What information do we collect about you
In general you can visit Stitched Up’s website without disclosing any personal information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may request information from you. We collect information you give to us by email, various forms on the website, over the telephone, face-to-face or by postal mail.
We collect information about you when you join our mailing list, make a donation or place an order for our products or services. Website usage information may be collected using cookies.
How will we use the information about you?
If you have made a booking on our site, we will send you booking confirmations and reminders by email or SMS. If you opt in to our mailing list, we will send the occasional email about our activities which we think may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving these emails at any time.
We may use your information collected from the website to personalise your repeat visits to our website.
We may disclose your data to our service providers who render services to us or you on our behalf such as delivering postal mail, sending emails and processing payments (all of which are contractually obliged to act only on our instructions and in accordance with applicable laws, including GDPR).
Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.
Access to your information and amending your information
If you would like a copy of some or all of the personal information we hold about you, please email hello@stitchedup.coop, or write to us at Stitched Up, 527B Wilbraham Road, Manchester, M21 0UF. We may make a reasonable charge for this service. (e.g. for repeated requests).
We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think it is inaccurate. We will retain some basic information to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future and to ensure we do not duplicate information. This is superseded by your right to erasure (“the right to be forgotten”). Following this request all of your data will be removed from all Stitched Up systems and any financial agreements, such a Direct Debit, will be ended.

Transfer of your data internationally
The DPA and GDPR restrict the transfer of data outside of the EU and EEA. Our primary web server is located in the UK, however some of the suppliers and systems that we use can be based in other countries which are outside of the EU and EEA. This may occur, for example, by using online services with servers based in other countries or which route data via such systems. Stitched Up will ensure that information which you provide is only transferred to other countries (which do not have data protection laws equal to the DPA and GDPR) provided that the organisations involved have certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield (for organisations based in the USA) or similar stringent certification to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your rights and your data.
