What we do with the information we gather

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) means we must obtain freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent from our students and/or their parent/guardian and website visitors. We must also clearly explain how we plan to use this personal data.

We require this information to understand the students and parent/guardian needs, and to provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

Internal record keeping.
We may use the information to improve our products and services.
We may periodically send promotional emails about our programme, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided. You must consent to this by signing up to our mailing list or expressing your wish in writing/electronically via email.
From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for feedback or market research purposes via email. We may use the information to review and update our website according to your feedback.

The Summer Fashion School London may send you messages about our Services. Some of these messages are required, service-related messages for students/parents/guardians (such as legal notices or important programme information). Other messages are not required, such as newsletters and promotional messages. You can control which optional messages you choose to receive by updating your preferences on MailChimp.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and after it is received. If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at info@summerfashionschool.com.

The Summer Fashion School London encrypts personal information sent to us online using full-site secure socket layer technology (SSL). Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we attempt to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

How we use cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of our website.

Links to other websites

You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.
