Data protection principles

We will comply with data protection law. This says that the personal information we hold about you must be:

1. Used lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way.

2. Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.

3. Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.

4. Accurate and kept up to date.

5. Kept only as long as necessary for the purposes we have told you about.

6. Kept securely.

The kind of information we hold about you

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

There are certain types of more sensitive personal data which require a higher level of protection, such as information about a person’s health, racial or ethnic origin or criminal convictions.

We will collect, store, and use the following categories of personal information about you:

  • Personal contact details such as title, first names, surname, addresses, telephone numbers, and personal email addresses.
  • Your job title, the name of your employer, your work telephone number and your work email address.
  • Information about your use of our website including (but not limited to) the orders you have placed via our website and any preferences you have subscribed to in relation to the products available on our website.
  • Your payment card or payment account details.
  • Any information you submit to us including through the “contact us” section of our website.
  • Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our website that you visit, the time and date of your visit to our website, the time spent on the pages you visit, your unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

We do not intend to collect, store or use any sensitive personal data about you such as personal data about your health, racial or ethnic origin or criminal convictions.

How is your personal information collected?

We collect personal information about you:

  • through your use of the website such as when you place your order via the website; and
  • through your use of our services such as when you book us to deliver our teaching services.

How we will use information about you

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:

1. Where we need to perform the contract we have with you under which we provide you with the products and services you have ordered. 

2. Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

3. Where it is necessary for legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

4. Where we have your consent to contact you about marketing and other updates regarding our website.

We may also use your personal information where we need to protect your vital interests (or someone else’s vital interests), although that is likely to be rare.

Situations in which we will use your personal information

We need all the categories of information in the list above primarily to allow us to properly provide our website and services to you, to fulfil your orders and to enable us to comply with legal obligations. We may also use your personal information to pursue legitimate interests, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. The situations in which we will process your personal information, and the lawful basis for the processing, are listed in the table below.

Please note that, under the laws of your country of residence, you may not have legal capacity to consent to the use of your data if you are aged under 18. Where you do not have legal capacity to give your consent in accordance with the laws of your country of residence, and where we rely on the legal basis of consent to process data regarding you (as listed in the table below), it is your responsibility to ensure that your parent or guardian (in each case being at least aged 18) has given consent on your behalf.

If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Automated decision-making

We do not envisage that any decisions will be taken about you using automated means, however we will notify you in writing if this position changes.

Data sharing

We will share your data with third parties such as third-party service providers in order to provide our service to you.

Third parties are required to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

We may transfer your personal information outside the EU.

If we do, you can expect a similar degree of protection in respect of your personal information.

Why might you share my personal information with third parties?

We may share your personal information with third parties where required by law, where it is necessary to administer our relationship with you or in order for a third-party service provider to provide a service related to your order or your use of our website and services.

Which third parties process my personal information?

“Third parties” include our third-party service providers (including our contractors and designated agents).

We will share your personal information with our service providers including those providing order fulfilment, delivery, administration, financial, IT services and analytics services.

How secure is my information with third parties?

All our service providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information. They must only process your personal data for specified permitted purposes and in accordance with data protection law.

What about other third parties?

We may share your personal information with other third parties, for example in the context of the possible sale or restructuring of our business. In this situation we will, so far as possible, share anonymised data with the other parties before the transaction completes. Once the transaction is completed, we will share your personal data with the other parties if and to the extent required under the terms of the transaction.

We may need to share your personal information with a regulator or to otherwise comply with the law.

We may need to share your personal information with our professional advisors, the authorities and the courts in certain situations (for example, to enforce our legal rights or to defend ourselves against allegations or claims made against us, to prevent or investigate wrongdoings or suspected wrongdoings or to protect and safeguard the users who use our website and services).

Transferring information outside the EU

We use third parties to host our data. As part of the data hosting, the personal information we collect about you may be stored outside the EEA.

However, to ensure that your personal information does receive an adequate level of protection we will make sure that we take steps necessary to protect your data as required by applicable laws. For instance, where appropriate we will put in place the EU Commission’s approved Model Contractual Clauses or equivalent level protections to ensure that your personal information is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects the EU and UK laws on data protection.

Data security

We have put in place measures to protect the security of your information.

Our third-party service providers will process your personal information on our instructions and they are required to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to access your personal information. They will process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

However, you should be aware that the transmission of information and data is never completely secure and there is a measure of risk associated with the use of any online service.

Data retention

How long will you use my information for?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.

Rights of access, correction, erasure, and restriction

Your duty to inform us of changes

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please let us know via the “contact us” section of our website if your personal information changes.

Your rights in connection with personal information

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact us via the “contact us” section of our website.

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

Right to withdraw consent

In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact us via the “contact us” section of our website. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.

The withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.
