We would need to process your Personal Information for things like responding to requests and enquiries from you; or competition prizes; writing or emailing you with news and updates; or improving what we do at The After School Cookie Club online. Provided it is conducted at all times in a way that is proportionate and that respects your privacy rights.
6. How we share your Information
6.1 In certain circumstances we will share your Information with other parties. Details of those parties are set out below along with the reasons for sharing it. We will never share your data with any third party where it is not necessary to do so to provide a service to you.
a) Trusted third party service providers. In order to do what we do and provide certain services, we will share your information with trusted third party service providers, such as email marketing platforms, IT infrastructure companies and logistics providers. Such Service Providers are required under their data processing agreements with us, to handle your Personal information in accordance with applicable laws and principles related to privacy and data protection;
b) Regulatory and law enforcement agencies. As noted above, if we receive a request from a regulatory body or law enforcement agency, and if permitted under GDPR and other laws, we may disclose certain personal information to such bodies or agencies.

They are required under their contract with us to process this Personal Information securely and in accordance with all Data Protection laws.
d) New business owners. If we or our business merges with or is acquired by another business or company, we will share your personal information with the new owners of the business or company and their advisors. If this happens, you will be sent notice of such event.
7. How long we hold your Information
7.1 We will retain your Personal Information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it is collected, as explained in this notice. We’ve stated above the reasons why we collect your Information so, if this is no longer relevant or necessary to continue providing you services, we will not hold your Information.
7.2 In certain circumstances, once we have deleted or anonymised your data, we may need to retain parts of it (for example, your email address), in order to comply with our obligations under GDPR or other legislation, or for fraud detection purposes.
8. Your rights relating to your Information
8.1 You have certain rights about the personal information we hold about you. Details of these rights, and how you can exercise them, are set out below. Before we can act upon any request we would need proof of Identification.
a) Right of Access. You have the right, at any time, to ask us for a copy of the Information we hold about you, and to confirm the nature of the Information and how it is used. Where we have good reason, and if the GDPR says so, we can refuse your request for a copy of your Information, or certain elements of the request. If we refuse your request or any element of it, we will always provide you with our reasons for doing so.
b) Right of Correction or Completion. If the Information we hold about you is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete, and requires updated or corrected, you have a right to fix this. You can let us know by contacting us at the address or email (hello@theafterschoolcookieclub.com).
c) Right to Erase. In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that Information we hold about you is erased e.g. if the Information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed or our processing of the Information is based on your consent and there are no other legal grounds on which we may process the Information.
d) Right to Object to or Restrict Processing. In certain circumstances, you have the right to object to our processing of your Information by contacting us at the address or email address set out above. For example, if we are processing your Information on the basis of our legitimate interests and there are no compelling legitimate grounds for our processing which override your rights and interests. You also have the right to object to use of your Information for direct marketing purposes. You may also have the right to restrict our use of your Information, such as in situations where you’ve challenged the accuracy of the Information and as we are verifying its accuracy.
e) Right of Data Portability. In certain instances, you have a right to receive any Information that we hold about you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You can ask us to send that Information to you or directly to a third party organisation.
This right exists in respect of Information that: you have provided to us previously; and is processed by us using automated means.
While we are happy for such requests to be made, we are not able to guarantee technical compatibility with a third party organisation's systems. We are also unable to comply with requests that relate to Information of others without their consent.
8.2 You can exercise any of the above rights by contacting us at the address or email address set out above. You can exercise your rights free of charge.
8.3 Most of the above rights are subject to limitations and exceptions. We will provide reasons if we are unable to comply with any request for the exercise of your rights.
9. How we protect and store your information
9.1 We take the security of the information we collect seriously. We have implemented and we maintain technical and organisational security measures, policies and procedures intended to reduce risk of accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorised disclosure or access.
