We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

This Policy explains when and why we collect personal information about people who visit our website, how we use it, the conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.

We may change this Policy from time to time so please check this page occasionally to ensure that you’re happy with any changes. By using our website, you’re agreeing to be bound by this Policy.

Any questions regarding this Policy and our privacy practices should be sent by email to hello@holdinglittleacorns.co.uk.

How is your information used?

We may use your information to:

Carry out obligations arising from any contracts entered into;

We review retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us.

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.

Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.

How you can access and update your information

The accuracy of your information is important to us. If you change email address, or any of the other information we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please email us at: hello@holdinglittleacorns.co.uk.

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 will make ourbest effort to ensure its security on my systems.

Use of ‘cookies’

Like many other websites, this website uses cookies. ‘Cookies’ are small pieces of information sent by an organisation to your computer and stored on your hard drive to allow that website to recognise you when you visit. They collect statistical data about your browsing actions and patterns and do not identify you as an individual.

It is possible to switch off cookies by setting your browser preferences. For more information on how to switch off cookies on your computer, we suggest consulting the Help section of your browser or taking a look at the About Cookies website which offers guidance for all modern browsers. Turning cookies off may result in a loss of functionality when using our website.

Links to other websites

This website may contain links to other websites run by other organisations. This privacy policy applies only to this website‚ so we encourage you to read the privacy statements on the other websites you visit. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other sites even if you access them using links from our website.

In addition, if you linked to this website from a third party site, we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners and operators of that third party site and recommend that you check the policy of that third party site.

16 or Under

We are concerned to protect the privacy of children aged 16 or under. If you are aged 16 or under‚ please get your parent/guardian’s permission beforehand whenever you provide me with personal information.

Transferring your information outside of Europe

Countries outside of the United Kingdom or European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer the same levels of protection to your personal data as you enjoy here, so Data Protection Law generally restricts the transfer of personal data outside the UK (and EU/EEA) unless the destination country’s own laws protect personal data to standards approved under UK/EU law or there are other appropriate safeguards in place to protect such data.

Your personal data will usually only be processed by us in the UK. If, in exceptional circumstances, we do send your personal data outside the UK or EEA, this will only be done with your consent or if there’s an applicable legal exemption. Otherwise, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that any personal data we send overseas is duly protected in accordance with Data Protection Law.
