All direct payment gateways offered by Wix.com and used by our company adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

7 Who might we share your information with?

We may share your personal information in the situations detailed below:

  • Service providers

    We share your personal information with third parties who provide services to us. The following activities all involve the processing of personal information and are carried out by third party service providers: website hosting, website optimization and analytics, payment processing, delivery, monitoring and optimisation of checkout reminder emails and marketing materials, customer survey services, hosting and maintenance of social media platforms. Further details in respect of our third party service providers are available on request. Please contact us (section 13) for further information.

  • Law, legal rights and vital interests

    We may also need to share your information with a law enforcement body, regulator, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law, (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of any person.

  • Consent

    We may share your personal information where you have specifically consented to such disclosure. 

8 Do you transfer my information outside of the European Union?

We may transfer your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA). For example, our Websites are hosted on servers within Europe and the United States of America, and our third party service providers operate around the world.  We will only transfer your personal information outside the EEA if adequate protection measures are in place.  To ensure that your personal information does receive an adequate level of protection outside the EEA we use the following protection measures:

  • Transferring to countries approved by the European Commission

  • Using model contractual clauses approved by the European Commission

  • Requiring companies we transfer information to in the United States to be signed up to the EU/US Privacy Shield Framework

Further details in respect of protective measures used outside of the EEA are available on request. Please contact us (section 13) for further information.

9 How long do we keep hold of your information?

We only retain your information for as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete it.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which it has been processed, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • Request access to a copy of the personal information we hold about you

  • Request correction of any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you

  • Request restriction to suspend our processing of your personal information.

  • Request transfer of your personal information to another party which you have provided to us.

  • Opt out of marketing communications which we send you at any time.

If you want to exercise any of these rights please contact us (section 13).

You will not have to pay a fee to exercise any of your rights, however we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

Please note that we may need to request information from you to confirm your identity and establish your entitlement to these rights.

If you are not satisfied with our processing of your personal information, you also have the right to make a complaint to the relevant supervisory authority. Please see here for the relevant contact details.

Cookies Policy

 

This notice explains how Ravenwood Bishop's Castle uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our websites at www.ravenwoodbc.co.uk other micro-sites operated by us from time to time, and our various social media accounts (“Websites”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control them.


What are cookies?
 
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.  Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. 
 
Cookies set by the website owner are called "first party cookies".  Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website.
 
Why do we use cookies?
 
We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described below:

Cookie name                                     Life span                                                Purpose

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
 
Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website.  We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs").  These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them.  This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns.  In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
 
Do you serve targeted advertising?
 
When you visit our website, selected third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to allow relevant adverts to be delivered to you on third party websites. We do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and exchanges, advertising technologies like web beacons, pixels and cookies, in addition to technology offered by third parties such as Facebook pixel's custom audience feature. The adverts which you see will be based on your previous use of The Cave Shrewsbury Ltd website. The information collected through this process does not enable us or the third party websites to identify your name, contact details or other personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these.  We will use anonymous information about the ad you saw and how you engaged with it to measure and improve our advertising campaigns in the future.
 
How can I control cookies?
 
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.  You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.   As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.
 
You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking using a browser plugin at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. You can specifically opt-out from personalised ads powered by Google across your internet usage at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922 .
 
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.  If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.
 
How often will you update this Cookie Notice?
 
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time.  Please re-visit this Cookie Notice regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. 
 
Where can I get further information?
