Our Basis for Collecting Data

We will only use your personal data if we have a legal basis to do so.  This means that we will only use personal data where we have your explicit consent, where it is necessary in order to perform a contract with you, to comply with a legal duty or right, to protect your vital interests, or where the processing of your personal information is in our legitimate interest and not overridden by your legal rights.

There are generally three legal bases under which we may process your data:

Consent: When consent is required we will always ask for your explicit consent to processing your personal data.

Contract: When you make a purchase from us or become a member, you are entering a contract with us.  We need to process and store your data in order to perform this contract.

Legitimate interests: In some situations we collect and process your personal data for purposes that are in our legitimate organisational interests.  In doing so we consider that there is no overriding prejudice to you and that you would reasonably expect us to use your data in this way.

What data do we collect?

Members

We use your personal data to administer your subscriptions, orders and other services which you have purchased.

We collect the following data:

• Personal identification information (Name, address and postcode, email address, phone number, etc.)
• Bank and/or credit card details or PayPal account details.

We may also create information about you that becomes your personal data such as:

• Your membership number
• Membership history
• Results of surveys or quizzes you have taken
• Interactions with our website
• Payments you have made to us.

As a member your personal data such as your name, postal or email address is stored on our systems for the purposes of providing you with your subscription services. This is kept on our membership system for three years following the termination of your membership. This personal data is managed in line with our Privacy Policy and is not shared with third parties except where we have a legal obligation to do so.

We retain membership data of former members for three years (from last interaction with the member) on our membership database, after which only the name and contact details of the former member is retained and archived for 20 years (all other data on the member's record is deleted). The archived data is not used for marketing or for contacting the former member unless the member has consented to receiving marketing communication from ourselves.

Guests

In order to access the free articles on our website you need to sign up for free access.  As part of this access we collect the following information:

• Email address

As a guest your personal data such as your email address is stored on our systems for the purposes of providing you with your free access and any newsletters you have opted into. This personal data is managed in line with our Privacy Policy and is not shared with third parties except where we have a legal obligation to do so.

How do we collect your data?

You directly provide us with most of the data we collect. We collect data and process data when you:

• Register online or place an order for any of our products or services.
• Voluntarily complete a customer survey or provide feedback on any of our message boards or via email.
• Use or view our website via your browser’s cookies.
• Sign up to a mailing list or newsletter

How will we use your data?

We collect your data so that we can:

• Process your order and manage your account.
• Email you with special offers on other products and services we think you might like.
• Update you on changes to our website including new content in which you may be interested (members only).
• Email you with any newsletters you have opted into

Harman Hay Publications Ltd will not share your data with other companies so that they may offer you their products and services.

When we process your order, we may send your data to, and also use the resulting information from, credit reference agencies to prevent fraudulent purchases.

Analysis and grouping

We analyse data about our members and non-members to understand common characteristics and preferences. We analyse various types of information including activity (e.g. posts viewed) and demographic information (e.g. age or location). By analysing data and grouping people together by common characteristics, we can provide more relevant communications, offers, and information, improve our activities and services, and operate more efficiently.

Research and profiling

We also use personal data to build profiles of categories of members and add profiles to the individual’s member’s record. This enables us to understand our members and supporters, improve our relationships, and provide a better member and supporter experience.

We do not carry out profiling that has any significant legal effect on you. If we think that any profiling activities that we carry out may have a significant legal effect, then we will ask for your consent to ensure you are informed and have control.

You have the right to object to this profiling. If you would like to do so, please let us know by contacting us using the details at the bottom of this policy.

Anonymised data

We may aggregate and anonymise personal data. We use anonymised or de-identified information for a variety of purposes, such as identifying trends or patterns within our existing member or supporter base, to improve our activities and services, including our campaigns, retail offers, services, newsletters and magazine.

How do we store your data?

Our Company securely stores your data at data centres located in the United Stated of America.  These data centres meet the requirements of the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks.

Banking details

We store your bank account and debit / credit card details in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).

How long do we store your data?

We keep your personal data safely for as short a time as we need it or legally have to keep it. In doing so, we:

• review the length of time we keep your personal data;
• consider the purposes for which we hold the personal data in deciding whether (and for how long) to retain it;
• securely delete personal data that is no longer needed for those purposes; and
• update, archive or securely delete personal data if it goes out of date.

The time periods for which we retain your personal data depend on the purposes for which we use it.

We have set destruction limits taking into account legal rules, your rights and our needs and have a continuous programme that securely destroys your personal data when we have reached the relevant time limit.

When you make a payment to us by giving us your card or bank account details, we may temporarily store these details securely in order to process the payment as soon as possible. After the payment has been processed we safely destroy the card or bank account details.

If you make regular payments to us, we will safely store your payment details for processing of the payment.

Marketing

We would like to send you information about products and services of ours that we think you might like.

If you have agreed to receive marketing, you may always opt out at a later date.

You have the right at any time to stop us from contacting you for marketing purposes or giving your data to other members of the Harman Hay Publishing group.

If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please email us at [email protected].
