Policy updated: 19th May 2018
This website is owned and operated by TFNation Ltd (hereafter “TFNation®”, “we” or “us”). Your privacy and wellbeing whilst using our website is extremely important to us - this document explains our commitment to keeping your data safe.
This is the TFNation® privacy policy. It tells you how we collect and process data received from you on our site. Please read the policy very carefully to ensure that you understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
If you have any comments on this privacy policy, please email them to info@tfnation.com.
The law recognises TFNation® as a ‘data controller’. In exchange for this recognition, we are legally obliged to give you some information about who we are.
The specific piece of law which says we have to do this is the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regards to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data. It is more commonly known as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The information we must give you, is as follows;
We may collect and process the following data about you:
Under GDPR we will ensure that your personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently, without adversely affecting your rights. We will only process your personal data if at least one of the following basis applies:
All Cookies used by and on our website are used in accordance with current English and EU Cookie Law.
The TFNation® site uses cookies or similar technology to distinguish users and improve our site. Please look at our Cookie Policy for more cookie information.
We use information about you to:
If you are already our customer, we will only contact you electronically about things similar to what was previously sold to you (like tickets to our events).
If you are a new customer, you will only be contacted if you agree to it.
If you don't want to be contacted for marketing purposes, please tick the relevant box that you will find on screen.
In addition, if you don’t want us to use your personal data for any of the other reasons set out in this section, you can let us know at any time by contacting us at info@tfnation.com and we will delete your data from our systems. However, you acknowledge this will limit our ability to provide the best possible products and services to you.
In some cases, the collection of personal data may be a statutory or contractual requirement, and we will be limited in the products and services we can provide you if you don’t provide your personal data in these cases.
We may transfer your collected data to storage outside the European Economic Area (EEA). It may be processed outside the EEA to fulfil your order and deal with payment.
By giving us your personal data, you agree to this arrangement. We will do what we reasonably can to keep your data secure.
We do not store any of your financial details.
If we give you a password, you must keep it confidential. Please don't share it. Although we try to provide protection, we cannot guarantee complete security for your data, and you take the risk that any sending of that data turns out to be not secure despite our efforts.
We only keep your personal data for as long as we need to in order to use it as described above in section 5, and/or for as long as we have your permission to keep it. In any event, we will conduct an [annual] review to ascertain whether we need to keep your personal data. Your personal data will be deleted if we no longer need it.
We have invested in a dedicated webhosting system, secure encryption systems and password protection.
All passwords use the PBKDF2 algorithm with a SHA256 hash, a password stretching mechanism recommended by NIST.
We hold a full EV SSL certificate with Comodo CA Ltd, which has certified our website to be authentic and secure.
We hold confirmed payment gateway accounts with Paypal for Business and Stripe. These are utilised to process payments. These gateways are important as they ensure all payments are routed via secure third party systems, meaning TFNation® does not hold any of your financial details.
TFNation® stores a log of successful, partially completed and failed bookings. However, for the avoidance of any doubt, your payment information (being your credit card, debit card or Paypal account details) is not entered into any page hosted by TFNation®. This means TFNation® never receives your financial details an thus can never store them. This is a safety measure we have purposefully put in place to add an extra layer of security in case our site is ever compromised.
Within our staff, only specifically pre-authorised individuals have access to the information provided by our users.
We endeavour to review and upgrade our security and privacy policies as necessary to afford you the maximum level of protection.
We are allowed to disclose your information in the following cases:
These are the third parties that have access to your information:
Where any of your data is required for such a purpose, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data will be handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the obligations of the third party under GDPR and the law.
You can ask us not to use your data for marketing. You can do this by ticking the relevant boxes on our forms, or by contacting us at any time at info@tfnation.com
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
You also have rights with respect to automated decision-making and profiling as set out in section 12 below.
To enforce any of the foregoing rights or if you have any other questions about our site or this Privacy Policy, please contact us at info@tfnation.com
Please note that our terms and conditions and our policies will not apply to other websites that you get to via a link from our site. We have no control over how your data is collected, stored or used by other websites and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any such websites before providing any data to them.
If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post the changes on this page. If we decide to, we may also email you.
In the event that we use personal data for the purposes of automated decision-making and those decisions have a legal (or similarly significant effect) on you, you have the right to challenge to such decisions under GDPR, requesting human intervention, expressing their own point of view, and obtaining an explanation of the decision from us.
The right described in section 11.1 does not apply in the following circumstances:
Where we use your personal data for profiling purposes, the following shall apply:
The Parties will use their best efforts to negotiate in good faith and settle any dispute that may arise out of or relate to this Privacy Policy or any breach of it.
If any such dispute cannot be settled amicably through ordinary negotiations between the parties, or either or both is or are unwilling to engage in this process, either party may propose to the other in writing that structured negotiations be entered into with the assistance of a fully accredited mediator before resorting to litigation.
Within 14 days of the appointment of the mediator, the parties will meet with the mediator to agree the procedure to be adopted for the mediation, unless otherwise agreed between the parties and the mediator.
All negotiations connected with the relevant dispute(s) will be conducted in confidence and without prejudice to the rights of the parties in any further proceedings.
If the parties agree on a resolution of the dispute at mediation, the agreement shall be reduced to writing and, once signed by the duly authorised representatives of both parties, shall be final and binding on them.
Any dispute shall not affect the parties’ ongoing obligations under this Privacy Policy.
This agreement is governed by English, under the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Court.
