How your personal data is collected

We collect this personal data directly from you—in person, by telephone, text, at meetings or email and/or via our website. However, we may also collect information:

Cookies

We use cookies to help improve your experience of our website. 

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit. It typically contains information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the site to recognise your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the cookie’s purpose, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.

Cookies are used to enable certain features (e.g., logging in), track site usage (e.g., analytics), store your user settings (e.g., time zone, notification preferences), and to personalise your content (e.g., advertising, language).

Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you but personal data that we hold about you may be associated with the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

You may remove or block the cookies by following the instructions of your device and/or browser preferences; however, if you choose to disable cookies, some features of our site may not operate properly and your online experience may be limited.

Our website is built on Squarespace. As such, operation of our site comes under the influence of Squarespace Privacy Policy and Squarespace Cookie Policy.

How and why we use your personal data

Under data protection law, we can only use your personal data if we have a proper reason, e.g.:

• where you have given consent;

• to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;

• for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract; or

• for our legitimate interests or those of a third party.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your personal data, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. We will carry out an assessment when relying on legitimate interests, to balance our interests against your own.

Marketing

We will use your personal data to send you updates (by email, text message, telephone or post) about our services, including exclusive offers, promotions or new services.

We have a legitimate interest in using your personal data for marketing purposes (see above “How and why we use your personal data”). This means we do not usually need your consent to send you marketing information. If we change our marketing approach in the future so that consent is needed, we will ask for this separately and clearly.

You have the right to opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by:

• contacting us at hello@magnificentlyyou.com; or

• using the “unsubscribe” link in emails or “STOP” number in texts.

We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you ask us to provide further services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.

We will always treat your personal data with the utmost respect and never sell or share it with other organisations for marketing purposes.

Who we share your personal data with

We routinely share personal data with:

• third parties we use to help deliver our services to you, eg payment service providers, companies who provide administrative services or sub-contractors;

• other third parties we use to help us run our business, eg marketing agencies or website hosts;

• third parties approved by you, eg social media sites you choose to link your account to or third party payment providers.

We only allow those organisations to handle your personal data if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your personal data. We also impose contractual obligations on them to ensure they can only use your personal data to provide services to us and to you.

We or the third parties mentioned above occasionally also share personal data with:

• external auditors, eg in relation to the audit of accounts, in which case the recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations;

• professional advisors (such as lawyers and other advisors), in which case the recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations;

• law enforcement agencies, courts, tribunals and regulatory bodies to comply with legal and regulatory obligations;

• other parties that have or may acquire control or ownership of our business (and our or their professional advisers) in connection with a significant corporate transaction or restructuring, including a merger, acquisition, asset sale, initial public offering or in the event of our insolvency—usually, information will be anonymised but this may not always be possible. The recipient of any of your personal data will be bound by confidentiality obligations.

If you would like more information about who we share our data with and why, please contact us (see “How to contact us” below).

Where your personal data is held

Personal data may be held at our offices, on our secure CRM system, in our emails or on cloud based storage such as SharePoint, at third party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above (see above: “Who we share your personal data with”).

Some of these third parties may be based outside the UK/EEA. For more information, including on how we safeguard your personal data when this happens, see below: “Transferring your personal data out of the UK and EEA”.

How long your personal data will be kept.

We will not keep your personal data for longer than we need it for the purpose for which it is used. For example, we will keep information about contracts for 6 years. Other information will be kept for six months. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal data. Following the end of the of the relevant retention period, we will delete or anonymise your personal data.

Transferring your personal data out of the UK and EEA

Countries outside the EEA and the UK have differing data protection laws, some of which may provide lower levels of protection of privacy. It is sometimes necessary for us to transfer your personal data to countries outside the UK and EEA. In those cases we will comply with applicable UK and EEA laws designed to ensure the privacy of your personal data.

We will transfer your personal data to our service providers located outside the UK. As we are based in the UK we will also transfer your personal data to the EEA.

Under data protection laws, we can only transfer your personal data to a country outside the UK/EEA where:

• the UK government has decided the particular country ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an “adequacy decision”) further to Article 45 of the UK GDPR.

• in the case of transfers subject to EEA data protection laws, the European Commission has decided that the particular country ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an “adequacy decision”) further to Article 45 of the EU GDPR. 

• there are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for you; or

• a specific exception applies under relevant data protection law.

Where we transfer your personal data outside the UK, we do so on the basis of an adequacy regulation or (where this is not available) we enter into a contract to protect your rights for example legally-approved standard data protection clauses recognised or issued further to Article 46(2) of the UK GDPR. In the event we cannot or choose not to continue to rely on either of those mechanisms at any time, we will not transfer your personal data outside the UK unless we can do so on the basis of an alternative mechanism or exception provided by UK data protection law and reflected in an update to this policy.

Any changes to the destinations to which we send personal data or in the transfer mechanisms we rely on to transfer personal data internationally will be notified to you in accordance with the section on “Changes to this privacy policy” below.

If you would like further information about data transferred outside the UK/EEA, please contact us (see “How to contact us” below).

• The right to object:

  • at any time to your personal data being processed for direct marketing (including profiling);

• Not to be subject to automated individual decision making—The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you;

• The right to withdraw consents—If you have provided us with a consent to use your personal data you have a right to withdraw that consent easily at any time. You may withdraw consents by contacting us (see “How to contact us” below). Withdrawing a consent will not affect the lawfulness of our use of your personal data in reliance on that consent before it was withdrawn.

For more information on each of those rights, including the circumstances in which they apply, please contact us (see “How to contact us” below) or see the Guidance from the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) on individuals’ rights here.

• let us know what right you want to exercise and the information to which your request relates.

Keeping your personal data secure

We have appropriate security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed unlawfully. We limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those processing your personal data will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

How to complain

Please contact us if you have any queries or concerns about our use of your personal data (see “How to contact us” below). We hope we will be able to resolve any issues you may have.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner in the UK. The UK’s Information Commissioner may be contacted using the details at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or by telephone: 0303 123 1113.
