5. Disclosures of your personal data
I may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table Purposes for which I will Use Your Personal Data above:
Internal Third Parties as set out above.
External Third Parties as set out above.
Third parties to whom I may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of my business or our assets. And/or with who I have commercial co-operation and / or joint venture arrangements (or similar) from time to time. Alternatively, I may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to my business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.
I require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. I do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with my instructions.
I strictly prohibit users from recording your data with automated programs, software, or any other method of screen scraping. The data is the property of The Medical Massage Lady..
6. International transfers
At times I may share your personal data with entities outside UK. This will involve transferring your data outside the UK.
We have reviewed all our systems and the below are those that process data outside of the UK and their locations:
Facebook (Ads) | USA | Advertising
Google Ads | Europe | Advertising
Google Data Studio | Europe | Reporting and insights
7. Data security
I have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, I limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
All account information is password protected. Where appropriate I use industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect data transmission.
I use SSL technology extensively on our all back-office systems which store and / or process customer account information.
I endeavour to make purchasing my products and services as safe as I reasonably can. Your browser will automatically default to secure mode before you enter any personal or payment details. This means that all of your details are encrypted to keep them secure.
I only accept payments which are placed using SSL. I do not store debit or credit card details on my servers once initial payment has been made and processed. All such details are stored securely through Symantec which uses internationally recognised encryption systems. Encryption keys are then held on state-of-the-art tamper-proof systems. I have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where I are legally required to do so.
8. Data retention
How long will you use my personal data for?
I will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes I collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. I may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if I reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to my relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data,I 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 I process your personal data and whether I can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
As a general guide, I retain enquiry information for a period of up to two years from the date of the last enquiry. After that time the information is securely archived. All archived information is kept for a minimum period of six years from the date of receipt.
By law I have to keep basic information about my customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for a minimum of six years after they cease being customers (this is usually once the individual has completed their course) for tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask me to delete your data: -
In some circumstances I will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case I may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
9. Your legal rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, I may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, I could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
I may need to request specific information from you to help me confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. I may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up my response.
I try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take me longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, I will notify you and keep you updated.
