Privacy Policy

Sarah Jordan Coach is run by Sarah Jordan as a Sole Trader. Your privacy is really important to me and in this statement, I explain what personal data I collect whilst you use my website, why I collect it and how it is used. I am the data controller, and I am responsible for your personal data.

This statement is divided between the different relationships people may have as they engage in the different areas of my business. If you are unsure as to which category you fall in too, please contact me to find out.

First things first, some general information:

Sharing your data:

  • Under no circumstances do I ever sell or rent your data to a third party.

On some occasions I may have to share your data on the following circumstances:

– Service providers who assist me in delivering my business

– To third parties if I believe that disclose is advisable or necessary to comply with the law, to enforce or apply my terms and conditions or to protect the right, property or safety of myself or others. This may include, but is not limited to, exchanging information with other companies and organisation for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

I require all third parties to whom I transfer your data to, to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. I only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with my instructions.

When a third party service provider of mine is outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and therefore they will be processing your personal data outside the EEA I do my very best to ensure a similar degree of security of data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is in place:

– I will only transfer your personal data to countries that the European Commission have approved as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data by; or

– Where I use certain service providers, I 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 I use US-based providers that are part of EU-US Privacy Shield, I may transfer data to them, as they have equivalent safeguards in place.

If none of the above safeguards is available, I may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
