Your rights:

We have summarised the rights that you have under data protection law. Some of the rights are complex, and not all of the details have been included in our summaries. Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these rights.

The right to access:

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information Tumble Tots (UK) Ltd hold about you (a subject access request), for which we may charge a £10 fee to cover our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.

The right to rectification:

The accuracy of your information is important to us. If you change your contact details, or any of the information we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please contact us directly.

The right to erasure:

In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal data without undue delay. Those circumstances include:

  • the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
  • you withdraw consent to consent-based processing;
  • the processing is for direct marketing purposes;
  • the personal data have been unlawfully processed.

However, there are certain general exclusions of the right to erasure. Those general exclusions include where processing is necessary:

  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation;
  • for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The right to restrict processing:

In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Those circumstances are:

  • you contest the accuracy of the personal data;
  • processing is unlawful, but you oppose erasure;
  • we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  • you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection.

Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it:

with your consent;

  • for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  • for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person;
  • for reasons of important public interest.

The right to object to processing:

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for:

  • the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us;
  • the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.

If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal data for this purpose.

However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

The right to complain to a supervisory authority:

Who has access to your information?

We will not sell or rent your information to third parties. We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Third Party Product Providers we work in association with:

We may sometimes work closely with a selected group of third party product and service providers to bring you a range of quality and reliable products and services which we believe may be relevant to your needs (e.g. days out offers, children’s educational books and toys.) Any offers from third parties, will be sent from Right Start Online and not the third party. When you enquire about or purchase one or more of these products, the relevant third-party product or service provider will use your details to provide you with information and carry out their obligations arising from any contracts you have entered into with them. In some cases, they will be acting as a data controller of your information and therefore we advise you to read their privacy policy. These third-party product providers may share your information with us, which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of a sale of some or all of our business and assets, or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation, or if we’re under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to enforce or apply our terms of use or to protect the rights, property or safety of our supporters and customers. However, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information:

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it is treated securely. Non-sensitive details (your email address, etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

Profiling:

We may analyse your personal information to create a profile of your interests and preferences so that we can contact you with information relevant to you. We may make use of additional information about you when it is available from external sources to help us do this effectively. We may also use your personal information to detect and reduce fraud and credit risk. We may need to share your information with credit reference agencies and other companies to detect and reduce fraud and credit risk and to pursue debtors.
