If you are not happy with any aspect of how your data is collected and used, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). Alison Hadley would be grateful if you would contact Alison Hadley first if you do have a complaint so that this can try to be resolved for you.
It is very important that the information held about you is accurate and up to date. Please email ali@alisonhadley.co.uk if at any time your personal information changes.
2. What data is collected about you
Personal data means any information capable of identifying an individual. It does not include anonymised data.
Alison Hadley may process certain types of personal data about you as follows:
- Identity Data may include your first name, maiden name, last name, username, marital status, title, date of birth and gender.
- Contact Data may include your billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers.
- Financial Data may include your bank account and payment card details.

- Usage Data may include information about how you use our website, products and services.
- Marketing and Communications Data may include your preferences in receiving marketing communications from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.
Aggregated Data
Aggregated Data from your personal data may also be processed but this data does not reveal your identity and as such in itself is not personal data. An example of this is where your Usage Data is reviewed to work out the percentage of website users using a specific feature of my site. If the Aggregated Data is linked with your personal data so that you can be identified from it, then it is treated as personal data.
Sensitive Data
Sensitive Data about you is not collected. Sensitive Data refers to data that includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data. I do not collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
Where Alison Hadley is required to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of the contract between us and you do not provide that data when requested, Alison Hadley may not be able to perform the contract (for example, to deliver goods or services to you). If you don’t provide the requested data, Alison Hadley may have to cancel a product or service you have ordered but if this happens, you will be notified at the time.

Alison Hadley will get your express opt-in consent before your personal data is shared with any third party for marketing purposes.
You can ask Alison Hadley or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by emailing ali@alisonhadley.co.uk.
Where you opt out of receiving marketing communications, this will not apply to personal data provided by you as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.
Change of purpose
Your personal data will only be used for the purposes for which it was collected, unless Alison Hadley reasonably considers that it is needed for use for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to find out more about how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please email ali@alisonhadley.co.uk.
If Alison Hadley needs to use your personal data for a purpose unrelated to the purpose for which the data was initially collected, you will be notified of the legal ground of processing. Your personal data may be processed without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.
5. Disclosures of your personal data
Alison Hadley may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 4 above:
- Service providers who provide IT and system administration services.
- Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
- HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities based in the United Kingdom and other relevant jurisdictions who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
- Third parties to whom we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets.
All third parties to whom we transfer your data will be required to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. Alison Hadley only allows such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with Alison Hadley’s instructions.
6. International transfers
Countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer the same levels of protection to your personal data, so European law has prohibited transfers of personal data outside of the EEA unless the transfer meets certain criteria.
Many third parties service providers are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever your personal data is transferred out of the EEA, Alison Hadley works to ensure a similar degree of security of data by looking for at least one of the following safeguards to have been implemented:
- Your personal data will only be transferred to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission; or
- Where certain service providers are used, specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission may be used which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or
- Where providers based in the United States are used, data may be transferred to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.
If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
Please email ali@alisonhadley.co.uk if you want further information on the specific mechanism used when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
7. Data security
The appropriate security measures have been put in place to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, access to your personal data is limited to employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know such data. They will only process your personal data on Alison Hadley’s instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
Procedures have been put in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and you will be notified, along with any applicable regulator of a breach, where we are legally required to do so.
8. Data retention
Your personal data will only be retained 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, Alison Hadley considers 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 those purposes can be achieved through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
By law Alison Hadley has to keep basic information about customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask for your data to be deleted: see below for further information.
In some circumstances your personal data may be anonymised (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case this information may be used indefinitely without further notice to you.
9. Your legal rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include the right to:
- Request access to your personal data.
- Request correction of your personal data.
- Request erasure of your personal data.
- Object to processing of your personal data.
