To give you the best possible experience we need to gather data. We want to be transparent about why we need the personal details we request when you engage with us and how we will use them.
We will protect the privacy and security of your personal information and will always take all reasonable steps within our power to keep your information safe.
Please read this policy carefully, along with our Terms and Conditions and any other documents referred to within this notice to understand how we collect, why we use, and how we store your personal information.
By providing us with your personal information, you consent to the collection and use of any information you provide in accordance with this privacy policy.
Data protection principles
We comply with the principles of data protection law. This says that the personal information we hold about you must be:
- Used lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way.
- Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.
- Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.
- Accurate and kept up to date.
- Kept only as long as necessary for the purposes we have told you about.
- Kept securely.
For the purpose of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) the data controller is Your Spanish Dreams of 1 Egerton House, Chester Road, Kelsall, Cheshire, CW6 0RR.
Your use of our services and this site are also governed by those of Kajabi, LLC, a California limited liability company. Please also review the Kajabi® website Terms of Use at https://newkajabi.com/policies/terms/ and Privacy Policy which also govern use of this Site.
What personal data we may collect about you
Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). There are "special categories" of more sensitive personal data which require a higher level of protection.
We collect information every time you interact with us. The information we may collect from these interactions may include, but is not limited to:
- Information you give to us
- By filling in forms on our site (www.yourspanishdreams.com)
- By opting in our social media channels (Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn)
- By corresponding with us by phone, email, in person or otherwise
- By subscribing to our service
- By purchasing on our site
- By responding to one of our mailings
- The information we collect may include: Your name, address, email address, telephone number, payment information, login information (customers)
- The information we collect may include: Your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version details, time zone settings, browser plug-in types and version, your operating system and platform, the pages you visit, for how long and the actions you perform, page response times, your browser cookies (see how we use cookies)
Use of Information
As a general policy, no personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, is automatically collected from your visit to the Site. However, certain non-personal information is recorded by the standard operation of the Company’s internet servers. Information such as the type of browser being used, its operating system, and your IP address is gathered in order to enhance your online experience.
The Site’s various mailing lists, downloads, special offers, contests, registration forms, and surveys may request that you give us contact information such as your name, mailing and/or e-mail address, demographic information such as your age and gender, and personal preference information such as your preferred software and interests. Information submitted at the time of submission will be used by the Company only as necessary for our legitimate business interests, including without limitation the improvement of our products, services and the contents of the Site.
Legal basis we rely on to collect information
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), there are different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:
- To fulfil a service: We use your information to execute contracts or services that you have entered into. This includes communications relating to your purchase or payments, for example.
- When you consent: We may use your personal information and order history to tell you about relevant products, events, competitions and news. For example, when you sign up to a newsletter or tell us you want to hear from us by completing your preferences. You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages by contacting us at any time. If you change your mind you can update your choices at any time by logging into your account or contacting us.
- If we have legitimate interest: The GDPR defines legitimate interest as a reasonable business or commercial interest for processing your personal information. For example, sending a direct mail when a product or service you previously showed interest may be on offer or to improve the service we provide.
Who we share your information with
Sometimes we may share your data with trusted third parties for the legal bases defined above (service, consent and legitimate interest).
An additional basis of ‘legal compliance’ applies here. We have a duty to pass on information to law enforcement agencies, if we become aware of people involved in fraud, non-payment or other criminal activity.
According to the uses for your personal information, we may disclose your personal information to recipients who help us promote or who support our services or our users’ services (“service providers”).
All service providers enter into a contract with Your Spanish Dreams protecting personal information and restricting the use of any personal information pursuant to this policy.
