Using your data

Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. This may be because the data is necessary for our performance of a contract with you or because you have consented to our use of your personal data.

It is the Company's policy that you should know exactly what personal data we collect from you and how we will use it. We operate in accordance with the Jammed Bookings Limited Data Protection Policy. We collect personal data from you for the purpose of processing your order or enquiry. We may use your personal data to supply products and services to you that you have requested, carry out any agreement with you or take any steps that you have requested. In particular, we may:

  • update you as to the status of your order or booking;
  • alert you to important product revisions or updates;
  • inform you about upgrades to your purchases, bookings or Company offerings;
  • facilitate your transactions with third parties providing goods and services though our site;
  • ensure that you are properly registered to receive technical support;
  • personalise and tailor our services to you;
  • communicate with you, which may include email or phone calls;
  • analyse your use of our site and gather feedback to enable us to continually improve our site and your user experience

With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting you by email, phone call and text message with information, news, and offers on our services. You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam. We will always work to fully protect your rights and comply with our obligations under the GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, and you will always have the opportunity to opt-out and you will not be discriminated against if you choose to do so.

Where you have given us appropriate permission or where we are permitted by law, we may use your personal data for the following purposes and direct marketing ('Additional purposes'):

  • To tell you about special discounts on additional Company products and services;
  • To tell you about new Company products and services;
  • To tell you about new products from other carefully screened companies that the Company feels may be of interest to you (we carefully screen and then select such companies only when we are satisfied that their products and/or services are likely to be of interest to you).

In the event that you wish to be removed from this process you can opt out from the footer of all marketing emails or please contact our team on [email protected].

Aggregate data is general data about groups of customers and does not identify individual customers. The Company may combine your data with that of other individuals to create aggregate data that we will use to improve our products & services and develop new ones. For example, we may tell a third party how many people purchased a certain product, but not that you personally purchased a specific item.

You should also be aware that we may occasionally provide links from our website to other sites that we think will interest you. If you click on a banner advertisement or any other link, the 'click' will take you off the Company site. Once you leave the Company website, any information that you may have provided remains with us and is not forwarded to the next site to which you have linked. Personal data that you may choose to provide to a third party website linked to from the Company website will be subject to the privacy policy of the operators of the third party website. The Company is not responsible for the use or protection of personal data you disclose to a third party website operator, even if reached from the Company website.

How long will we keep your data?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

The Company may also transfer personal data to the Company-affiliated companies in other countries. These may be outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). By supplying personal data to the Company, you consent to any such transfer.

We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.

Where we use certain service providers. We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
