The information collected
In running and maintaining our business, we may collect and process the following data about you:
Information provided by you, for example, personal details when you register for information, enter a competition or make a purchase.
We only collect basic personal data about you which does not include any special types of information or location based information.
Why we need it
We need to know your personal data so that we can provide you with the products you have requested. We will not collect any data that we do not need in order to provide and oversee this request.
What we do with it
As part of the registration process for our mailing list we collect personal information.
We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about stuff you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied.
We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.
We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing us directly at info@ourplayground.co.uk.
