last did, as sa-visits, so the club can count repeat visits. Only a band such as “2 to 3 visits” is sent. Turning it off deletes the note.

• Google Analytics and the Meta pixel

  Not switched on. If the club ever adds them they stay off unless you turn them on, and the settings will say exactly what each one receives.

• Changing your mind

  Withdrawing a yes is as quick as giving it: open Privacy settings, switch it off and save. Anything that purpose kept on your device is deleted at the same moment. The club counts how many people choose each option each day, without recording who.

Choose what to allow

What this site never does.

• Nothing that identifies you

  No name, no email, no account, no internet address and no identifier of any kind is kept. Every figure is a running count for a day, so one visit cannot be picked out of it, by the club or by anybody with the database open.

• No profile of you

  Nothing follows you from one visit to the next, from one site to another, or across devices.

• No advertising

  No advertising cookies, no pixels and no selling or sharing of anything for adverts. If the club ever adds a tool like that, it stays off unless you turn it on.

• No recordings

  No recording of what you do on a page, no fingerprinting of your device, and no reading of anything you type before you send it.

What is kept on your device.

This website sets no cookies. It uses your browser’s own storage for these, and nothing else:

• Your privacy choices

  Kept in your browser as sa-privacy until you change them, so the question is not asked on every page. This records a choice you made, which the law treats as strictly necessary.

• The pages read in this tab

  Kept as sa-trail in the tab’s own storage, which the browser deletes when the tab closes. Only while anonymous statistics are on; turning them off deletes it.

• A switched-off counter

  A single yes or no, sa-bandviews-off, that stops the home page counter asking the database again once it is switched off. Only while anonymous statistics are on.

• Steps counted in this tab

  Kept as sa-funnel in the tab’s own storage, so a step towards joining or donating is counted once per visit rather than on every page. Deleted when the tab closes, or when you turn statistics off.

• Your visit count, only with your yes

  Kept as sa-visits: how many days you have visited and the last one. Only if you say yes to returning visits; turning that off deletes it.

• The control panel word

  If you type the word that opens the club’s control panel, sa-cp-word is kept in the tab’s own storage so the panel opens. It is deleted when the tab closes and does nothing else.

• Pages for offline use

  The browser keeps copies of pages you have opened so the site loads quickly and works on a poor signal. It holds nothing about you.

What you send, and what happens to it.

Unlike the counts above, a form sends the club information about you, so this is the part covered by the UK GDPR. Sue's Angels FC is responsible for it and can be reached at suesangelsfc@gmail.com.

• Enquiries and joining

  The contact and join forms send the club your name, your email, what it is about, your message and, if you give one, a phone number, with the page you sent it from. It is kept in the club’s own inbox, held by Supabase, and a short email saying an enquiry has arrived, with your email address, is sent to the club’s email account through Resend. It is used only to reply to you.

• The monthly email

  The newsletter forms send your email address and the page you signed up on. It is kept on the club’s supporter list, held by Supabase, and passed to MailerLite, which sends the newsletter. It is used only to send you the club’s newsletter.

• Why the club may use it

  For an enquiry, the club’s legitimate interest in answering a question you chose to ask it, and the tick box confirms you are happy to be contacted about it. For the newsletter, your consent, given by signing up and yours to take back at any time.

• How long it is kept

  An enquiry is deleted automatically two years after the club last heard from that email address, or sooner if you ask. A newsletter address is kept until you leave the list: use the link at the foot of any email and it is taken off MailerLite and the club’s own list automatically, or email the club and it will do the same.

• What never happens to it

  It is never sold, never passed to sponsors, never added to the newsletter unless you sign up to that, and never used for advertising.

• Videos from YouTube

  A video on a match report shows a still picture until you press play, and nothing is loaded from YouTube before then. Pressing play loads it from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced service, and YouTube, part of Google, then receives your internet address and may store information on your device under Google’s own privacy policy.

• Donations

  The donate button takes you to Stripe, which takes the payment. The club never sees your card details.

Who helps, and your rights.

• Who helps the club

  Vercel hosts the website and works out the town from the connection. Supabase holds the counts, the inbox and the supporter list. Resend sends the club a notice of each enquiry, Google hosts the club’s email account, and MailerLite sends the newsletter. Some of them process information outside the UK, and where they do it is under the safeguards UK law requires.

• How long counts are kept

  The counts are daily totals with nothing identifying in them. The club keeps them for up to three years so one season can be compared with the next, and then deletes them.

• Your rights over the counts

  You can object to the counting at any time with the settings on this page or in the footer, and your browser’s Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track setting is treated as an objection too. Because nothing is kept that links a count to you, the club cannot find, send or delete figures about you in particular, because there are none.

• Your rights over what you send

  For anything you have sent through a form you can ask the club for a copy, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or object to how it is used. Email the club and it will answer within a month.

• Questions and complaints

  Email the club at suesangelsfc@gmail.com with any question about this page. If you are unhappy with how the club handles information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
