PRIVACY NOTICE

This is the privacy notice of The Right Lines owned by Hannah Rooke. In this document, "I", "my", or "me" refer to The Right Lines. My website is www.the-right-lines.co.uk

 

Introduction

This privacy notice aims to inform you about how I collect and process any information that I collect from you, or that you provide to me. It covers information that could identify you (“personal information”) and information that could not. In the context of the law and this notice, “process” means collect, store, transfer, use or otherwise act on information. It tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

​

I am committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. My policy is not just an exercise in complying with the law, but a continuation of my respect for you and your personal information. I undertake to preserve the confidentiality of all information you provide to me, and hope that you reciprocate.

​

My policy complies with the Data Protection Act 2018 accordingly incorporating the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

​

The law requires me to tell you about your rights and my obligations to you in regard to the processing and control of your personal data. I do this now, by requesting that you read the information provided at www.knowyourprivacyrights.org

 

Except as set out below, I do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through my website.

 

Data I process

I may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you. I have collated these into groups as follows:

• Your identity includes information such as first name, last name, title, date of birth, and other identifiers that you may have provided at some time.

• Your contact information includes information such as billing address, delivery address, email address, telephone numbers and any other information you have given to me for the purpose of communication or meeting.

• Your financial data includes information such as your bank account and payment card details. I do not collect this information through www.the-right-lines.co.uk

• Transaction data includes details about payments or communications to and from you and information about products and services you have purchased from me. I do not collect this information through www.the-right-lines.co.uk

• Technical data includes your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.

• Marketing data includes your preferences in receiving marketing from me; communication preferences; responses and actions in relation to your use of our services.

 

I may aggregate anonymous data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Anonymous data is data that does not identify you as an individual. Aggregated data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal information in law because it does not reveal your identity.

 

For example, I may aggregate profile data to assess interest in a product or service.

 

However, if I combine or connect aggregated data with your personal information so that it can identify you in any way, I treat the combined data as personal information and it will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

 

Special personal information

Special personal information is data 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.

​

I do not collect any special personal information about you.

​

If you do not provide personal information I need

Where I need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract I have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, I may not be able to perform that contract. In that case, I may have to stop providing a service to you. If so, I will notify you of this at the time.

 

The bases on which I process information about you

The law requires me to determine under which of six defined bases I process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each category.

​

If a basis on which I process your personal information is no longer relevant then I shall immediately stop processing your data.

​

If the basis changes then if required by law I shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which I have determined that I can continue to process your information.

​

Information I process because I have a contractual obligation with you

When you buy a service from me, or otherwise agree to my terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and me.

​

In order to carry out my obligations under that contract I must process the information you give me. Some of this information may be personal information.

​

I may use it in order to:

• verify your identity for security purposes

• provide you with services

• provide you with suggestions and advice on products and services

 

I process this information on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you have requested I use the information before I enter into a legal contract.

​

I shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.

 

Information I process with your consent

Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us, such as when you browse my website or ask me to provide you more information about my business, including my services, you provide your consent to me to process information that may be personal information.

​

Wherever possible, I aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to my use of cookies.

​

I continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.

​

You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing me. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use my website or my services further.

​

Information I process for the purposes of legitimate interests

I may process information on the basis there is a legitimate interest, either to you or to me, of doing so. Where I process your information on this basis, I do after having given careful consideration to:

​

• whether the same objective could be achieved through other means

• whether processing (or not processing) might cause you harm

• whether you would expect me to process your data, and whether you would, in the round, consider it reasonable to do so

​​

For example, I may process your data on this basis for the purposes of:

• record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of my business 

• responding to unsolicited communication from you to which I believe you would expect a response

• protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party

• insuring against or obtaining professional advice that is required to manage business risk

• protecting your interests where I believe I have a duty to do so

 

Information I process because I have a legal obligation

Sometimes, I must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation.

​

For example, I may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.

​

This may include your personal information.

​

Specific uses of information you provide to me

​

Information relating to your method of payment

Payment information is never taken by me or transferred to me either through my website or otherwise.

​

I use this information in aggregate to assess the popularity of the webpages on my website and how I perform in providing content to you.

If combined with other information I know about you from previous visits, the data possibly could be used to identify you personally, even if you are not signed in to my website.    

​

My use of re-marketing

Re-marketing involves placing a cookie on your computer when you browse my website in order to be able to serve to you an advert for my products or services when you visit some other website.

​

I may use a third party to provide re-marketing services from time to time. If so, then if you have consented to my use of cookies, you may see advertisements for my products and services on other websites.

 

Disclosure and sharing of your information

Information I obtain from third parties

Although I do not disclose your personal information to any third party (except as set out in this notice), I sometimes receive data that is indirectly made up from your personal information from third parties whose services I use.

​

No such information is personally identifiable to you.

​

Data may be processed outside the European Union

My website is hosted by Wix whose servers are located across the world.

I may also use outsourced services in countries outside the European Union from time to time in other aspects of my business.

​

This may limit the service I can provide to you.

​

Other matters

Use of site by children

I do not sell products or provide services for purchase by children, nor do I market to children.

​

How you can complain

If you are not happy with my privacy policy or if you have any complaint then you should tell me.

​

If a dispute is not settled then I hope you will agree to attempt to resolve it by engaging in good faith with me in a process of mediation or arbitration.

​

If you are in any way dissatisfied about how I process your personal information, you have a right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). I would, however, appreciate the opportunity to talk to you about your concern before you approach the ICO.

​

Retention period for personal data

Except as otherwise mentioned in this privacy notice, I keep your personal information only for as long as required:

• to provide you with the services you have requested;

• to comply with other law, including for the period demanded by our tax authorities;

• to support a claim or defence in court.    

 

Compliance with the law

My privacy policy has been compiled so as to comply with the law of every country or legal jurisdiction in which I aim to do business. If you think it fails to satisfy the law of your jurisdiction, I should like to hear from you.

 

However, ultimately it is your choice as to whether you wish to use my website.
