Are you under 18?
If you are under 18, please ensure that you obtain your parent/guardian’s consent beforehand whenever you provide personal information to the website. If you don’t have that consent, you must not provide personal information to us.
What information do we collect directly from you?
When you join our mailing list, purchase tickets online or book onto a workshop directly with Smoking Apples, we need to collect information from you in order to provide the service you are requesting. There are occasions where you can choose to not provide us with the information we require, but this will then impact the service we are able to provide.
We will use your information for the purposes listed below either on the basis of:
- performance of your contract with us and the provision of our services to you;
- your consent (where we request it);
- where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation; or
- our legitimate interests (see below for further information).
Legitimate interests
Where we refer to using your information on the basis of our “legitimate interests”, we mean our legitimate business interests in conducting and managing our business and our relationship with you, including the legitimate interest we have in:
- personalising, enhancing, modifying or otherwise improving the services and/or communications that we provide to you;
- detecting and preventing fraud and operating a safe and lawful business;
- improving security and optimisation of our network, sites and services; and
- providing you with customer service.
Where we use your information for our legitimate interests, we make sure that we take into account any potential impact that such use may have on you. Our legitimate interests don’t automatically override yours and we won’t use your information if we believe your interests should override ours unless we have other grounds to do so (such as your consent or a legal obligation).
How long do we keep your data?
We will keep your information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice and to fulfil our legal obligations. We will not keep more information than we need.
If you ask us to stop sending direct marketing communications to you, we will retain the information required (e.g. name, address or email address) to ensure we adhere with such requests.
