What is personal information?
Personal information is any information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, phone number, email address and IP address – in technical terms, it’s “information about any identified or identifiable living person”.
How do we acquire your personal information?
We will only collect and store information which you give us through forms on our site for the purpose stated on that form. We will only add your details to a contact database for marketing purposes if you give us permission to do so.
We may also automatically receive and store anonymous information, such as your IP address, browser type and whether you’re looking at our site on a mobile device or not, when you interact with us. This type of information is stored in ‘cookies’ and are used to improve our website and user experiences. However, this data cannot be used by us to identify you. You can read more about how we use cookies on our Cookies page.
What do we do with your personal information?
We use your personal details to give you the information or services you ask for. We can also use your information for administrative purposes, to let you know about changes and to provide information on events you have booked onto.
Information including newsletters and updates on our services will only be sent to you if you have agreed for this to happen. You may opt out from these communications at any time.
We reserve the right to share your personal information if we are ever in a situation where we are legally obliged to.
We may use IP addresses and other such personal data to recognise you when you visit or return to this site. This data remains anonymous and allows us to understand how users interact with our site, which helps us to improve the site’s layout, performance and delivery. You can read more about how we do this on use in our cookies policy.
How do we protect your personal data?
We take appropriate precautions to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure and destruction in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). However we cannot guarantee that any data transfer is 100% secure and cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit. You transfer data at your own risk.
Please be aware that email and other electronic communications are not secure if they are not encrypted, and that your communications may pass through servers in a number of country jurisdictions before they reach us. We cannot accept responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of personal data that stems from a cause beyond our control, and we cannot be held responsible for the actions or omissions of third parties who may misuse your personal data if it is unlawfully collected from this site.
How long will we keep your data?
We will hold your personal information until you ask us to remove it. In the event that we no longer require this information, we will delete any and all personal information and will not pass it on or sell it to third parties.
If you sign up for one of our events, we will hold your data for invoicing purposes and to satisfy our auditors until up to the end of the next financial year.
Mailchimp
We use a third party provider, MailChimp, to deliver communications and to promote events. MailChimp allows you to unsubscribe from this email contact by clicking on unsubscribe on any of the emails sent. Our distribution lists are stored on a secure MailChimp server. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks through Mailchimp to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter and promotion of events.
