PRIVACY

Your privacy is important. Please read this privacy policy to understand what types of data are collected on our website, and how it is used.

​

The type of personal information we collect

​

We currently collect and process the following information:

  • When you browse our website we collect the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet.

  • If you perform a transaction such as a booking or a subscription on our website then we collect additional information such as name, email and phone number.

  • We may use software tools to measure and collect session information, including page response times, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information, and methods used to browse away from the page.

​

How we get the personal information and why we have it

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you when you make a booking, contact us or subscribe to our newsletter.

​

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:

​

  • Legitimate Interest: If you contact us it is clearly in your legitimate interest for us to process your data and respond to your enquiry. We may also occasionally send you informative updates that are relevant to your business needs.

  • Consent: We collect explicit consent when customers subscribe for our marketing newsletter.

​

How we store your personal information

​

  • Information you supply is stored securely on cloud-based and local servers. Please take care not to share sensitive information in normal correspondence as this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

  • Our payment gateway adheres to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

​

Sharing of Data

​

  • When contracted by you as a client we may share specific data with our trusted partners which needs to be processed to fulfil your order.

  • We have Facebook, Google Analytics and Hotjar Pixels embedded on our website. These are snippets of code which when enabled send anonymised browsing information to those third parties to help us run effective retargeting campaigns and to monitor patterns of website usage. These pixels are disabled by default until you enable them in our cookies pop-up notice.

​

Retention Of Data

​

We find that customers enjoy our service and often require our ongoing support as they grow their businesses. We will be retaining data until the end of 2022 when we will undergo a review. In that review we will  determine what data we should retain for lawful purposes or for the client’s legitimate interest, and what data should be deleted.

​
