How We Protect and Use Your Information
Who We Are
Tarot Professionals Ltd is a limited company registered in the UK and trades as the Tarosophy Tarot Association with a range of social media platforms including Arkartia and Tarot Professionals.
Your Information
We use Paypal for the majority of our online financial transactions and do not store any credit card, bank or financial information on our sites or local computers.
Our other systems include a membership system and course provision systems. These systems store personal details such as your name, email and location.
Your email address and name are stored with your permission on our mailing systems. We use this to provide you relevant information, news and marketing about our services and the world of divination.
We also maintain spreadsheets of relevant information, usually anonymised, on password-protected devices, such as a list of email addresses to whom to send a special course.
Your information is provided to us only by yourself; we do not purchase additional information or link your data to other sources of marketing information. Other information is created as you use our systems, for example, your access to membership pages and course progress.
How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We maintain this information for as long as it is relevant, and our mailing system removes obsolete information automatically, such as closed email addresses, etc.
Do We Share Your Information?
Neither ourselves or our service providers pass on your information to third-parties other than on any occasion warranted under current legal requirements, i.e. to law-enforcement agencies.
How We Protect Your Information
We protect your information by utilising high quality third-party service providers who in themselves are adopting the GDPR requirements.
Our own sites are maintained on well-established Internet Service Providers and we have invested in industry-leading Anti-Malware and firewall software in addition to standard protection.
Your Rights
THE GDPR provides welcome clarity to our rights as individuals with regard to information stored about us. Our third-party suppliers are either already adhering to these rights or have tightened their policies in recent months ahead of the GDPR on May 25th 2018.
You already have the right to unsubscribe from our mailing lists and this is facilitated by our mailing lists.
You also have a right to request complete removal of your information from our sites, and we would facilitate this on request.
