Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy aims to help you understand what information we might collect about you and how we use it.

LKH Dog Training is the data controller of your personal data.

LKH Dog Training is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy and will comply with all applicable data protection laws in all our dealings with your personal data.

As data controllers, we want you to feel both informed and empowered when it comes to the handling and usage of your personal information. In this privacy statement, we explain how and why we collect and use personal data, which is information relating to an identified or identifiable living person. We will only use your personal information lawfully in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (‘GDPR’). If you have any questions about our Privacy and Cookie Policy, please do get in contact by sending an email to LKH-dogtraining@outlook.com.

We process personal data for a variety of reasons, with each means of collection, lawful basis of processing, use,disclosure, and retention periods set out on a situational basis.

When you visit our site, we collect anonymous data from our cookies. This means we can see the number of users, page views and visits within a selected timeframe, but we cannot link this information back to you as an individual.

When you sign up to receive content or downloads from us you are actively opting in to receiving marketing communications from us. You can unsubscribe or opt-out from our emails at any time. Every email we send you will have an ‘unsubscribe’ link in it. If you download any of our free content or buy anything from us we securely store personal data such as your name, address and contact details. We may also share this information with our third-party delivery partners so that we can get your goods delivered to you.

We only share your financial data with our trusted third-party payment provider when it is required to fulfil your order. We do not store any of your card details on our system, so your financial information

and data is fully secure.

Personal data may also be used to send triggered emails, such as cart abandonment, notifications, and purchase confirmation emails for instance. We may also use this information to personalise our marketing, for example, to suggest products or services related to your previous purchases or interests. It may also be used to send you special offers and product news by email. You can opt out of this at any time by unsubscribing from our mailing list or contacting us: lkh-dogtraining@outlook.com

What information do we collect?

We may collect and process the following data about you:

● Information about you, such as your name, your business name, telephone number and email

address;

● Additional information that is provided by you filling in forms on our websites or at

exhibitions/events, say. This includes information provided at the time of registering to use our site,

subscribing to our services, posting material, or requesting further services or information;

● If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence;

● We may also ask you to complete surveys from time to time that we use for research purposes,

although you do not have to respond to them;

● Details of transactions you carry out through our site and of the fulfilment of your orders;

● Details of your visits to our websites and emails received including, but not limited to, traffic data,

location data, web logs and other communication data, whether this is required for our own billing

purposes or otherwise.

In addition, we may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to prevent fraudulent access to our member-only areas.

How do we collect your information?

There are a couple of ways that we collect your information. Depending on how you use our site and what for, we collect your information using the following methods:

1. When you directly give it to us (“Directly Provided Data”)

This includes when you sign up to download or receive something from us, sign up to one of our competitions say, or place an order with us.

2. When our system collects data as you use our website (“System Collected Data”)

Typical of many websites, when you visit our website certain information automatically gets created and recorded byIT systems necessary to operate the site.

This can be broken down into:

● Cookies. When you visit our site a small text file called a ‘cookie’ is downloaded onto your PC. The

next time you visit our site, your computer will check to see if it has a cookie that is relevant and then

sends the information contained in that cookie back to the site. This lets us know if you’re a new or returning visitor and what items you’ve viewed or added to cart, for instance. This is all to improve

your experience with us. For more information about cookies, how we use them and what we do with

them, please see the section titled “Cookie Consent” further down this page.

● Devices. The type of device you’re using to access our site will also be recorded, such as what type

of device it is, what operating system you’re using, what your device settings are, and potentially why

a crash has happened. This is again to help us improve your user experience by making sure our site

is working and optimised on all devices. This falls under “Anonymous Information” as we can’t trace

this information back to you as an individual.

Why do we collect your information and personal data?

We process personal information for certain legitimate business purposes, which include some or all of the following:

● To educate you and/or to share with you, techniques, strategies and insights that are designed to

help you improve your business and/or to become more successful;

● To update our records and generally maintain your accounts/membership with us;

● To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us;

● To allow you to participate in interactive features of our service, when you choose to do so;

● To notify you about any changes to our service.

● To identify and prevent fraud;

● To enhance the security of our network and information systems;

● To better understand how people, interact with our websites;

● To communicate with you about offers, products, services and other information that we believe may

be helpful to you and your business;

● To determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and marketing.

● To enhance, modify, personalise or otherwise improve our services/communications for the benefit

of you and our customers;

Whenever we process data we will ensure that we always keep your personal data rights in high regard and take full account of these rights. When contacting you for the above purposes we may do so by phone, post, email or other electronic means, unless you tell us otherwise. None of your personal details will ever be passed to any third parties or shared with companies or people outside of

LKH Dog Training and our associated businesses.

What’s the lawful basis in which we process your data?

Under the applicable data protection laws (GDPR) we need a lawful basis to collect and use your personal data. The law allows for six lawful bases to process people’s personal data, and one of them allows personal data to be legally collected and used if it is necessary for a legitimate interest of the organisation – as long as it is fair and balanced and does not unduly impact the rights of individuals.

We have assessed our business interests in carrying out marketing activities and we have carefully considered the impact the collection and use of personal data could potentially have on individuals’ rights. Our databases contain primarily business data, which is used to help, and promote to, businesses in the UK and such activities are unlikely to affect the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals concerned. We have therefore concluded that the most appropriate lawful ground for the processing of your personal data is our legitimate interests.

In the event you request any goods and/or services from us, we will rely on our contractual relationship to process your personal data to provide such goods and/or services to you.

In certain circumstances we may also rely on a specific consent provided by you for the processing of your personal data. You have the right to object to this processing if you wish and if you do so we will remove your data from all our systems and cease all communication with you. If you wish to make that happen just send an email to: lkh-dogtraining@outlook.com

Who do we share your information with?

This includes when you visit our site, add something to your basket, sign up to our mailing list or when you use external sites such as social media.
