Who we are
Bexley Bin Day is an independent, free service run by Matt Jonson (the "data controller"). It is not run by or connected to the London Borough of Bexley. Contact: shub.lon.1980@gmail.com.
What we collect and why
| Data | Why | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address | To send your confirmation email and your bin reminders | Your consent (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| Your postcode | To look up your collection days from Bexley Council's public collection calendar | Your consent |
| When you signed up and confirmed, and which version of this notice you agreed to | To show that you consented | Legal obligation to demonstrate consent (Art. 6(1)(c), Art. 7(1)) |
We do not ask for your name or house number. We do not use your data for marketing, profiling or anything else, and we never sell or share it.
If you only use "Just show my bin days", we store nothing about you. The postcode is passed to Bexley Council's website to look up the dates.
How long we keep it
- If you don't click the confirmation link, your sign-up is deleted automatically after 7 days.
- Once confirmed, we keep your email and postcode until you unsubscribe. Unsubscribing deletes them immediately.
- Our hosting provider keeps short-lived technical logs (such as IP addresses) for security, which we don't use to identify anyone.
Who processes it for us
- Netlify, Inc.: hosts the website and stores subscriber records.
- Resend (Plus Five Five, Inc.): sends the emails. Open and click tracking is turned off.
Both act only on our instructions under data processing agreements. They may process data outside the UK, including in the USA. Where they do, it is protected by the UK International Data Transfer Addendum / Standard Contractual Clauses, or the UK-US Data Bridge.
Cookies and storage on your device
This site sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking. If you click "Accept" on the banner, we remember your postcode in your browser's local storage so you don't have to type it again. It stays on your device and isn't sent to us. We also store your Accept or Reject choice itself, which is strictly necessary to respect it. You can change your mind at any time using "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct or delete your data; to withdraw consent at any time; to restrict or object to processing; and to data portability.
- See or delete your data yourself: use the "Your data / unsubscribe" link in any email from us.
- Anything else: email shub.lon.1980@gmail.com. We'll reply within one month.
Withdrawing consent doesn't affect anything we did before you withdrew it. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or 0303 123 1113.
