Terms and conditions


ClassBento terms and conditions of use
1.	Introduction
1.1	We provide a platform via the ClassBento website (www.classbento.co.uk) (the Platform) where local service providers can list leisure activities and recreational experiences and workshops (the Services) for purchase by buyers. As the platform provider we facilitate the selling and buying process between service providers and buyers, we do not sell or buy Services ourselves. These terms and conditions govern your use of the Platform.

1.4	You must be at least:
•	18 years of age to use our Platform as a service provider; and
•	16 years to age to use our Platform as a buyer,
	by using our website or agreeing to these terms and conditions, you warrant and represent to us that you are at least 18 years of age or 16 years of age (as applicable).
1.5	Under data protection legislation, we are required to provide you with certain information about who we are, how we process your personal data and for what purposes and your rights in relation to your personal data and how to exercise them.  This information is provided at classbento.co.uk/terms-and-conditions and it is important that you read that information.
1.6 	All Services shown on the Platform are subject to availability. Any images or descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and the actual Services may vary from those images or descriptions. Whilst we use our commercially reasonable endeavours to ensure service providers provide accurate, complete and not misleading listings on our Platform, we cannot guarantee the information provided to us is accurate.
2.	Gift Cards
2.1	Gift cards can be purchased on the Platform and are valid for 3 years from purchase.
2.2 Gift cards are available as e-vouchers which are emailed instantly and can be printed off.
2.3	Gift cards purchased on the Platform are redeemable against any Services listed on the Platform.
2.4	If you purchase Services which exceeds the gift card amount, you can pay the difference in price via another payment method.
2.5	Gift cards are fully refundable if you have not already used the gift card to purchase Services and you contact us within 100 days of purchase to notify us you require a refund (via our Contact page on the Platform).
2.6	Classes are subject to price increases at the discretion of our Teachers. If a ClassBento gift card is bought via the “Gift This Class” feature and the class's price increases after that, and if you choose to redeem the gift card on this class, the difference in price may have to be paid at the checkout, at the teacher's discretion. Alternatively, the gift card can be used for its original value on ClassBento's other classes as per clause 2.3.
2.7	In the event of fraudulently obtained gift cards, we have the right to suspend your account and where you have used the gift card to purchase Services, take payment for the Services from you.

WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:
·	Name;
·	Address;
·	E-mail address;
·	Telephone number;
·	Any location or category preferences that you subscribed to in relation to the services we offer;
·	Financial credit or debit card information when you make a purchase from us;
·	Location information from the device that you are using to visit our site [or whilst using our app];
·	Information about the type of products and services you purchase from us.
·	Information about your visit to our website, including how and when you came to visit us, how you interacted with the site, and where you went next;
·	Technical information about the way that you use web and mobile services, including internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and any other technology on the devices you use to access this website;
·	Information collected from our websites and across the internet through cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, device identifiers and other technologies including information about your shopping habits and preferences;
·	Demographic information and other information provided by you; and
·	Marketing information includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our teachers and other third parties and your communication preferences.
We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.
Don’t wish to provide us with your personal data?
This is, of course, your prerogative.  However, we do need to collect your personal data to perform our contract with you, and without it, we may not be able to provide you with our services or products. In this case, we may have to cancel your order.   We hope that this is not the case, but we will notify you if this becomes necessary.

HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED?

We (and other suppliers and service providers we work with) use different methods to collect data from and about you including:
·	Direct interactions. You may give us information such as your name, address, telephone number and email address as well as other information such as website registration details and preferred means of communication so that you may apply for our products or services, create an account on our website, subscribe to our services, request marketing to be sent to you or to provide us with feedback.
·	Third parties or publicly available sources. We may collect information from teachers who advertise their products or services on our site.  For example, this may happen when you redeem a [credit] voucher or gift card issued by us or if we receive information from a teacher in relation to the delivery of services.  We also work closely with third parties providing services to us such as sub-contractors who provide technical, payment and delivery services to us to assist us with the products or services we provide to you.  We may also collect technical data from analytics providers, advertising networks and social networking platforms.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
·	Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
·	Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
·	Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.
Purposes for which we will use your personal data
We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

Marketing

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.  Where we contact you to tell you about promotional offers, we may use data from your past visits to our website to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or made purchases using our site and where you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
Online advertising and third-party marketing
Other than in relation to our teachers, who will also need to process personal data about you, we will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.
We work with online advertisers and social media platforms and advertising networks such as Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest to deliver tailored advertising to you.  We may also share online identifiers with analytics and search engines providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site.  You can choose not to allow your data to be used in this way by changing your settings within social media platforms, or as described in the privacy policies provided by these third parties.

Opting out

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by logging into the website and checking or unchecking relevant boxes to adjust your marketing preferences or by contacting us at any time.
Please be aware that where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of purchase you have made as we are required to retain some personal data by law.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.
If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may share your personal data with some third parties which is necessary for us to conduct our business affairs.  These are:
·	Teachers: as we host services provided by teachers on our website, we will need to share some information about you with them when you purchase an experience, workshop or voucher from us.  When you make a purchase, you will be entering into a separate contract with that teacher, in which case, your personal data will be collected by them also.  Where you redeem a voucher, we will also need to share your personal data with that teacher as this will be necessary for delivering these products and services to you.
·	Other teachers: occasionally a teacher may inform us that they are no longer able to fulfil your order to provide the experience or workshop.  Where this occurs, we might share your personal information with an alternative trusted teacher who uses our site who will be able to provide you with the same or similar services.
·	Other companies within our Group: we may share your data with our parent company and others in our group where we have a legitimate reason to do so.
·	Other third parties: we engage various third parties to provide specific services to us to help us run our business.  Examples of this are:
o	IT and system administration providers and website management services;
o	Payment processing (credit card and debit card) companies;
o	Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, and auditors based in the United Kingdom who provide consultancy, banking, legal and accounting services.
o	Our insurance services will be covered on a group insurance policy based in Australia although this will only relate to a very limited dataset of personal information and only where strictly necessary.
o	Online advertising related service providers providing social media platforms and advertising networks to deliver, tailor and measure advertising to you (including platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest).
o	Providers of data analytics which we partner with and whose software we use to monitor, analyse and promote customer experiences from visits to our site.  Partners such as Google Analytics and Criteo use re-targeting technologies relying on cookies or similar technologies to display advertisements based on your past browsing behavior.
o	HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities based in the United Kingdom who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
o	Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.
We require all our third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

The below companies may collect personal information when you interact with our digital property, including IP addresses, digital identifiers, information about your web browsing and app usage and how you interact with our properties and ads for a variety of purposes, such as personalization of offers or advertisements, analytics about how you engage with websites or ads and other commercial purposes.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

We share your personal data within the ClassBento Group. This will involve transferring your data outside the UK and/or the European Economic Area (EEA).  We are permitted to do this in order to provide our services to you (performance of a contract) and will ensure that we have safeguards in place to protect your personal data in accordance with UK and EU data protection legislation.
Some of our external third parties are based outside the UK and/or EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK and/or EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
·	We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.
·	Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
·	Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

DATA RETENTION

How long will you use my personal data for?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see your legal rights below for further information.
In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.   If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out below, please contact us at [email protected].
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond: We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

GLOSSARY

LAWFUL BASIS

Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.
Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
Comply with a legal obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

You have the right to:
•	Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a ‘data subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
•	Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
•	Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
•	Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
•	Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
o	If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
o	Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
o	Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
o	You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
o	Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
o	Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you require any further information regarding this Privacy Notice then please contact ClassBento by email at [email protected].
