Changes to our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change the contents of our Website. Any changes we may make to our Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on this page. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with this Privacy Policy regularly. Your continued use of our Website following the posting of any such changes will constitute your acceptance of the revised policy.

Your rights

Data protection law gives you rights to help you understand and control how personal data about you is used. This section explains what these rights are and what Secret Trees has in place to help you exercise them.


Your rights are….

…to be informed about our processing
You have the right to have a clear explanation of the processing of your personal data provided to you – we hope that’s what we have achieved with this privacy policy!

…to have access to your data and details of our processing
Exercising this right is known as “making a subject access request” and you have the right to ask us:

  • whether we are processing your personal data

  • why we are doing so

  • under what lawful basis we are processing your data

  •  the categories of personal data about you which we are processing

  • whether the data is being sent outside the EU

  • the names of any other Data Controllers your data has been passed to, and the purpose and lawful basis for the transfer

  • how long we’re going to keep the data, or what criteria we’ll use to decide whether to keep it

  • for a copy of the data we are processing.

…to object to some processing
Objecting to direct marketing
You have the right to ask us to stop processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes, and if you make this request we will stop sending you marketing and exclude your data from any analytics or reporting we do for marketing.

Objecting to processing based on legitimate interests
You can object to any processing of your personal data where that processing is based on legitimate interests. When you make an objection, we will decide on a case-by-case basis whether we should cease the processing of your personal data.

If we consider that we have compelling interests that outweigh your preferences (which might be to keep our IT systems secure, or maintain auditing and accounting records) then we will explain our reasoning to you.


…to have some data deleted
This right is sometimes referred to as “the right to be forgotten”. It only applies in narrow circumstances, where:

  • have withdrawn your consent and there is no further legitimate interest in continuing to process the data,

  • your objection to our processing under legitimate interests outweighs those interests,

  • the processing of your personal data is no longer necessary,

  • there is a law that requires the data to be deleted, or

  • the processing is unlawful (we work hard to make sure this is never the case!)

– you have the right to have your data erased from our systems and files.

Secret Trees can’t erase any data which we are required by law to process, but we will highlight and explain this to you if your request includes this data.


…to limit how your personal data is used
Under some circumstances, you can limit how your personal data is used by us if:

  • the personal data we are processing is inaccurate

  • the data is no longer necessary for the original purpose of processing but needs to be kept for potential legal claims, or

  • you have objected to processing carried out under legitimate interests and we’re still in the process of determining whether there is an overriding need to continue processing

You have the right to restrict the processing. This means that the data will only be processed:

  • with your consent,

  • for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, to protect someone else’s rights, or

  • if there is an important public interest justification for processing

…to take some of your data elsewhere
The right of data portability says that you can ask for any data that we process by automated means (which means ‘using a computer’) which

  • you provided to us either on the basis of consent or

  •  because it was necessary for a contract that you are directly a party to;

To be provided back to you in a computer-based format, or sent directly to another Data Controller. This is mostly intended for you, the individual end user or consumer, to be able to switch providers without your data being held hostage.

…to query automated decision-making
Secret Trees don’t do any automated decision-making or automated profiling, but if we did, you would have the right to ask us to explain the logic behind any such decisions and for the decision to be reviewed by a human being, if the decision had an effect on your rights or freedoms.

…to have data corrected
Rectification
If any of the data we hold on you is inaccurate or out of date, please let us know so that we can correct it as quickly as possible.
