Personal information collection

School Days Direct Ltd may collect and use the following kinds of personal information:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Telephone Number
  • E-mail Address

We will collect information from you when you register on our site, place an order online, subscribe to our marketing information and offers, telephone us or fill out a form.

We need this information to process your order and if necessary we may contact you for help if any queries arise. All the information collected from you is stored on a secure database. We do not hold any special category data at any time. We do not carry out any automated decision making or any type of automated profiling.

We have CCTV cameras that are in operation on our premises. We have registered with the ICO for this purpose. We have this in operation to protect our staff, property, premises and customers. The cameras are located around the premises but not near the changing rooms, toilets or where the credit card machines so that pin numbers cannot be recorded. There are signs inside and outside the premises to ensure that all customers and staff are aware of their existence. Full details of this is stated in our CCTV policy that is available on request.

How long will we keep your personal data?

All personal data is stored in accordance with our Retention Policy. This means we will only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose which it was collected. When the personal data reaches the end of its retention period, it will be removed/deleted from our systems. Some personal data will be stored beyond its initial retention period if it is needed for any legal proceedings. It may also be anonymised, so we can consider buying trends or statistical information, you will not be identifiable from this data.
