We only share information that allows them to provide their services to us or to facilitate them providing their services to you.

Other organisations and individuals:

We DO NOT sell or share your personal data with any other third-party organisation, business or individual, except under the following circumstances:

If required to by law, under any code of practice by which we are bound or we are asked to do so by a public or regulatory authority such as the Police or the Department for Work and Pensions.

If we need to do so in order to exercise or protect our legal rights, users, systems and services.

How we keep your personal information safe

We are committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of the information that you provide to us and we put in place appropriate technical, physical and organisational security measures to protect against any unauthorised access or damage to, or disclosure or loss of, your information.

You should also be aware that communications over the internet, such as emails, are not secure unless they have been encrypted. Our websites may contain links to other third party websites. These other websites will be subject to their own privacy policies which may differ from this Privacy Policy. You should carefully read the privacy policies of these websites before submitting any personal information.

How long we keep your personal information

We will retain and process a record of your personal information for as long as is needed to provide the products and services you are using. We will always retain your personal information in accordance with law and regulation and never retain your information for longer than is necessary.

Your personal information will be erased when it is no longer necessary to hold it for our legitimate interest, with minimum information retained such as name and address and marketing preferences to ensure personal information is not included in future marketing campaigns.

Keeping you informed about our products and services

From time to time, we would like to tell you about the great offers, ideas, products and services available from Stutz Studio that we think you might be interested in. Where you have consented to us doing so, we may do this through the post, by email, text message, online, using social media, push notifications via apps, or by any other electronic means.

We won't send you marketing messages if you tell us not to but we will still need to send you occasional service-related messages. If you wish to amend your marketing preferences, you can do so by email: [email protected]

For email marketing campaigns you will always be able to instantly unsubscribe from such messages using the link provided within the email.

How to keep your personal information up-to-date

It’s important for both you and us that your personal information is correct. If you believe this is not the case and you wish to update your details which are registered on this website, then you can do so by email: [email protected]

How you can find out about the information we hold about you

You have the right to access the personal information that we hold about you in many circumstances. This is sometimes called a ‘Subject Access Request’. If we agree that we are obliged to provide personal information to you (or someone else on your behalf), we will provide it to you or them free of charge.

Before providing personal information to you or another person on your behalf, we may ask for proof of identity and sufficient information about your interactions with us that we can locate your personal information.

If any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or out of date, you may ask us to correct it.

If you would like to exercise these rights, please contact us as set out below in the ‘Contact us’ section.

Asking us to remove or limit our processing of your personal information

You have the right to object to us processing your personal information if we are not entitled to use it any more, to have your information deleted if we are keeping it too long or have its processing restricted in certain circumstances.

If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us as set out below.

Our legal basis for processing your personal information

Much of our processing will be under the basis of “contractual obligation” in other words we need and use your personal information for providing the services you have contracted with us to provide.

However when we are communicating with you regarding products and services you may be interested in receiving from us in the future our basis for processing is of "legitimate interest". For email marketing campaigns you will always be able to instantly unsubscribe from such messages using the link provided within the email.

Sharing your thoughts

When using one of our websites or mobile applications, you may be able to share information through social networks like Facebook and Twitter. For example when you ‘like’, ‘share’ or review our products or services. When doing this your personal information may be visible to the providers of those social networks, their other users, Stutz Studio and your friends or followers. Please remember it is your responsibility to set appropriate privacy settings on your social network accounts so you are comfortable with how your information is used and shared on them.
