Stephanie Thomas - team@thebnbschool.com
It is very important that the information we hold about you is accurate and up to date. Please let me know if at any time your personal information changes by emailing us at team@thebnbschool.com.
Personal data means any information capable of identifying an individual. It does not include anonymised data.
we may process certain types of personal data about you as follows:
We may also process Aggregated Data from your personal data but this data does not reveal your identity and as such in itself is not personal data. An example of this is where we review your Usage Data to work out the percentage of website users using a specific feature of our site. If we link the Aggregated Data with your personal data so that you can be identified from it, then it is treated as personal data.
Sensitive Data
We do not collect any Sensitive Data about you. Sensitive data refers to data that includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data. We do not collect any information about criminal convictions and offenses.
Where we are required to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of the contract between us and you, and you do not provide us with that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract (for example, to deliver goods or services to you). If you don’t provide us with the requested data, we may have to cancel a product or service you have ordered, but if we do, we will notify you at the time.
We may collect data about you by you providing the data directly to us (for example, by filling in forms on our site or by sending us emails). We may automatically collect certain data from you through cookies and similar technologies as you use our website. Please see our Cookie Policy for more details about this.
We may receive data from third parties such as analytics providers such as Google based outside the UK and/or EU, advertising networks such as Facebook based outside of the UK and/or the EU, such as search information providers such as Google based outside the UK and/or the EU.
We may receive data from providers of technical, payment and delivery services such as Stripe and Katra based inside and outside the EU.
We may also receive data from publicly available sources such as Companies House and the Electoral Register based inside the UK and/or the EU.
4. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
Our lawful ground for processing your personal data to send you marketing communications is either your consent or our legitimate interests.
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we may send you marketing communications from us if:
1. You requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us; or
2. You agreed to receive marketing communications; in each case, you have not opted out of receiving such communications since. Under these regulations, we may send you emails without your consent. However, you can still opt-out of receiving marketing emails from us at any time.
We will never share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.
Where you opt out of receiving our marketing communications, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.
5. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below:
We require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
We are subject to the provisions of the UK General Data Protection Regulations that protect your personal data. Where we transfer data to third parties outside of the UK, we will ensure that certain safeguards are in place to ensure a similar degree of security for your personal data. As such:
If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
7. DATA SECURITY
We have put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or altered or disclosed without authorisation.
We also allow access to your personal data only to those employees and partners who have a business need to know such data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they must keep it confidential.
We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach if we are legally required to do so.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
When deciding the correct time to keep the data, we look at its amount, nature and sensitivity, potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the processing purposes if these can be achieved by other means and legal requirements.
For tax purposes, the law requires us to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they stop being customers.
In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data for research or statistical purposes, and we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Under data protection laws, you have rights concerning your personal data that include the right to request access, correction, erasure, restriction, transfer, object to processing, to portability of data and (where the lawful ground is consent) to withdraw consent.
If you are within the UK, you can see more about these rights at:
https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email us at team@thebnbschool.com.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
