We're now using a clever system called Iubenda for this. You tell it which third-party features your website uses (like Google Analytics or embedded YouTube videos) and then it automatically generates a privacy policy based on those elements. Even better, the policy lives on the Iubenda website and is automatically updated by their team of lawyers as and when things change. It costs £20 per site per year.
Privacy laws require privacy policies on websites and apps: Use our lawyer-crafted, self-updating and international privacy policy generator.

This must be about the only place where I haven't yet spread the word about Amazing Women by Rail. This community rail/ tourism project is a collaboration between Mid Cheshire CRP; Friends of Littleborough Stations; Community Rail Lancashire and ACoRP with support from WiCR and Northern. The project was co-ordinated by Sally Buttifant (Mid Cheshire CRP Officer) and aims to encourage people to visit towns and cities by rail on both the Mid Cheshire and Calder Valley lines to discover the stories behind the amazing women - both known and unknown - associated with these places.
We launched the project last month at Elizabeth Gaskell's House in Manchester with people from Mid Cheshire Rail Users Association/ CRP; Friends of Littleborough Stations; staff from Northern, Network Rail and TfGM and many other friends and colleagues from the community rail world. Thanks to everyone who came along and supported the launch.
We have had fantastic response to the booklet : HRH The Princess... less
