Please read the policy carefully as by providing your personal data to 7LP, you will be deemed to have consented to the processing of such data.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Keeping personal data helps us keep in contact with our customers, to fulfil courses and workshops that have been bought and to arrange the picking up of work made. We also use it to inform past customers and prospective customers of the services we’re offering. In some cases we look at the statistics provided to us by Google Analytics and Stripe to help us build a better understanding of our customers to develop our service for the better. We will keep data from people currently enrolled on courses, people enrolled in the past and from any person enquiring about our courses.
Information is collected under the following circumstances:
- Booking courses/workshops online, in person or over the phone.
- Subscribing to the 7LP mailing list.
- Through personal contact with a staff member.
- From publicly available sources (such as if you interact with us on social media).
When you enroll on a course/workshop, we may add your email to our mailing list as this is how we sometimes keep in contact with customers about future courses and events instead of emailing them each directly. We have legitimate interests for this until you let us know you’re not interested in our services anymore. You will be offered the opportunity to opt-out every time we communicate in this way.
Under the terms of the GDPR the lawful bases for processing personal information are:
- we need it to fulfil a contract (e.g. a course/workshop booking);
- we need it to pursue our legitimate interests including by communicating with current and potential custom; and/or;
- you have given your consent for us to do so.
