How we use Personal Information

The Personal information provided to us will be used for the purposes outlined at the time of collection or registration in accordance with the preferences you express. Personal data collected and processed by us may be used for the below purposes. The data privacy law allows this as part of our legitimate interest in understanding our customers and providing the highest levels of service.

  • Administration of event registration

  • Fulfilment of orders for goods and services requested

  • Research and statistical analysis

  • Communication about special offers and promotions that are directly related to your event and that we therefore think may be of interest to you

  • Ensuring all marketing communications you receive from us are relevant, such as tailoring messages

 

We may host encrypted personal data on third party websites such as social media platforms to allow us to profile our supporters and target similar audiences with our communications. This data is not linked to any personally-identifiable information. Your data would only ever be analysed or profiled through encrypted and protected data, which only ever identifies broad statistics.

 

Who we Share your Personal Data with

We sometimes share your personal data with trusted third parties. Examples include IT companies that support our websites. Our company is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with the online platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall. 

All direct payment gateways offered by Wix.com and used by our company adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

Your Marketing Permissions

The Consent Collective always acts upon your choices around what type of communications you want to receive and how you want to receive them. It is easy to change your preferences or unsubscribe from mailing lists, but please remember that if you choose not to share your basic personal data with us, or refuse certain contact permissions, we might not be able to provide some of the services you have asked for.

Retention & Legal Bases

  • Consent
    In specific situations, we can collect and process your data. For example, when you tick a box to receive email newsletters. When collecting your personal data, we’ll always make it clear to you, what data is necessary for a particular product or service.

     

  • Contractual Obligations
    In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations. For instance, if you purchase a product from us, we’ll collect your address details so that we can deliver your purchase and will pass them onto our courier company.

    Similarly, we’ll keep details of your personal data and product purchase history so that we can ensure we can provide the aftersales support and assistance to do with your purchase.

     

  • Legal Compliance
    If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data. For example, we can pass on the details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity that affects The Consent Collective to law enforcement.

     

  • Legitimate Interest
    In specific situations, we require your personal data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.

    For example, we will use your registration data to send you reminders when the event is coming up.

     

Consent
Where we need your consent, we will always ensure that you are as fully informed as possible at the time on what we do with your information, with whom it may be shared and how long we will keep it. This is in line with the requirements of the Data Protection Act, GDPR and other relevant legislation.

We cannot be held responsible for the privacy policies of third party websites and we advise users to read the privacy policies of other websites before registering any personal data.

Security of your Information

We recognise the concerns that many people have about submitting personal information online. The methods we use to ensure your information is secure include:

  • The use of data encryption, firewalls and other security systems for our IT systems

  • SSL certificates to provide maximum trust and security for the transmission of personal information through our websites. On any of our data entry pages you can check the security and authenticity by right clicking on the padlock icon in the address bar.

  • Third party “payment gateways” for the processing of credit card information. No credit card information is stored, transmitted or processed directly through our web servers.
