Welcome to the Baythorne Hall website. We hope that you enjoy using our site. On this page you can browse our privacy policy, get information on how we collect and use cookies, and read more about the terms and conditions of using this site.

 

Throughout this page, the terms “Baythorne Hall”, or “us” or “we” refers to the owner of the website. The term “you” refers to the user or viewer of our website.

Privacy and security
Respecting your privacy and ensuring the confidentiality of your personal information is critical to us. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, safeguard and use your data, and is designed to ensure that we interact with you in accordance with your wishes and in line with current data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation of May 2018.

 

Please note that this statement does not extend to websites that are linked to this website. You should refer to the privacy policies of any such websites for further details about their use of your personal information.

 

What do we mean by “personal information?”
For us, “personal information” means information which identifies you, like your name or email address. Any information that does not identify you is “non-personal information.”

 

If we store your personal information with information that is non-personal, we will consider the combination as personal information. If we remove all personal information from a set of data then the remaining data will be classed as non-personal information.

 

General Use Of Your Information
When does Baythorne Hall receive your personal information?
We collect personal information about you when you provide it to us. We only collect personal data relevant to the type of interaction you have with Baythorne Hall.

 

For example, when you contact Baythorne Hall to sign up to any of Baythorne Hall’s online content, such as newsletters or competitions, or you telephone, email or write to Baythorne Hall, we may receive and retain personal information about you.

 

If you engage with our social media accounts, such as Twitter and Facebook, we may receive personal information about you then too. If you use these networks, their privacy policies apply, and we encourage you to read them.

The information we collect is relevant to the type of transaction you are entering into. It may include details such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone or mobile number.

 

How will Baythorne Hall use your personal data?
Baythorne Hall will use the details that you supply during the sign up process for marketing purposes, if you have given us permission to do so.

​

We will also use your personal information for administrative reasons, such as to answer your correspondence, keep your records up to date or to implement your instructions (for example, to ensure you no longer receive marketing information if you tell us to stop sending it to you).

 

We will use your personal information for the following purposes:

 

For administrative reasons, including:

• “service administration”, which means that Baythorne Hall may contact you for reasons related to the completion of commercial or other transactions you have entered into with us, or online content you have signed up for;

• in relation to correspondence you have entered into with us whether by letter, email, social media or any other means, and to contact you about any content you provide;

• for internal record keeping so as to keep a record of your relationship with us;

• to implement any instructions you give us to with regard to withdrawing consent to send marketing information;

• to use IP addresses to identify the location of users, which allows us to block disruptive use and to establish the number of visits from different countries;

• to analyse and improve the activities and content offered by the Baythorne Hall website to provide you with the most user-friendly navigation experience. We may also use and disclose information in aggregate (so that no individuals are identified) for marketing and strategic development purposes.

 

If you have given us permission to do so, we may also use your contact details to provide you with information regarding our products and services. We will not do this unless you have given us additional, specific consent to use your data for this purpose.

 

We may make use of some third party service providers who may require access to some data - however, we will always share only that information which is necessary for them to have, and will not authorise the use of your data for their marketing purposes. You can find out more about this below.

 

We may also be legally required to share data with third parties - for example, in the course of a fraud investigation or where a court order is in place.

 

When are we legally required to share your information?
We may be legally required to share data with law enforcement bodies if it is required for their investigations. We will act in compliance with UK and international legislation on these occasions.

 

How do we use personal information collected prior to May 2018?
The way that we collect your consent to send you marketing information has changed since the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force. If you sent us an enquiry, registered an online account or made an online purchase before May 2018, we asked you whether you were happy to receive marketing communication at that time. Unless you opted out from receiving such communication at that point, we will have registered you as being happy to receive these materials.

 

UK legislation includes an exception known as the ‘soft opt-in’. This allows organisations to send marketing communications by email to individuals who have previously purchased similar goods and services, provided they were given the opportunity to opt out at the time of purchase. In Baythorne Hall’s case, this allows us to send marketing emails to those who have previously enquired about our products or services, created an online account or purchased products online as long as they did not opt out from receiving these emails at the time. We apply a 24-month time limit to this consent, and stop sending emails once this time period has elapsed. We will not use the “soft opt in” option if you have opted out of receiving email, either at the time of signing up or by subsequently unsubscribing from our mailing list.

