We will be very clear with you about the reason for collecting information and how we intend to use, share and store that information at the point we collect it.

Children
The MissLolly.com website is not intended for anyone under 16. If you are under 16 please ensure you obtain your parent/guardian’s consent before sending any personal information to MissLolly.com.
Where is your information stored?
Wherever possible, all the personal information we process is processed within the European Economic Area (EEA). Some of our third-party service providers, for example Mailchimp, are based outside the EEA so their processing of your personal information will involve a transfer outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal information outside of the EEA, we do our best to make sure a similar degree of security of personal information by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- We will only transfer your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission; or
- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give personal information the same protection it has in Europe; or
- Where we use providers based in the United States, we may transfer information to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal information shared between the Europe and the US.
Sharing your information
We do not share your information with any other organisations or individuals unless we are obliged to by law, for purposes of national security, taxation and criminal investigations and in the following instances:
- If you have agreed that we may do so.
- When you become a client, we may share the information with Westminster Wealth to help set up your account
- If we run an event in partnership with other named organisations your details may need to be shared. We will be very clear what will happen to your personal information when you register.
And, we will never sell or rent your personal information to other organisations.
Retaining your information
We hold your information only as long as necessary for each reason that we use it. For example, your email address on our subscriber list will be held whilst you are a subscriber. If you become a client, your personal information, communications and phone calls will be retained for 80 years.
