This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal information when you visit our website, apply for membership, become a member, attend our events or otherwise interact with Maison Thýba.

Website: www.maisonthyba.com

For data protection purposes, Maison Thýba is the controller of the personal information described in this Privacy Policy.
 

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with Maison Thýba, we may collect:

Information you provide to us

This may include:

Where you make a payment, payment information may be processed by our payment service providers.

Maison Thýba does not directly collect or store your full payment card number or security code. Payments, including recurring membership subscription payments, are processed securely through Wix and its applicable payment providers. These providers may collect, process and securely retain payment information necessary to process payments and recurring subscriptions, in accordance with their own privacy policies, security requirements and applicable laws.
 

Website and technical information

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, such as:

• IP address;

• browser and device information;

• website usage information;

• pages visited;

• approximate location information; and

• cookie and similar technology information.

The information collected will depend on the website technologies and services we use.
 

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use your personal information to:

• process and assess membership applications;

• communicate with applicants and members;

• administer membership;

• confirm membership status;

• process joining fees, membership payments and refunds;

• organise and administer events;

• communicate event information;

• provide members with access to relevant membership benefits;

• respond to enquiries and requests;

• maintain appropriate membership records;

• manage our business and website;

• protect the security of our website, members and business;

• prevent or detect fraud or misuse;

• comply with legal and regulatory obligations; and

• send marketing communications where permitted and where you have provided the required consent.

We will not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes described in this Privacy Policy without providing appropriate information or obtaining consent where required.

The ICO's data-protection principles require organisations to be clear about their purposes and avoid using personal information for incompatible purposes.
 

4. Our Lawful Bases

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, Maison Thýba may rely on:

Contract

We may process information where this is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a membership arrangement or to provide membership services after you become a member.

Legitimate interests

We may process information where this is reasonably necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided that those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

This may include administering the Club, communicating with members, maintaining appropriate business records, improving our services and protecting the Club from misuse.

Legal obligation

We may process information where necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Consent

Where consent is required, we will ask for it separately and will explain what you are consenting to.

You can withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis for processing.

The ICO notes that legitimate interests can be an appropriate lawful basis where processing is reasonably expected and has a limited privacy impact, but the organisation remains responsible for balancing its interests against the individual's rights.
 

5. Membership Applications

When you apply for membership, the information you provide may be reviewed by Maison Thýba for the purpose of considering your application.

Submitting an application does not guarantee membership.

Your application information may be retained for an appropriate period after a decision has been made so that we can maintain appropriate records, deal with enquiries or disputes and comply with legal obligations.

We do not use solely automated decision-making to determine whether an individual is accepted as a member.
 

6. Information About Other People

You should only provide personal information about another person where you have a lawful basis to do so and, where appropriate, their permission.

For example, if you provide information about a guest or another individual in connection with an event, you should ensure that you are permitted to provide that information to us.
 

7. Sharing Your Information

We may share personal information with trusted third parties where necessary to operate Maison Thýba.

These may include:

• website hosting and website management providers;

• payment processors;

• email and communication providers;

• membership or customer-management systems;

• event venues and event suppliers where necessary to organise an event;

• professional advisers such as accountants, insurers or legal advisers;

• technology and security providers;

• government bodies, regulators or law-enforcement authorities where required or permitted by law.

We only share information where there is an appropriate reason and, where applicable, a lawful basis for doing so.
 

8. Wix and Other Service Providers

Maison Thýba's website and online services may be provided through third-party technology providers, including Wix and payment providers.

These providers may process personal information on our behalf or independently in accordance with their own legal obligations and privacy policies.

Where we use service providers to process personal information on our behalf, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that suitable data-protection arrangements are in place.
 

9. International Transfers

Some of our technology or service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, Maison Thýba will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable UK data-protection law.

This may include relying on an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism.
 

10. How Long We Keep Your Information

We will keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, accounting, tax, contractual or reporting requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information.

For example:

• membership records may be retained for the duration of membership and for an appropriate period afterwards;

• application information may be retained for an appropriate period after an application decision;

• payment and financial records may be retained for as long as required by applicable legal and accounting requirements; and

• marketing information will be retained in accordance with applicable marketing and data-protection requirements.

When information is no longer required, we will securely delete it or anonymise it where appropriate.
 

11. Your Rights

Subject to applicable legal conditions and exemptions, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to:

• request access to your personal information;

• ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;

• request deletion of your information in certain circumstances;

• request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;

• object to certain processing;

• request portability of information where applicable;

• withdraw consent where we rely on consent; and

• raise a concern or complaint about how we use your information.

To exercise your rights, contact us using the details below.

Email: contact@maisonthyba.com

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
 

12. Marketing

We may send Maison Thýba news, invitations, event information and other promotional communications where permitted by law.

Where marketing consent is required, we will ask for it separately.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in the communication or by contacting us.

Choosing not to receive marketing communications will not affect your membership.
 

13. Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential website functionality, understand website usage and, where applicable, support analytics or marketing.

Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies, we will ask for consent before placing those cookies.

You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie controls available on our website.

The ICO states that website visitors should be informed about cookies and that consent is generally required for cookies that are not strictly necessary.
 

14. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should also take reasonable steps to protect your own account information and login credentials.
 

15. Children's Information

Maison Thýba membership is intended for individuals aged 18 and over.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for the purpose of membership.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and take appropriate action.
 

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business, services, technology or legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on the Maison Thýba website and the “Last updated” date will be amended accordingly.
