Privacy Policy

Who we are:
Our website address is: http://www.rbcps.co.uk

What personal data we collect and why we collect it?

Comments:
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media:
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms:
Our website contact forms send enquiries direct to our email account and are setup to not track IP addresses.

Embedded content from other websites:
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics:
Our website uses Google Analytics and is configured to NOT track IP addresses.

What information we collect when you shop:

  • Products you’ve viewed: we’ll use this to, for example, show you products you’ve recently viewed
  • Location, IP address and browser type: we’ll use this for purposes like estimating taxes and shipping
  • Shipping address: we’ll ask you to enter this so we can, for instance, estimate shipping before you place an order, and send you the order!

We’ll also use cookies to keep track of cart contents while you’re browsing our site.

Note: For further details on our cookie policy see below

When you a book a service online with us, we’ll ask you to provide information including your name, address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details (if pre-paying). We’ll use this information for purposes, such as, to:

  • Send you information about your account and your booking
  • Respond to your requests, including refunds and complaints
  • Process payments and prevent fraud
  • Set up your account for our booking system
  • Comply with any legal obligations we have, such as calculating taxes
  • Improve our site offerings
  • Send you marketing messages, if you choose to receive them

If you create an account, we will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.

We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for 2 years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.

We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.

Our access to your information:

Members of our team have access to the information you provide us. For example, both Administrators and senior customer services staff can access:

  • Order information like what was booked, when it was booked.
  • Customer information like your name, email address, and billing and shipping information.

Our team members have access to this information to help fulfill our bookings and support you.

How long we retain your data:
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data:
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data:
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
