Visitors to our website

When someone visits www.everydaycation.co.uk, we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be upfront about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.

Who we share your data with

Our website search and decision notice search is powered by Computer Business Services (CBS). Search queries and results are logged anonymously to help us improve our website and search functionality. No user-specific data is collected by either SPATA or any third party. CBS uses Google Webmaster on SPATA’s behalf. For more information, please see Google’s privacy policy

PIP uses a third-party service to help maintain the security and performance of the PIP website. To deliver this service, it processes the IP addresses of visitors to the PIP website.

We use a third-party service, WordPress, to publish our website. The PIP website is hosted by WordPress.com, which is run by Automattic Inc. We use standard WordPress services to collect anonymous information about users’ activity on the site, for example, the number of users viewing pages on the site, to monitor and report on the effectiveness of the site and to help us improve it. For more information about how WordPress processes data, please see Automattic’s privacy policy.

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

GDPR

What is it?

GDPR or the General Data Protection Regulation is a new EU law coming into force in May 2018.

What makes it different from the old Data Protection Act 1998?

GDPR is tailored to protect an individual’s data and privacy in the digital age. It puts the
individual’s rights first and organisations that misuse, illegally share or fail to protect personal information can face fines of up to £20 million.

Access to personal information

PIP tries to be open as it can be regarding giving people access to their personal information. Individuals can find out if we hold personal information. Individuals can find out if we keep any personal information by making a ‘subject access request’ under the Data Protection Act 1998. If we do hold information about you will:

• give you a description of it
• tell you why we are holding it
• tell you who it could be disclosed to, and
• let you have a copy of the information in an intelligible form.

To make a request to PIP for any personal information we may hold you need to put the request in writing.  If you agree, we will try to deal with your request informally, for example by providing you with the specific information you need over the telephone.

If we do hold information about you, you can ask us to correct mistakes by, once again, writing to us.

What does this mean for the visitors to this website?

From October 2017, we have put in place a new Data Protection and Privacy policy which gives you much more information on how, why and where we store and use your information. From April you will be able to edit your communication preferences in great detail by logging into your online account. You can already opt-out of receiving communications using the unsubscribe option on our emails. If we collected your data from a course, event or product purchase made before the GDPR comes into force, we will contact you again to check whether you still want to receive communications from us. You have to opt-in under the new rules, we will never assume you are happy for us to contact you.

You have the right to update, request copies of, and even delete, all of the personal information we hold for you (with a couple of exceptions around invoices!). We will also be reducing the amount of historic data held. If we aren’t using it to support our work
or serve you as a customer, we will remove it from our system. We will be carrying out regular checks to ensure the security of all of systems and all of our internal data handling policies will be reviewed and updated. In short your, data will be more secure, accessible, and updatable than ever before and you have the right to control exactly how it is used.

Under the Data Protection Act 1998 and now the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have rights as an individual which you can exercise about the information we hold about you.
