Your data, in plain words.
Last updated 12 November 2026.
We'll name the company that holds your data here before the sign-up form goes live. Until then the form is switched off and we don't collect any email addresses through this site.
Who we are
Strides & Spires makes self-guided walking tours of Oxford. The company responsible for your data (the data controller) will be named here before sign-ups open. You can reach us at hello@stridesandspires.com.
What we keep when you sign up
- Your email address.
- Whether you want to go on walks or make them, and which page you signed up on.
- The words you agreed to ("We'll only use your email to tell you about Strides & Spires.") and when.
- When you confirmed your email, and when you unsubscribed, if you do.
- A scrambled (hashed) version of your internet address, so we can stop one machine sending hundreds of sign-ups. We can't turn it back into your address.
Why
To send you the app's download link when it's out, and occasional news about Strides & Spires, because you asked us to. You can change your mind at any time: every email has an unsubscribe link, and one click takes you off the list. We never sell your data or share it for anyone else's marketing.
Confirming your email
When you sign up we send one email asking you to confirm. If you don't confirm, we won't email you again.
Who helps us
- Cloudflare runs this website and sends our emails.
- Supabase stores the sign-up list and app accounts, on servers in London.
They only handle your data on our instructions.
How long we keep it
Until you ask us to delete it. If you unsubscribe, we keep your record marked as unsubscribed so we don't email you by mistake; ask, and we'll delete it completely.

You can ask to see the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or object to how we use it. Email hello@stridesandspires.com and we'll reply within a month. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
