ABC Creative Music Privacy Policy 23/5/2018

At ABC Creative Music we have never, and will never, buy or sell email addresses or personal data and the only email addresses we hold are those actively provided by schools and teachers signing up for trial courses or full subscriptions for our services. We have always, and will continue to, take child protection very seriously when dealing with storing or processing childrens' names for assesssment data, and any use of videos or photos containing children. We welcome the new legislation in the General Data Protection Regulation and see it as a way of refreshing and improving how we protect your privacy whilst continuing to inform you of, and provide our services.

Remember you can always manage your email marketing preferences at any time using the unsubscribe link in every email we send to you.

Our Privacy Promise To You

We promise:

To keep your data safe and private.
Not to sell your data.
To give you ways to manage and review your marketing choices at any time.

Please read the following to learn more about how we collect, store, use and disclose information about you when you interact with us, in any manner, via our website and/or our services.

HOW THE LAW PROTECTS YOU

As well as our Privacy Promise, the law protects your right to privacy – this section explains how that works. Data Protection law says that we are allowed to use personal information only if we have a proper reason to do so. This includes sharing it outside ABC Creative Music. The law says we must have one or more of these reasons:

To fulfil a contract we have with you, or
When it is our legal duty, or
When it is in our legitimate interest, or
When you consent to it.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. But even then, it must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you. If we rely on our legitimate interest, we will tell you what that is.

LEGITIMATE INTERESTS

“Legitimate Interests” mean the interests of our companies in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/products and the best and most secure experience. For example, we have an interest in making sure our marketing is relevant for you, so we may process your information to send you marketing that is tailored to your interests. It can also apply to processing that is in your interests as well. For example, we may process your information to protect you against fraud when transacting on our website, and to ensure our websites and systems are secure.

When we process your personal information for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws.

If you have any concerns you have the right to object to processing that is based on our legitimate interests.

IS PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT ME SECURE?
