Privacy Policy

At The Gentlewoman we are committed to respecting your privacy. This policy explains when and why we collect personal information about the people who visit our website, sign up to The Gentlewoman Club and receive our mailings, how we use this data and keep it secure.

Information
When you sign up to The Gentlewoman Club on our website to receive newsletters or invitations to Club socialities and when you RSVP to attend one of these events, we collect your data to allow us to carry out this request. This information will typically include your name, email address, age and location. You are also invited to submit additional information about yourself, but this is always completely at your discretion.

We use this information to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.

UK Data Protection laws allow the following as part of our legitimate interest in understanding our Club members and providing the most relevant levels of service:

• to contact you about events that we think might be of interest to you;

• to assess your eligibility for an event;

• to communicate with you;

• for marketing purposes; or

• to analyse your behaviour, activities, preferences and needs in order to send relevant and tailored promotional communications to you.

We will store your information either until you unsubscribe (there will always be an option to opt-out in every email we send) or if you have not opened an email from us over the past year.

Processing
We use third-party software (Campaign Monitor) to help us process your data. All this is either registered with the EU-US Privacy Shield programme or will have entered into model EU clauses with any sub-processor it uses and is based outside the EEA or has established a set of binding corporate rules with its foreign subsidiaries who are based outside the EEA or the Information Commissioner has made a positive finding of adequacy in relation to the territory in which the sub-processor is based and to which your information may be transferred.
