The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons or conditions for which an organisation may collect and process your personal data, including:
Consent
In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent. This might include when you tick a box to receive an email about ways you can purchase from us or to receive information about the services that we offer.
When collecting your personal data, we’ll always make clear to you what data is necessary and for what purpose.
Contractual Obligations
In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations, for example, if you purchase a publication or service from us.
Legal Compliance
If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data, for example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud, copyright infringement or other criminal activity affecting Vinehouse essential to law enforcement agencies.
Legitimate Interest
In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected when we pursue our aims and objectives as an organisation, and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.
Vinehouse essential has a legitimate interest in maintaining a record of its activities as part of a long- established publisher and behavioural services supplier with a strong identity and history.

Social Media
We may collect your social media username, if you interact with us through those channels, to help us respond to your comments, questions and feedback.
The data privacy law allows this as part of our legitimate interest in understanding our audience.
If and when you wish to change how we use your data, you’ll find details below in our ‘What are my rights’ section.

You can object to our processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
You have the right to ask that we stop any consent-based processing of your personal data after you withdraw your consent.
When you withdraw consent, or object and we do not have a legitimate interest to continue, or once the purpose for which we hold the data has ended, your information may be deleted from our records, archived or anonymised. We may, however, keep it if we have a legal obligation.
You have the right to challenge automated decisions we make about you. You may ask for these to be assessed by one of our staff.
