1. Who is responsible for your personal data
J & A Lessons, based at Elstree, Hertfordshire, is responsible for personal data collected through this website and in connection with enquiries about the online beginner dance course. The business can be contacted using [email protected] or +441395746621. The director is Jasper Hadley. VAT ID: GB 886833368.
This policy explains how personal data is handled when you browse the website, request a trial lesson, ask about the full course, or communicate with the business. It is intended to provide the information required under UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
2. Data we collect
When you submit the application form, the information provided can include your first name, email address, telephone number, whether you are interested in a trial lesson or the full course, and any message you choose to enter. If you later communicate with the business, the content of that correspondence and information necessary to deal with the request may also be processed.
Technical information may also be generated when the website is accessed, such as browser and device information, basic request logs, and security-related data. Optional analytics or marketing technologies are used only where the applicable consent requirements have been met.
3. Why we use personal data
Form information is used to respond to course enquiries, arrange the next step for a requested trial lesson, provide information connected with a possible purchase, and manage communications relating to the service. Data may also be processed where necessary to administer a contract, comply with legal obligations, maintain appropriate records, and protect the website and business from misuse or security incidents.
The lawful basis depends on the purpose. Enquiry handling before a possible purchase is generally connected with steps taken at your request before entering a contract. Contract administration is based on performance of a contract. Certain record-keeping may be required by law. Security and limited business administration may rely on legitimate interests where those interests do not override your rights. Consent is used where UK law requires it, including for relevant optional storage or access technologies.
4. How long information is kept
Personal data is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including handling the enquiry, administering a course relationship where one is formed, maintaining required business or tax records, and resolving disputes. Retention periods may therefore differ depending on whether an enquiry remains only an enquiry or becomes part of a contractual relationship.
Where consent is the basis for a particular processing activity, information connected with that consent may be retained for an appropriate period so that the business can demonstrate the choice made and respect any later withdrawal.
5. Sharing and service providers
Personal data may be made available to service providers that support website hosting, communications, security, course delivery, or business administration when this is necessary for their role. Such access should be limited to the relevant purpose and handled under appropriate contractual and data-protection safeguards.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law, a court, regulator or competent public authority, or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Personal data is not treated as a product for sale.
6. International transfers
If a service provider processes personal data outside the United Kingdom, appropriate safeguards are used where required by UK data-protection law. Depending on the destination and provider, this can include an adequacy regulation or contractual safeguards recognised under UK law.
7. Your rights
Subject to the applicable legal conditions, you may have rights to request access to personal data, correction of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction, objection to certain processing, and portability of data. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
You also have the right to raise a concern with the UK Information Commissioner's Office. The business encourages you to contact it first if you would like a privacy issue addressed directly.
8. Cookies and similar technologies
Necessary technologies may be used where required to operate the website, remember core choices, or maintain security. Optional analytics or marketing technologies are not activated where consent is legally required unless that consent has been given. More detail about categories, purposes and control is set out in the Cookie Policy.
9. Security
Reasonable organisational and technical measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration or disclosure. Access should be limited to people and providers who need the information for a legitimate business purpose.
10. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when processing activities, legal requirements or the service change. The date shown at the top indicates the current version. Material changes should be reflected in the updated notice made available on this website.
