| On the tag | Why the wharf keeps it | Retained until |
|---|---|---|
| Nickname | So the wharf can address you by your chosen name | The day you untie the account |
| Email address | Telling one mooring tag from another at login | The day you untie the account |
| Password hash | Letting you in while the wharf never holds the password itself | The day you untie the account |
| Sign-up date | Answering your letters and dealing with misuse | The day you untie the account |
Beyond those four entries nothing is gathered. The wharf does not ask for your real name, your address, your date of birth, your telephone number or any payment detail, there being nothing on it to pay for. Of your password we keep only a one-way hash. Lawful basis: performance of a contract (providing the account you requested). Untie the account and every entry is removed at once; the button for that waits on your account page.

Should you select “Accept all”, Google Analytics and Google Ads tags measure visits and whether our adverts result in play, such as a first spin having taken place. Google is then sent your IP address, device information and those events. Should you select “Essential only”, the same tags operate in consent mode, with no cookies and no advertising identifiers. Lawful basis: consent.
For the sake of security our hosting provider retains ordinary request logs over a short period. Lawful basis: legitimate interests.
At any point you are entitled to access, correct or erase what we hold, to restrict or object to processing, and to withdraw consent. Untying your account on the account page erases the account data immediately, and clearing this site’s data in your browser removes whatever else remains.

On Creasewater Wharf the towpath is for those aged 18 or over. Each regatta, alcove and kiln runs on virtual coins with no monetary value, which nobody can buy, sell, withdraw or exchange. You will not find a cashier’s hatch, a payment page or a prize of real-world value anywhere along the canal, and a fine afternoon at the regatta does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
