Privacy Policy

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. 

So You’ve Been Dumped (‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’) strive to comply with our obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): 

  • by keeping personal data/information up-to-date; 
  • by storing and destroying it securely;

Our policy embraces the principles of the GDPR and, as in all aspects of our business, we will keep you informed and be transparent about how we gather and use your information.​ 

PERSONAL DATA OR INFORMATION – WHAT IS IT?

Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information we hold or are likely to hold. Personal data includes paper data, e.g. written correspondence. The processing of personal data is governed by the GDPR.

We may collect and process the following data from you:

  • your name/username

  • password (we do not have access to your password)
  • any personal information that you post on our website
  • any personal information that you provide to us via email, Messenger, SMS, ‘phone or in writing.
  • if you contact us, we may keep a record of that conversation and/or correspondence.
  • we may ask you to complete surveys that we use for research purposes, although you do not have to respond to them.

WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA/SECURITY

Information you provide to us electronically is stored on our servers. We have security measures in place to keep your personal data safe. For example, our login pages are protected with HTTPS and a padlock in the address bar. 

Please note that you must keep your username and password secret.

Access to your data by SYBD personnel is on a ‘need to know’ basis and will be kept confidential.

We don’t have any access to your payment details as we don’t enter into any payment transactions directly. Any payment you make to us via our website is automatically directed to PayPal whereupon their own Privacy Policy applies –  we do not accept any responsibility or liability for such policies.

Unfortunately, despite the measures that we have taken to the contrary, the transmission of any information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our utmost to protect your personal data as described above, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will always notify the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and we will take steps to notify you if we believe that your personal data has been compromised.
