Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

5. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that data from our systems.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to distinguish you from other users, improve your browsing experience, and analyse website traffic. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. For detailed information about the cookies we use and how to manage your cookie preferences, please see our separate Cookie Policy.

By default, we only use strictly necessary cookies that are essential for the functioning of our website. All other cookies (analytics, functional, advertising) are only activated after you provide your consent via our cookie banner. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website.

7. How We Share Your Personal Data

We may share your personal data with the following categories of third parties for the purposes described in this policy:

• Service providers: IT and system administration providers, hosting providers, payment processors, email delivery services, analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics), and customer support platforms.
• Professional advisers: Lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance, and accounting services.
• Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: HM Revenue & Customs, the Information Commissioner's Office, police, and other authorities where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
• Business transferees: If we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or assets, we may disclose your personal data to the prospective or actual buyer or merger partner.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

8. International Data Transfers

We are based in the United Kingdom. Some of our third-party service providers (such as cloud hosting providers and analytics platforms) may be located outside the UK. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure that it is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as:

• Transferring to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the UK Secretary of State (adequacy regulations).
• Using specific contracts approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum) which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.
• Implementing Binding Corporate Rules or other legally binding instruments.

You can obtain a copy of the relevant safeguards by contacting us at privacy@britishsuccessagain.info.

9. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest using SSL/TLS protocols.
• Regular security testing and vulnerability assessments.
• Access controls and authentication procedures for our personnel.
• Secure data backup and disaster recovery plans.

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

10. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it, and applicable legal requirements.

By law, we must keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax and accounting purposes. In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

11. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

1. Right to be informed: You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent, and easily understandable information about how we use your personal data. This is why we have provided this Privacy Policy.
2. Right of access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you (known as a "subject access request") and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
3. Right to rectification: You have the right to have any incomplete or inaccurate personal data we hold about you corrected.
4. Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): You have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing.
5. Right to restrict processing: You have the right to "block" or suppress further processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the data or where you have objected to us processing the data.
6. Right to data portability: You have the right to request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
7. Right to object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and you believe it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object to direct marketing.
8. Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@britishsuccessagain.info. We will respond to your request within one month, unless the request is complex or you have made multiple requests, in which case we may extend the response period by a further two months. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

12. Marketing Communications

We may send you marketing communications about our products, services, and news that we think may interest you. We will only send you marketing communications if you have given us your consent (e.g., by ticking a box on our registration form) or, in limited circumstances, where we have a legitimate interest to do so.

You can opt out of receiving marketing emails from us at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any marketing email or by contacting us. Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send you service-related communications (e.g., order confirmations, password reset emails, or legal notices) where necessary.

13. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We keep this Privacy Policy under regular review and may update it from time to time. When we make changes, we will post the updated version on this page and update the "Last updated" date at the top. If the changes are significant, we may provide a more prominent notice (such as a pop-up notice on our website or an email notification). Please check this page periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your personal data.

• Address: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
