This privacy policy explains how Fowlers Lot Allotment Society uses and protects any information that you give us when you use this website or join the Society.

1. Who We Are

We are the Fowlers Lot Allotment Society. We are an independent society set up to support, advise, and represent plot holders on the William Fowler Allotments.

Please note: We operate separately from the William Fowler Allotment Trust (WFAT) and Chipping Norton Town Council.

• Name and contact information (email address).
