Privacy Policy

Visiting the website

Like every website, our server receives technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type and the pages you request. Our hosting provider keeps this in server logs for a short period for security and to fix problems. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running a secure website (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)).

The fonts on this website are stored on our own server, so loading a page does not share your IP address with any font provider.

Applying for membership

When you apply through our membership form we collect your name, email address, phone number, postal address (including country), whether you are a permanent or part-year resident, the number of adults in your household, and anything else you choose to tell us.

We use this to process your application, arrange payment, keep a register of members, contact you about Association business, and let you vote at the Annual General Meeting. Legal basis: taking steps at your request to make you a member, and then administering your membership (Article 6(1)(b)). The tick box on the form confirms you have read how we will use your details.

How long: if you do not go on to become a member, we delete your application within 6 months. Member records are kept while you are a member and for 2 years after your membership ends. Financial records of payments are kept for as long as Cypriot law requires.

Contacting us

When you use our contact form we collect your name, email address, the street or area you mention, the topic and your message. We use it to reply and, where you ask us to, to raise the matter with the Community Council or other authorities. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in responding to residents (Article 6(1)(f)). How long: up to 2 years after the matter is closed.

Reporting a broken streetlight

Our streetlight form asks only for the street name and the pole number. It does not ask for your name or contact details, so we cannot reply to you about the report. We pass the street name and pole number on to the relevant authority. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in passing on faults that affect residents (Article 6(1)(f)). How long: up to 2 years.

The members area

If you are a member, the committee may create a login for you. Your account holds your name, email address and a securely stored password, together with your member number, household, the date you joined and your renewal date. We use it to let you sign in and see members-only notices, minutes and documents. Legal basis: administering your membership (Article 6(1)(b)). How long: your account is deleted within 3 months of your membership ending.

Emails from the committee

We email members about meetings, events and matters affecting the village. These are part of your membership, not marketing, and we do not use mailing-list services that track whether you open them.
