Privacy Policy

This policy covers the websites operated by Jigsaw Arts Franchise Limited registered to Prospect House, 2 Athenaeum Road, Whetstone, London N20 9AE.

We comply with data protection legislation such as the Data Protection Act 1998. This regulates the processing of personal data relating to you and grants you various rights in respect of your personal data.

The aim of this statement is to tell you how we use any personal data we collect about you through our websites.  We’d like to reassure you that any personal data you give us will be treated in complete confidence.

What information do we collect?

We may share your personal data with other companies in the Jigsaw Arts network but only for the purposes outlined in this policy. All persons who have access to your data are bona fide members of the organisation and only have access to the data needed for them to safely and securely operate our services.

We may employ the services of a third party to help us in certain areas, such as website hosting, support and maintenance, and child protection issues. In some cases, the third party may receive your information. However, we will control and be responsible for the use of your information and at no point do these third parties have our permission to use your data to contact you.

We may also disclose your personal data when we believe this is required by law, to enforce or comply with our terms and conditions or to protect the rights, property, safety of Jigsaw, our customers or others.

We will hold your data, unless you request otherwise, for 12 months after you have provided us with the details, or 12 months after you cease to use our services.

Use of data by franchisees

Our schools that operate as franchises are independent data controllers of your personal data which means that they have their own responsibilities for complying with their obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998. This policy does not apply to any separate websites or micro sites maintained by our franchisees. We are not responsible, nor do we authorise any such websites, nor do we warrant or guarantee that their privacy policies and practices comply with applicable law.

Transfer of Your Data Outside the EU

No use of your data will take place outside of the EU.

Security

We have implemented reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to secure your personal data from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, the Internet is an open system and we cannot guarantee that unauthorised third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal data for improper purposes. Any breaches of your data are taking very seriously, and you will be informed of any such breach within 72 hours.

Sale of the Business

In the event that the business is sold or integrated with another business, your details will be passed to the new owners of the business.