 

If you are receiving marketing communications as a result of the soft opt-in being applied and would like to change this, you can click on the ‘unsubscribe’ link which is included in all of our marketing emails, or you can contact us directly by post, phone or email. See below for our contact details.

 

Is your personal information shared with third parties?
We may pass your information to our third party service providers, agents subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to process payments, provide delivery service or complete work not undertaken directly by Baythorne Hall).

 

Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf
When we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we request that they keep all information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes (unless requested by yourself).

Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties outside of Baythorne Hall for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.

Other relevant parties
Our website is hosted by Wix, and our email services are provided by Microsoft Outlook. Our data may be processed on our behalf by Wix, meaning that they will organise our data into a form that is usable to us. However, Baythorne Hall retains control of and legal responsibility for this information.

​

How do we keep your data secure?
We take all necessary steps to ensure any information you provide to us online is safe, secure and managed correctly. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure of this data we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures.

​

The information you provide to us over the internet via this website is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

​

Any personal information stored on our servers is not publicly accessible. The data is secured and can only be accessed by authorised Baythorne Hall staff on a “need to know” basis.

​

How long will Baythorne Hall keep your personal information?
We will only hold your personal information on our systems for as long as we need to. Once your data is no longer required, or if you request that we do so, we will delete your information from our database.

​

We will treat any consent you give us to share marketing materials with you as lasting for 24 months. After 24 months has elapsed from the date upon which you granted consent, if you have not interacted with us, we will either ask you to re-grant us permission to contact you, or will remove your details from our database.

​

If you request that we stop sending you marketing materials we will keep a record of your contact details and appropriate information to enable us to comply with your request not to be contacted by us (this allows us to specifically exclude your data when we generate mailing lists or undertake other marketing activity).

​

How can you control what we send you or request we update your personal information?
The accuracy of your information is really important to us. We want to ensure that we are able to communicate with you in ways that you are happy with, and to provide you with information that is of interest. You can tell us that your details have changed or change the way that we communicate with you in a number of ways.

​

If you wish to change how we communicate with you, or update the information we hold, then please contact our DPO (Data Protection Officer) George Unwin:

If you have an online account, you can adjust your marketing consents and preferences by logging into your account, going to ‘My account’ and selecting ‘No thank you’ under the section headed ‘Contact preferences’.

 

How long will it take for these changes to be effective?
When you request that we stop sending you marketing information, we aim to update our records within the following timescales:

Information sent to you via email - 24 hours (next working day) from receipt of email 
Telephone calls - 24 hours (next working day) from receipt of request to opt out of receiving calls 
Information sent to you by mail - 28 days from receipt of 'do not mail' request. This period is longer than for other channels due to the production times for mailing campaigns, and in most cases we would expect the change to be effective much more quickly.

You have the legal right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected.

​

What rights do you have regarding your data and how we use it?

​

Withdraw their consent at any time. Users have the right to withdraw consent where they have previously given their consent to the processing of their Personal Data.

Object to processing of their Data. Users have the right to object to the processing of their Data if the processing is carried out on a legal basis other than consent. Further details are provided in the dedicated section below.

Access their Data. Users have the right to learn if Data is being processed by the Owner, obtain disclosure regarding certain aspects of the processing and obtain a copy of the Data undergoing processing.

Verify and seek rectification. Users have the right to verify the accuracy of their Data and ask for it to be updated or corrected.

Restrict the processing of their Data. Users have the right, under certain circumstances, to restrict the processing of their Data. In this case, the Owner will not process their Data for any purpose other than storing it.

Have their Personal Data deleted or otherwise removed. Users have the right, under certain circumstances, to obtain the erasure of their Data from the Owner.

Receive their Data and have it transferred to another controller. Users have the right to receive their Data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format and, if technically feasible, to have it transmitted to another controller without any hindrance.

Details about the right to object to processing
Where Personal Data is processed for a public interest, in the exercise of an official authority vested in the Owner or for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner, Users may object to such processing by providing a ground related to their particular situation to justify the objection.

​

Users must know that, however, should their Personal Data be processed for direct marketing purposes, they can object to that processing at any time without providing any justification. To learn, whether the Owner is processing Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, Users may refer to the relevant sections of this document.
