At Blackzone Coaching (collectively “Blackzone”, “we”, “us” and “our”), we are fully committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains the types of data we collect and what we do with it.
We keep our privacy policy under regular review. This privacy policy was last updated on 08 March 2020.
In terms of the Data Protection Act 1998, Kevin Henderson is the data controller of personal data (information relating to identifiable living individuals) collected or obtained by or through our website. Any personal data collected through our website will be treated as confidential under the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998.
Our website does not automatically capture or store personal information, other than logging the user’s IP address and session info such as the duration of the visit and the type of browser used. This is recognised by the Web server and is only used for system administration and to provide statistics which Blackzone uses to evaluate use of the site. You do not need to provide us with personal information simply to browse the site.
We maintain all necessary physical, electronic and procedural security to help safeguard personal, sensitive and payment data against loss, misuse or alteration. Third parties that provide us with support or services may also receive personal, sensitive or payment information, and we require them to maintain security measures similar to ours with respect to such information.
When we request customers to enter sensitive information via a form on a web page we operate, such as personally identifiable information, it is encrypted and protected with SSL encryption.
While on a secure page, such as our customer data capture forms, the lock icon at the bottom or top of web browsers, e.g. Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked or open, when you are just ‘surfing’.
While every effort is made by us to secure transmission of data eg using SSL we cannot be held responsible for the security of your data while it is being transmitted over the internet and through servers that are out of our control. We strive to protect your personal information but we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to our website or services. Any data transmissions you make over the internet are done so at your own risk. Once we receive your data transmission, we are responsible for ensuring the security and privacy of your personal data on our systems.
You are entitled to access, update or remove the personal information that we hold about you. Please email your request to Kevin Henderson at kevin@blackzonecoaching.com.
