To acknowledge, confirm and deal with your booking (and where necessary put you on our waiting list). Such use of your data is necessary to 0implement your request to become a client.

To complete and fulfil your booking, appointment, and product sales, for example, to process your payment, and provide you with related customer service, including sending confirmations or pre-arrival messages, assist you with events or celebrations. Such use is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us.

To contact you in connection with user/customer/member surveys and use any information you choose to submit in response, if you gave us your consent to being contacted in this way at the time you provided us with the personal data.

As necessary for certain legitimate business interests, which include the following:

where we are asked to deal with any enquiries or complaints you make.

to administer our site, to better understand how visitors interact with our websites and ensure that our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer/device.

to conduct analytics to inform our marketing strategy to enhance and personalise the experience we offer to our members, customers, and our communications, including by creating customer or member profiles to enable personalised direct marketing communications.

to provide postal communications which we think will be of interest to you.

if you ask us to delete your data or to be removed from our marketing lists and we are required to fulfil your request, to keep basic data to identify you and prevent further unwanted processing.

we may anonymise, aggregate and de-identify the data that we collect and use such anonymised, aggregated, and de-identified data for our own internal business purposes.

for internal business/technical operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, statistical and survey purposes and as part of our efforts to keep our site, network and information systems secure.

to (a) comply with legal obligations, (b) respond to requests from competent authorities; (c) enforce our Terms and Conditions; (d) protect our operations; (e) protect our rights, safety or property, you or others; and (f) enforcing or defending legal rights or preventing damage.

• We may use your personal data for other purposes which you have consented to at the time of providing your data.
 

As used in this Privacy Policy, “legitimate interests” means the interests of Wendy Rider in conducting and managing our business. When we process your personal data for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you, and your rights under data protection laws. Our legitimate interests do not automatically override your interests. We will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you, unless we have your consent, or those activities are otherwise required or permitted to by law. You have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data that is based on our legitimate interests, on grounds relating to your particular situation (for more information on your rights, please see “Your Data Protection Rights” section below).

6. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION
We share your personal data with third parties in the following situations:
• Service Providers: Wendy Rider, like many businesses, sometimes hires selected third parties who act on our behalf to support our operations, such as (i) card processing or payment services (see the section below headed “Payment Information”), (ii) IT suppliers and contractors (e.g. data hosting providers or delivery partners) as necessary to provide IT support and enable us to provide services and other goods/services available on this Site, (iii) web analytics providers, (iv) providers of digital advertising services and (v) providers of CRM, marketing and sales software solutions. Pursuant to our instructions, these parties may access, process or store your personal data in the course of performing their duties to us and solely in order to perform the services we have hired them to provide.
• Administrative and Legal Reasons: if we need to disclose your personal data (i) to comply with a legal obligation and/or judicial or regulatory proceedings, a court order or other legal process. (ii) to enforce our Terms & Conditions or other applicable contract terms that you are subject to or (iii) to protect us, our clients, or members against loss or damage. This may include (without limit) exchanging information with the police, courts or law enforcement organisations.

7. PAYMENT INFORMATION
Any credit/debit card payments and other payments you make will be processed by our third party payment providers and the payment data you submit will be securely stored and encrypted by our payment service providers using up to date industry standards. Please note that we do not ourselves directly process or store the debit/credit card data that you submit.

We store and use this card or payment information for the purpose of processing any future payments that you make as a member for additional goods and services. We will store this data in accordance with our legal obligations under applicable law and only for so long as legally permitted.

You may choose to opt out of us holding your card or payment data although this means that you will need to re-supply us with card/payment details for the purpose of making any future purchases.

8. PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Your personal data may be transferred to and stored in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected, including the United States and other destinations outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), to our service providers for the purposes described above.

Please note that the countries concerned may not provide the same legal standards for protection of your personal data that you have in the United Kingdom or EEA. Where we transfer your personal data to countries outside of the EEA we will take all steps to ensure that your personal data will continue to be protected. We will implement appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to our service providers in accordance with the applicable law, such as relying on our service providers’ Privacy Shield certification.

9. LINKS TO OTHER SITES
This Site contains links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave this site, you should note that I do not have any control over that other site. Therefore, I cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

10. SECURITY
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password or log-in which enables you to access certain restricted parts of our Site, you are responsible for doing everything you reasonably can to keep these details secret. You must not share your password or log-in details with anyone else.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the internet or public communications networks can never be completely secure. We will take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect the personal data that you submit to us against unauthorised/unlawful access or loss, destruction, or damage, although we cannot 100% guarantee the security of personal data that you provide to us online.

11. PERSONAL DATA RETENTION
We will keep your personal data only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or for the duration required by any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements, whichever is the longer. In particular, we retain consultation records for seven years after your custom ceases. When you consent to receive marketing communications, we will keep your data until you unsubscribe.

To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, applicable legal requirements or operational retention needs, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period we will securely destroy your personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer personal data.

12. YOUR PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS
