Privacy and Cookies Policy

 

5.1 This privacy policy details the policies and procedures of LGT, company incorporated in England, (“London Grand Tournament,” “LGT,” “London GT,” “our,” “us", or “we“) regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information that we receive or collect from our attendees as a Data Controller.

 

5.2 LGT is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We take the privacy of all of our customers and site users (you) very seriously and take great care to protect your personal information.

 

5.3 Please read the following policy carefully to understand what personal information we may collect from you, how we may use it, and your rights in respect of our use. By using this website, you accept the terms of this Privacy and Cookies Policy.

 

5.4 We have re-written our privacy policy in order to ensure we follow best practice in protecting your privacy and comply with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Here you can find out about what data we collect, what we do with it and what you can ask us to do with your data.

5.5 What have we changed because of GDPR?

We have re-written this privacy policy in order to explain things better. We have also implemented better ways for our users to request their data or request that we delete data.

We have deleted historic user data and website submissions that we no longer require.

We have always taken privacy and data security seriously. We use a reputable hosting service called WIX to protect users against server-level data breaches and we have been using default encrypted SSL certificated https connections for several years to protect user privacy.

5.2 Who are we?

LGT is a Limited Company owned entirely by Zachary Becker. Zachary can be contacted at info@london40kgrandtournament.co.uk

 

5.3 Who is the data controller?

The data controller is Zachary Becker. Employees, contractors and volunteers such as tournament organisers are trained in GDPR compliance if they have access to user data. 

Contractors, volunteers and LGT’s accountant, have agreed to comply with GDPR requirements. Authors and contributors to the site do not have access to user data.

5.4 Who are our data processors?

We use a number of services to handle and process user data. These are considered data processors:

– Mailchimp, a reputable email list provider service we use to manage most of our outgoing emails. Mailchimp stores and processes your email address, email preferences and name if you provide it (you do not have to).

– Google, specifically GSuite. We use Google to manage the day to day operations of the buisiness. 

– Stripe, a leading payment gateway which processes payment information. We never see or store full credit card information. We use Stripe mainly for membership subscription payments.

– Paypal, another leading payment gateway. We see no payment or credit card information at all from Paypal. We use Paypal mainly for ebook sales and processing legal services sales for Seraphus Solicitors.

 

5.5 What data do we collect and why?

We collect data differently depending on how you interact with our website.

Like most website operators, we collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use our website so that we can better meet user needs and expectations. 

We regularly look at internal reports on what people are reading on our website so we know what is popular, where people find out about our website (known as the referral source) and how people then use the website once they arrive.

If you interact with our website and services further we will collect more information from you, but only with your consent.

Email subscribers

From our analytics reports we know that email is our main form of communication with our regular readers. We know that a lot of people open and click on our emails compared to industry averages. At the time of writing in November 2018 the open rate for our weekly newsletter was around 70% and the click rate around 5 to 10%.

We store your email address and also track which of our emails you open and what links you click in our emails. The data is securely stored on our behalf by Mailchimp but we occasionally take back ups of data and store these locally (see below).

 

Payment

We collect and store the information you provide when you sign up as a paying member including name, username, email address, and address. This does not include the details of the credit or debit card you use. We need to store your payment details for a period of seven years to comply with tax requirements.

5.6 How do we store your data?

We store your personal data in two ways:

  • Firstly, on our website servers. These are secure servers and your data is send to us securely via SSL encryption

  • Secondly, we store some backups of data such as customer and email subscriber lists locally on personal computers. These computers are encrypted and password protected to prevent data theft if the computers themselves were stolen.

 

We delete local backups when they are replaced by a newer version.

 

5.7 How you can request a copy of your data

You can email us at info@london40kgrandtournament.co.uk to request a copy of your personal data.

5.8 How you can request that we delete your data

You can email us at info@london40kgrandtournament.co.uk to request data deletion. We will delete as much of your data as we are permitted to: if you are a paying customer we cannot delete all of your personal data for a period of seven years because we are obliged by law to retain payment information for that period for tax purposes.

 

5.9 Privacy Policy Changes

We may change this policy by posting a new version of this policy on this Website. When we do change the policy, we will also revise the “effective” date at the top of this page and may notify you of any material changes or post a message on the Website.

Your continued use of this Website following such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
