Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 15 August 2025

Welcome to Tired World (“we”, “us”, or “our”), accessible at tiredworld.co.uk (the “Website”). Tired World is a men-only space, legally established under Schedule 16 of the Equality Act 2010, dedicated to supporting men’s mental health and combating social isolation. We provide a safe and understanding community to foster connection and wellbeing. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle personal data and privacy when you visit our Website, join our club, or purchase tickets through our platform, in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and other applicable laws.

​

1. Who We Are

Tired World is an informal, non-commercial club operating as a men-only community under Schedule 16 of the Equality Act 2010. For the purposes of data protection laws, we are the “data controller” responsible for any personal data we process.

​

2. Personal Data We Collect

​

2.1. Website Usage

We do not capture, collect, or store personal data from users of our Website, except as described below for ticket purchases. The Website primarily provides information about Tired World and offers a link to join our WhatsApp group, where community engagement occurs. Any personal data you provide when joining or participating in the WhatsApp group is handled by WhatsApp, not by us, and is subject to WhatsApp’s privacy policy.

​

2.2. Membership Data

To join the club, you may provide minimal personal data (e.g., name, signature) via a membership waiver form. This data is collected to manage membership and ensure eligibility for our men-only community, as permitted under Schedule 16 of the Equality Act 2010. We process this data based on our legitimate interests in operating the club or your consent provided through the waiver.

​

2.3. Ticket Purchases

When you purchase tickets for events through our Website, hosted by Wix, we collect personal data necessary for processing the transaction, such as your name, email address, and payment details. This data is used solely to facilitate ticket sales and to notify you about the events for which you have purchased tickets. We do not use your email address for advertising or unsolicited communications (spam).

​

3. How We Use Your Data

• Website Usage: We do not collect personal data via the Website except for ticket purchases. No forms, accounts, or other mechanisms are used to collect personal data for general browsing.

• Membership Data: Data such as names and signatures is used solely to administer club membership and is not shared with third parties, except as required by law.

• Ticket Purchases: Data collected during ticket purchases is used to process transactions and send event-related notifications (e.g., event details, updates, or reminders). We do not use this data for marketing or other purposes.

• Legal Basis: We process membership and ticket purchase data based on our legitimate interests in operating the club and fulfilling transactions, or based on your consent where applicable.
   

4. Cookies and Automated Technologies

Our Website may use minimal cookies or similar technologies strictly necessary for basic functionality, such as ensuring the Website loads correctly or processing ticket purchases through Wix. We do not use cookies to collect personal data, track user behavior, or deliver personalised content. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

​​

5. Third-Party Links and Services

• WhatsApp: Our Website includes a link to join a WhatsApp group. Any personal data you provide to WhatsApp (e.g., phone number, messages) is governed by WhatsApp’s privacy policy, available on their website. We are not responsible for WhatsApp’s privacy practices.

• Wix: Ticket purchases are processed through Wix, a third-party platform. Personal data provided during ticket purchases is subject to Wix’s privacy policy, available on their website. We are not responsible for Wix’s privacy practices.

• We encourage you to review the privacy policies of WhatsApp, Wix, or any other third-party services linked from our Website before participating.
   

6. Data Security

• Membership Data: Data collected via waiver forms is securely stored (e.g., in a locked filing cabinet for physical forms or encrypted files for digital forms) to prevent unauthorised access.

• Ticket Purchase Data: Data collected through Wix is protected by Wix’s security measures, as outlined in their privacy policy. We ensure that any data we access is stored securely and used only for the intended purpose.

• Website: We ensure our Website is hosted on a secure platform to protect its integrity. As we collect minimal personal data via the Website, no additional security measures are required for general browsing.
   

7. Data Retention

• Membership Data: Names, signatures, or other membership data are retained for the duration of your membership and up to one year after your membership ends, unless required by law to retain longer.

• Ticket Purchase Data: Data related to ticket purchases is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the transaction and provide event-related notifications, or as required by law (e.g., for financial records).

• We adhere to our confidentiality obligations in retaining and disposing of personal data.
   

8. Your Legal Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have rights to:

• Access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data.

• Request data portability.
  To exercise these rights regarding membership or ticket purchase data, contact us at the details below. As we do not collect personal data via general Website usage, these rights do not apply to browsing activities. For data processed by WhatsApp or Wix, please contact those services directly. You can also lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
   

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Significant changes will be communicated via email, WhatsApp group announcements, or by posting the updated policy on our Website. The “Last Updated” date at the top indicates when the policy was last revised.
