In addition we may collect and record any other relevant information you share with us about yourself, including your interests or your affiliations with other community groups and pages that you have visited on our website.

What is the purpose of the processing that TFX does of the data it collects?

We may contact you for marketing purposes by email if you have agreed to be contacted in this manner. We will also send you service communications via email when you book a place on a class on our website, or taken out a membership. We may also use your information to analyse and improve the content and operation of our website, and where we are required by law to disclose or otherwise use your information.

If you have provided us with your postal address or telephone number, we may send you information about our work or other communications of the kinds described above by direct mail or contact you by telephone unless you have told us that you would prefer not to hear from us in this way. We provide information about how you can change your marketing preferences below.

When we process your personal data, it will only be used for the purpose for which it was collected.

Your choices

You have a choice about whether you wish to receive information from us. If you do not want to receive direct marketing communications from us about the classes, workshops and opportunities we offer families then you can select your choices by ticking the relevant boxes situated on the form on which we collect your information.

We will not contact you for marketing purposes by email or phone unless you have given your prior consent. We will not contact you for marketing purposes by post if you have indicated that you do not wish to be contacted in that way.

You can change your contact preferences at any time by:

  • emailing the Enquiries team at info@tfxperform.com
  • calling the TFX Head Office on 01463 417 337

On the occasions that you have paid for a class or a membership, we will contact you by email, phone or post with information that is relevant to that service. Examples of this may include a phone call with late changes to a course, or renewal information for your membership if required. One of the membership benefits is to receive occasional emails about the term specific discounts and special offers. Whilst you have the option to choose not to receive these emails, you will still receive information about your TFX auto reenrol because this is necessary as part of the contractual agreement you have with TFX.

To ensure that our communication with you is relevant and tailored to your interests, we may supplement what we know about you with information that is available to the public. This allows us to better understand your interests, preferences, and level of potential engagement, so that we can contact you in the most appropriate way. The information we collect and process about you from publicly-available sources may include demographic information associated with your postcode or your address and an estimate of your age. We collect this information ourselves and may use third-party service providers from time to time.

We process personal information for certain legitimate business purposes where the processing enables us to enhance, modify, personalise or otherwise improve our services / communications for the benefit of our customers.

You are not required to provide personal data to us. Please note, however, that if you choose not to share your personal information with us, this will affect our ability to provide a service you may request. For example, we are unable to process any refund you may be due if you do not provide your banking information.

Do we process sensitive personal information (special category data)? Under data protection law, certain categories of personal information are recognised as sensitive, including health information and information regarding race, religious beliefs, and political opinions (‘special category data’). In limited cases, we may collect special category data about you. We would only collect special category data if there were a clear reason for doing so, such as where we need this information to ensure that we provide appropriate support when you participate in TFX classes, or information needed to support and give understanding to the TFX teaching staff. When special category data is collected, it is held securely and is only available to the specific people that need to access that information. Those specific people may be TFX employees.

How do we protect your personal information?

We take appropriate physical, electronic and managerial measures to ensure that we keep your information secure, accurate and up to date, and that we only keep it if is reasonable and necessary to fulfil the need for which it was collected. As noted above, due to the nature of the TFX classes, it is often necessary to keep information for an indeterminate period. This is because he circumstances under which you join and participate in a TFX class or workshop may recur later, and historical information is always beneficial. Although we use appropriate security measures once we have received your personal information, the transmission of information over the internet is never completely secure. We do our best to protect personal information, but we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to our website, so any transmission is at the user’s own risk. However, any payment card details (such as credit or debit cards) we receive are passed securely to our payment processing provider according to the Payment Card Industry Security Standards.

We will stop processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes as soon as we receive an objection, and this is free of charge. To update your preferences for Direct Marketing, please see the section on ‘How can you update your Contact Preferences or Update the Information we hold about you?’

Why are we allowed to process your personal information?

Our Privacy Notice considers several laws, including:

  • the Data Protection Act 1998 (also known as DPA98)
  • the Data Protection Act 2018 (also known as DPA18) which brings into force
  • in the UK. This will come into force in the UK on 25th May 2018 and will
  • replace DPA98
  • the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations
  • 2003 (also known as PECR)

Generally, our processing of your personal information as described in this notice is allowed by these laws because we have a legitimate need to carry out the processing for the purposes described above. Some processing may also be necessary so that we can perform a contract with you or because it is required by law. We only use your information to send you marketing communications by email with your consent, and you can always opt out of receipt of marketing communications by email, post or telephone as explained in the section on ‘How can you update your Contact Preferences or Update the Information we hold about you?’

How will we disclose the information we have collected to outside parties?

We will never sell, rent or trade your personal data. We may disclose your data to our service providers (such as outlined below) who render services to us or you on our behalf (all of which are contractually obligated to act only on our instructions and in accordance with applicable laws, including the GDPR).

For example,

For families that agree to speak to the media to help publicise our work, we will ask for your consent. Once this has been granted, TFX will send out a media release to various different media outlets. No contact details will be on the press release. If a journalist wishes to interview you, again consent from you will be obtained. Once consent is granted TFX will send your name and your contact details to the journalist. We may disclose your personal information if we are requested or required to do so by a regulator or law enforcement, or to enforce or apply our rights (including in relation to our website or other applicable terms and conditions) or to protect TFX, for example, in cases of suspected fraud or defamation, or to comply with any other applicable legal obligation.

Children’s Data

TFX does not offer an online service for children. We do, however, collect data about children when we collect information for classes, or for applications to our workshops. The basis for processing this information is consent, and if the child is under the age of 13, the consent will be sought from the parent. The child cannot give the consent themselves.

Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites run by other organisations. This privacy notice applies only to our website‚ so we encourage you to read he 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 our 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 thirdparty site.

Emails Terms of Use

Emails aren’t always secure, and they may be intercepted or changed after they’ve been sent. TFX doesn’t accept liability if this happens. The contents of emails reflect their author’s views and not necessarily those of TFX. The information in emails is confidential, so if you’ve received one by mistake, please delete it without copying, using, or telling anyone about its contents.

Your Credit or Debit Card Information

If you use your credit or debit card to join a workshop, take out a membership or make any other booking, we pass your card details securely to our payment processing partner as part of the payment process. We do this in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Security Standard, and don’t store the details on our website or databases.

If you call us and give us your details over the phone, we process your payment via a WorldPay secure connection that meets PCI DSS Standards. PCI DSS is the worldwide Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard that was set up to help businesses process card payments securely and reduce card fraud. This is achieved through enforcing tight controls surrounding the storage, transmission and processing of cardholder data that businesses handle. PCI DSS is intended to protect sensitive cardholder data. The card financial information is then destroyed, so that any paper copies of transactions that have taken place cannot be used by another person to process an inappropriate payment. For further information about PCI DSS standards, please contact info@tfxperform.com with your query.
