At Norfolk Wine School (NWS) we aim to be open and transparent, so we have developed a Privacy Policy, which is a quick and simple summary document that explains how we manage, share and protect any personal data we hold.
Key Principles
Your personal data is important and there are a range of laws in place to safeguard it (the most important of which is the General Data Protection Regulation or “GDPR”). NWS is committed to doing its part to protect your personal data and comply with those laws.
In practice, this means that all personal data which we hold about you will be:
- Used lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way
- Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes
- Relevant to the purposes we have told you about
- Accurate and kept up to date
- Kept securely
This Privacy Policy sets out how NWS uses and protects any information that you share with us.
What Information we collect about you and how it is used
We collect your personal data when you fill in forms on our website or at our events or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes:
