This is the Privacy Policy of The Gentle Mind Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under 11738540, whose registered offices are at 20-22 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU England. The Gentle Mind is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy, and to acting in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2018 and applicable regulations.
Simply visiting The Gentle Mind’s websites does not require you to reveal personal identifiable information (PII or personal data). But if you ask us for information, order goods or services, register with us, use our services or report a problem, we collect any personal data you submit to us, and details of the transactions between you and us. In addition, we store information you may give us about your interests, or we may learn about these from your use of our goods and services. This policy explains how we collect, use and process the data that you give.
Please do not send us any personal data about anyone else without their permission.
We seek to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation 2018 and other regulations, as amended and applicable from time to time. Whenever you give us personal data via our website, you are consenting to its collection and use in accordance with this privacy policy. This privacy policy comprises:
The data that I collect from you may include information that: you provide when you request my services and you complete forms on my, including registering to use my site, subscribing to my services, posting material or using further services about your visits to my site (including traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data whether this is required for our billing purposes or otherwise) and the resources that you access, including by using cookies.
Through Google Analytics, I may also collect information about your computer, including, where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration. This is statistical data about browsing actions and patterns and no individual is identified in collection of this data.
If you do not wish The Gentle Mind to use your personal data for direct marketing of my services, you can unsubscribe using the link in any email you have received from us or you can notify us in writing either by email to jamesthomas@thegentlemind.co.uk. You can manage the direct marketing that you receive from us by signing up to the specific information that you wish to receive.
Please note, however, that occasionally I may need to communicate with you for administrative or operational reasons and therefore whilst you use our goods and services and continue to wish to do so, it is not possible to opt out of all communications with me, unless you cease to be a client of The Gentle Mind entirely, and exercise your right to be forgotten.
I am committed to ensuring the security and integrity of personal information that we hold and acting in compliance with UK and EU data protection requirements, and have put in place appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to ensure this. We welcome updates at any time from enquirers relating to information that we hold about them. As with all electronic communications, when you give me personal data by that means, the data may be sent electronically to servers anywhere in the world and may be used, stored and processed anywhere in the world, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), many of whom do not have stringent data protection laws.
If any data I collect is sent outside the EEA we take all reasonably necessary steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy, including ensuring that the recipients to which it is sent are either “safe” countries with similar data protection regimes to ours or are covered by US Privacy Shield certification or equivalent protection where applicable, or are covered through undertakings under EU standard contractual clauses for transfers of data. Whenever and wherever I collect, process or use personal data, I take steps to ensure that it is treated securely and in accordance with our privacy policy. However, transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and therefore I cannot guarantee the security of data submitted to our site or other electronic means.
I will not disclose your personal information to third parties except: as necessary to fulfil your order(s) for my services and to validate your payment details to suppliers and licensors that process data on my behalf in response to an expressed distributor or partner need, interest or request in the event that I sell or buy any business or assets, including selling my business or assets where I believe, in good faith, that it is necessary to comply with the law or regulatory obligation or to protect the safety of The Gentle Mind, my customers, or the public. This may include exchanging information with other companies or organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Some of these third parties may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), for example credit card processing companies or IT service suppliers or licensors based outside the EEA and therefore data may be transferred to, or stored at, or processed in, a destination outside the EEA.
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, I take all reasonably necessary steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy, including, where applicable, by ensuring that the recipients to which it is sent are either “safe” countries with similar data protection regimes to ours, or are covered by US Privacy Shield certification or equivalent protection where applicable, or are covered through the entering into of EU standard contractual clauses for transfers of data (referred to as the model contract) and monitoring such protections to which ensure the adequacy of privacy measures. By submitting your personal data to me, you agree to this transfer, storing and processing. I may also provide your personal data to anyone to whom our business or business assets are transferred. I may also disclose aggregated and anonymised information for marketing, product development, strategic or research purposes. In such data, no individual will be identified or identifiable from such data.
