​

This policy describes our privacy practices regarding the collection and use of data made available to us through this website www.in-styleconsulting.com.

​

WHO WE ARE

In-Style Consulting is an accredited Personal Styling and Image Consultancy company based in Cambridgeshire, UK.  We offer bespoke services to people who are looking to update their personal style and overall image.

 

HOW WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The processing of information (your “personal data”), such as the name, e-mailaddress, postal address, date of birth, bank details and/or credit card information relating to an identified or identifiable person (“data subject”)shall always be in line with the General Data Protection

Regulations (GDPR). By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled. In-Style Consulting complies with its obligations under the GDPR by keeping personal data up to date; by storing and destroying it securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.  In-Style Consulting collects details provided by you when you join our monthly newsletter mailing list, sign up for an enquiry call, or become a client (our “Services”). We may also collect additional personally identifiable information through your participation in any promotions and competitions offered by us.

​

REASONS/PURPOSES FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION

We use the personal information we collect to enable us to:

• Schedule calls and appointments

• Promote and provide our services

• To maintain our own accounts and records

• Verify your identity and the information you provide

• Improve our Services and customer experience and inform you about our services and updates

• Provide you with information that may affect your use of our services

• Communicate marketing and promotional offers to you

 

We may also use your personal data to communicate with you in the event of a change in our business practices, or our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. We may also use your personal data to send you information, exclusive offers and promotions.

Whenever you use a website or other internet service, a series of general data and information gets created and logged automatically. The same is true when you use the in-style consulting website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Some of the types of information we may collect are:

• the browser types and versions used

• the operating system used by the accessing system

• the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers)

• the date and time of access to the Internet site

• an Internet protocol address (IP address)

• the Internet service provider of the accessing system

• any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems

​

When collecting this general data and information, the in-style consulting website does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to:

• deliver the content of our website correctly

• optimise the content of our website as well as its advertisement

• ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology

• provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.

​

The in-style consulting website analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of the in-style consulting website, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. Whether we collect some or all of this information often depends on what type of device you’re using and its settings. For example, different types of information are available depending on whether you’re using a Mac or a PC, or an iPhone or Android phone.

 

We sometimes need to share the personal information we process with other organisations. This is always done in compliance with all aspects of the GDPR. Therefore, we may share, and you hereby consent to our sharing of, personal information with service providers who assist in the delivery of our Services we provide to you, the enforcement of our terms and conditions, and the promotion of trust and safety.

We will never sell or rent your personal information to a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body (“third party”).

If you access these sites by using the links provided, the operators of these sites may collect information from you, which will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policy.

The security of your personally identifiable information is a priority to us. Unfortunately, no security system, or system of transmitting data over the internet, can be guaranteed to be 100 per cent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee the security of our servers, the means by which information is transmitted between your computer and our servers, or any information provided to us or to any third party through or in connection with the in-style consulting site. You provide all such information at your own risk.
