JCA Seminars Limited ("we", "us", "our") is the data controller responsible for your personal data. We are a company registered in the United Kingdom with our registered address at 6th Floor, Hastings, TN34 1EA, United Kingdom. We operate the website associated with the "Birds as Stress-Boosters: Unexpected Benefits of Interacting with Feathered Friends" educational webinar series.
We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
By using our website, submitting a registration form, or contacting us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the practices described herein, please do not use our website or submit any personal information to us.
We may collect and process the following categories of personal data about you:
We do not collect any special categories of personal data (such as data about your health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, sex life, or sexual orientation).
We collect personal data through the following methods:
We process your personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. The legal bases we rely on are:
When you voluntarily submit your name and email through our registration form, you consent to us processing that data for the purpose of organizing your participation in the webinar and sending you webinar-related communications. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
We have a legitimate interest in collecting Technical Data and Usage Data to maintain and improve our website, ensure security, and understand how visitors use our pages. We have assessed that this processing does not override your rights and freedoms. We also have a legitimate interest in responding to enquiries you send through our contact form.
In certain circumstances, we may need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject, such as responding to a lawful request from a public authority or maintaining records required by applicable law.
We use the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes:
We do not use your personal data for marketing purposes beyond sending webinar-related emails to those who have registered. We will never send promotional emails for unrelated products or services.
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. The specific retention periods for different types of data are as follows:
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Registration form data (name, email) | Up to 2 years after the webinar series concludes, unless you request earlier deletion |
| Contact form data (name, email, message) | Up to 2 years after the enquiry has been resolved |
| Analytics and usage data | Up to 26 months (in line with Google Analytics default settings) |
| Cookie data | Up to 13 months from the date of your last visit (varies by cookie type) |
| Server log data | Up to 12 months |
After the retention period expires, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal data. If deletion is not immediately possible due to technical constraints, we will ensure the data is securely stored and isolated from further processing until deletion becomes feasible.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third parties. We may share your data only with the following categories of recipients, strictly for the purposes described in this policy:
All third-party service providers are contractually bound to process your data only on our documented instructions and in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We require all service providers to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.
Some of our third-party service providers, particularly analytics providers and email service providers, may be based outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (EEA). When your personal data is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect it.
These safeguards may include:
You may contact us at [email protected] if you would like further details about the specific safeguards applied to the international transfer of your personal data.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation and the UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within one month of receiving your request.
You have the right to ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. This is also known as the "right to be forgotten".
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of your data.
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on legitimate interest as our legal basis, and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.
Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew consent.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. If your request is complex or we receive a high number of requests, we may extend this period by a further two months and will notify you accordingly.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the United Kingdom, the relevant authority is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which can be contacted through their website at ico.org.uk or by writing to Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
