For the purposes of UK and EU data protection laws, the data controller is The Training Shop Ltd. Our Address is Unit 2 Sandpool Farm, Poole Keynes, Gloucestershire, GL7 6EA. For any queries please contact enquiries@thetrainingshop.co.uk

B. The Personal Data We Collect and when we collect it

We ask you for certain personal data to enable us to provide you with the products or services you request. For example, when you make purchases, request to receive communications, create an account, participate in our events, contests or competitions, or interact with our site. This personal data may include your:

  • Contact details including name, email, telephone number and address
  • Login and account information, password and user ID if applicable
  • Payment or credit card information (collected by our payment processor but not stored by us)
  • Personal marketing preferences

We use additional personal data to enable us to activate features within our site. When using our site, data is automatically collected and shared with The Training Shop by the technology platforms providing the website.

Your web browser or mobile device, for example, may share certain data with us as you interact with the web site. More information about these practices is included in the Cookies section below. The shared data may include:

  • Device IDs, call state, network access, storage information and battery information
  • Cookies, IP addresses, data identifying your web browser and version

C. Tools to Manage What We Collect

In many cases, your web browser or mobile device platform will provide additional tools to allow you to control when your device collects or shares specific categories of information. For example, your mobile device or web browser may offer tools to allow you to manage cookie usage or location sharing. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with and use the tools available on your devices.

D. How and why we use your Personal Data

We use the personal data we collect from you in the following ways:

To Process your Orders

We gather this information to allow us to process your registration, process any orders you may make, provide the products requested and deliver them to you. The relevant information is then used by us, our agents and sub-contractors to communicate with you on any matter relating to the conduct of your account and the provision of the goods or services in general. Our legal basis for processing this data is to perform the contract with you.

To Conduct Data Checks

When you send us your order, we (or our agents and sub-contractors) may run some checks on it before it is fulfilled. These checks may include verifying your address and fraud checks, some of which are partly automated checks on all purchases to filter out unusual or suspect transactions, or transactions which can be identified as susceptible to fraud. Suspected fraud on the site will be investigated and if necessary prosecuted. Processing this data is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interest in preventing non-payment or fraud.

To Provide the Features of the Site and Services You Request

When you use our site, we will use your data to provide the product or service you have selected. For example, if you make a purchase on https://www.thetrainingshop.co.uk or participate in an event or promotion, we will use the contact information you give us to communicate with you about the purchase, event or promotion. Your consent provides the legal basis for processing this data.

To Communicate Information about our Products, Services, Events and for Other Promotional Purposes 

When you create a user account, we may use the information you provide to send you personalised communications on products and services that may be interesting for you. You can withdraw your consent to receiving these communications at any time by simply unsubscribing. This option is provided in all electronic marketing communications.

To Operate, Improve and Maintain our Business, Products and Services

When you make a purchase, we may use that information for accounting, auditing and other internal functions. We may also use data about how you use our products and services to enhance your user experience and to help us diagnose technical and service problems and administer our site. If you add product reviews to our site, we may use that information to improve our products and the customer experience. Our legal basis for processing this data is that it is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate business interests as described above.

For General Research and Analysis Purposes

We use data about how our visitors use our site, and services to understand customer behaviour or preferences. For example, we may use information about how visitors to https://www.thetrainingshop.co.uk search for and find products, to better understand the best ways to organise and present product offerings in our site. We use Google Analytics for this, and the customer data is anonymised.

Other Purposes

If we want to use your personal data in other ways, we will provide specific notice at the time of collection and obtain your consent where the law requires us to do so.

  • Our payment processors, Amazon Payments, Paypal and Sagepay.
