Privacy policy

The Stable Creative Hub

Introduction

The Stable Weston is strongly committed to safeguarding your data and your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our policy for the collection and use of information about you and your transactions with us. We will never sell or share your data with anyone for marketing purposes. We will only share your data with third parties as necessary in the pursuance of our normal business requirements.

We reserve the right to make changes to this Policy at any time. Your continued use of our products, applications, services and websites that are subject to this Policy will signify your acceptance of any and all changes to this Policy made by us from time to time. You can opt-out at any time.

The Stable Weston is the data controller in connection with any personal information collected or received by us arising from your use of any of our products, services, applications, websites and customer support communications.

How we use your personal data

In this section we have set out:

" the general categories of personal data that we may process " the purposes for which we may process personal data; and " the legal basis for the processing

We will process your personal data in accordance with the United Kingdom's Data Protection Legislation and Europe's new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). We maintain strict security standards and procedures with a view to preventing unauthorised access to your data by anyone, including our staff. We use leading technologies such as (but not limited to) data encryption, fire walls and server authentication to protect the security of your data. For any third-party software or other companies we use or hire to provide support services, we will require them to observe our privacy standards and to allow us to audit them for compliance if required.

2.1 Online Purchases/ Bookings

When you sign up to our website as a member or to make a room booking or membership booking, our web forms ask you to give us information specific to that order, including your name, billing address, shipping address, credit card information and email address. The information that you provide is processed for the purpose of supplying the purchased goods and services and keeping proper records of those transactions. We also use the information to contact you if there is a problem with your order. The legal basis for this processing is the performance of a contract or delivery of a booking between you and us and/ or taking steps, at your request, to enter into such a contract and our legitimate interests, namely our interest in the proper administration of our website and business.

2.2 How long we hold your data for

Creating a booking or sign-in for The Stable's website does not mean that you will start to receive marketing or other email communications. A specific sign-up will be requested for this to happen. Once you have entered your information into our website system to make a booking, it will remain in our system until you ask us to remove it. The basis for this is that if you made a booking you may require additional bookings in the future, so this is to make the process easier for you in the future. If you sign up to any marketing-specific emails then you will continue to receive those communications until you unsubscribe.

2.3 Secure server

All of our transactions automatically take place on a secure server. All of your personal information is encrypted before it is transmitted over the Internet. To clarify as this could confuse: for activities carried out from web address you see, http://www.thestableweston.com/en, the activity and the transactions will actually be carried out on our behind the scenes https:// site, https://thestablehub.spaces.nexudus.com/.

2.4 Visitor Profiling & Statistics

The Stable is not a major telemarketer nor does it run a complex online shop for instance tracking your activity. When you book memberships, events tickets or rooms from us online, our system saves the data so we as humans viewing the data can see your booking/ purchase history to make informed decisions.

We use this information in two ways: We review what kinds of products and services appeal most to our visitors/ users as a group. This statistical information helps us improve our offerings in the same way that other companies change their catalogue based on what sells best. Secondly, we might use information such as the number of bookings someone makes or types of bookings they make/ services they buy to make offers to them we believe will be of interest. We do not give out any information about you, as an individual, to anyone, except to complete your transactions, or to comply with valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order.

The legal basis for this processing is legitimate interest.
