What personal data we collect and why we collect it

On some pages, you can book our events, order products and provide your personal details to us. The types of personal information we collect are:

Payments and Credit/Debit Card Information

We collect no payment details from you on our website. Instead we pass your information to our payment providers (e.g. PayPal) and they take your payment. We never see your card details when you pay online.

We collect payment information for bookings may by phone and at some events. All of this information is destroyed as soon as payment is taken and the data is no longer required.

How We Use Information

We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order. We use e-mail addresses to answer the e-mail we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties unless you have specifically agreed to this use, such as for marketing purposes for our future events and/or products/services.

How Data is Stored and for how long

We store your data on an externally hosted, secure, third-party service to enable us to provide our service to you at any location. All data sent and received from this service is encrypted and stored on secure, GDPR-compliant, servers.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

As our customers regularly return for future services, we hold personal information for a period of five years after a customers most recent booking/purchase. After this time data is removed from our database.
