We
may collect data about you by you providing the data directly to us
(for example by filling in forms on our site or by sending us emails).
We may automatically collect certain data from you as you use our
website by using cookies and similar technologies.
4. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
Our
lawful ground of processing your personal data to send you marketing
communications is either your consent or our legitimate interests
(namely to support our members and grow our membership).
Under
the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we may send you
marketing communications from us if (i) you made a purchase or asked for
information from us about our goods or services or (ii) you agreed to
receive marketing communications and in each case you have not opted out
of receiving such communications since. However you can still opt out
of receiving marketing emails from us at any time.
If
you opt out of receiving marketing communications this opt-out does not
apply to personal data provided as a result of other transactions, such
as purchases, reply notifications from our forum.
5. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below:
Service providers who provide IT and system administration services.
Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers
Government bodies that require us to report processing activities.
Third parties to whom we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets.
We
require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the
security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the
law. We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for
specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Countries
outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer the
same levels of protection to your personal data, so European law has
prohibited transfers of personal data outside of the EEA unless the
transfer meets certain criteria.
Where we use certain
service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or
certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give
personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or
If we use
US-based providers that are part of EU-US Privacy Shield, we may
transfer data to them, as they have equivalent safeguards in place.
If
none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit
consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw
this consent at any time.
7. DATA SECURITY
We
have put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from
being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed without
authorisation. We also allow access to your personal data only to those
employees and partners who have a business need to know such data. They
will only process your personal data on our instructions and they must
keep it confidential.
We have procedures in place to
deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any
applicable regulator of a breach if we are legally required to.
8. DATA RETENTION
We
will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil
the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of
satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
When
deciding what the correct time is to keep the data for we look at its
amount, nature and sensitivity, potential risk of harm from unauthorised
use or disclosure, the processing purposes, if these can be achieved by
other means and legal requirements.
9. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Under
data protection laws you have rights in relation to your personal data
that include the right to request access, correction, erasure,
restriction, transfer, to object to processing, to portability of data
and (where the lawful ground of processing is consent) to withdraw
consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email us at datacontroller@beermountain.com
You
will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise
any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if
your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive or refuse to
comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may
need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your
identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to
exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure
that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to
receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information
in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We
try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.
Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is
particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this
case, we will notify you.
If you are not happy with any aspect of
how we collect and use your data, you have the right to complain to the
Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority
for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We should be grateful if
you would contact us first if you do have a complaint so that we can try
to resolve it for you.
