Who We Are

This website is operated by local residents campaigning against the proposed travel plan for Sevenoaks Masjid Centre (planning application 25/02666/DETAIL). We are not affiliated with any commercial organisation.

The Simple Answer

We don't collect, store, or transmit your data anywhere. This site runs entirely in your browser.

What Data We Process

When you use the form, JavaScript in your browser processes:

  • Your first name and last name
  • Your full postal address and postcode
  • Your email address
  • Any additional comments you choose to include

This data never leaves your device. It is used only to generate a pre-filled email that opens in your email client.

How It Works (Technical Detail)

  1. You fill in the form on this webpage
  2. JavaScript running in your browser generates a unique email using spintax (random variations)
  3. When you click submit, your browser creates a mailto: link
  4. This link opens your default email client (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.) with the pre-filled objection
  5. You review the email and click send in your email client
  6. The email is sent directly from your email account to the council

At no point does your data pass through our servers, databases, or infrastructure. We have no servers. This is a static HTML website.

What We DO NOT Do

  • ❌ Store your data in a database
  • ❌ Send your data to any server
  • ❌ Track you with cookies
  • ❌ Use analytics (Google Analytics, etc.)
  • ❌ Share your data with third parties
  • ❌ Sell or rent your data
  • ❌ Send emails on your behalf (you send them yourself)
  • ❌ Log IP addresses
  • ❌ Use social media pixels
  • ❌ Collect any data whatsoever

Data Storage and Retention

We store nothing. Once you close the browser tab, your data is gone from our site.

Your email will be stored by:

  • Your email provider (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) in your "Sent" folder

Cookies and Tracking

This website does not use:

Your visit is completely anonymous. We have no way of knowing you used this site.

We use none. This is a static HTML/CSS/JavaScript website with no backend services, APIs, or third-party integrations.

Your hosting provider (GitHub Pages, Netlify, etc.) may log IP addresses for infrastructure purposes. See their privacy policies:

Your Rights (GDPR & UK GDPR)

Under UK data protection law, you have rights regarding your personal data. However, since we don't collect or store any data, these rights are not applicable in this case:

Security

Since we don't collect or store data, there's nothing to secure on our end. However:

  • The site is served over HTTPS (encrypted connection)
  • No passwords or sensitive credentials are involved
  • Client-side validation prevents malformed data
  • Honeypot field traps automated bots
  • All processing happens locally in your browser

Your data is as secure as your own device and email account. We recommend:

  • Using a secure, up-to-date browser
  • Enabling two-factor authentication on your email account
  • Using strong, unique passwords

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for adults participating in the planning consultation process. We do not knowingly process data from anyone under 16. Since we don't collect data at all, this is not a concern.

Open Source & Transparency

This website is built with simple HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You can:

  • View the source code (right-click → View Page Source)
  • Inspect the network tab in browser dev tools to confirm no data is sent to any server
  • Review the JavaScript to see exactly what it does (it's not minified or obfuscated)

We encourage technically-minded users to verify our claims.

Changes to This Policy

Since we don't collect data, this policy is unlikely to change. If the site's functionality changes significantly, we'll update this page.
