We care about providing you with tools and information to manage and protect your on-line privacy. We have developed this privacy policy to inform you about what information this web site collects, who may receive that information, what we may do with the information, and how long we keep it. Where we manage personal data, we identify as a Data Controller and recognise and act on our obligations under applicable data protection laws. While we have made every attempt to make this policy as clear as possible, if you have any further questions about it, feel free to contact us at privacy@firstimpressionsdisco.co.uk

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and is designed to harmonise data privacy laws across Europe, as well as to protect and empower all EU citizens data privacy and to reshape the way organisations across the region approach data privacy. The aim of the GDPR is to protect all EU citizens from privacy and data breaches in an increasingly data-driven world that is vastly different from when the 1995 directive was established.

We will not give out any personal data you submit at our site to any third parties except in compliance with a request under UK Law. Under no circumstances will your name, e-mail, phone number or address be sold to, or given to any other parties. We will never wilfully sell, lease, or rent any of your or your business personally identifiable data to any third party.

Per the GDPR, personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual; meaning, information that could be used, on its own or in conjunction with other data, to identify an individual. This definition has an extremely broad reach. Personal data includes not only data that is commonly considered to be the 6 main personal in nature (e.g., NI numbers, names, physical addresses, email addresses), but also data such as IP addresses, behavioural data, location data, bio-metric data, financial information, and much more.

Information that you provide to us is retained and processed in accordance with UK legislation. Your personal data is collected through our contact form which will gather your name, email, phone number (if you supply it) and your message. This website currently has no applications or programs that gather information from your computer without your consent. Users are required to give us contact information (e.g., your name and email address) and possibly demographic information (e.g., your post code). Certain information, such as your email address, is collected in order to verify your identity and for use in our records. Information collected at this website is kept in our records only as long as is necessary to provide requested services to you, take bookings and respond to your requirements. All contact form submissions are automatically deleted from the server after 30 days unless we require the information longer in respect of supplying our services to you. First Impressions Discos do not receive personal bank details or hold identifying information on an individual’s banking transactions. Bank details may only be requested from clients in order to process any refunds. ALL data is held as being legitimate to our business requirements and interests.

Your personal information may be placed onto booking forms and/or contracts to allow us to carry out our legitimate business. These forms will only be retained for the required legal period (currently 5 years) so as to meet any and all legal obligations. Such documents if paper shall be kept secure and when disposed of shredded to make sure that data is properly destroyed. If such documents are of the electronic type they shall be securely deleted at the appropriate time.
