Privacy Policy

Welcome to thankyoujordanpeterson.com, a place of appreciation and gratitude. At Thank You “Jordan Peterson”, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This privacy policy sets out the basis on which we will process any Personal Data that we may collect about you as a visitor to our website. This policy further sets out how we protect your privacy and your rights in respect of our use of your Personal Data. 

 

WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?

Personal Data is information that makes it possible to identify a natural person. This includes, in particular, your name, date of birth, address, telephone number, e-mail address, but also your IP address. Anonymous data exists if no personal reference to the user can be made.

 

WHAT IS PROCESSING?

“Processing” means and covers virtually any handling of data.

 

WHAT LAW APPLIES?

We will only use your Personal Data in accordance with the UK`s Data Protection Act (“DPA”) and the EU`s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and of course only as described in this Privacy Policy.

 

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DATA PROCESSING?

The responsible party within the meaning of the above is Thank You Jordan Peterson an unincorporated association in the UK with its seat at 12 Penarth Road, Northenden, Manchester. (“Thank You “Jordan Peterson””, “we”, “us”, “our”). If you want to contact us or if you have any questions, you can reach us using admin@thankyoujordanpeterson.com.

 

WHAT ARE THE LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

We have to have at least one of the following legal bases to process your Personal Data: a) you have given your consent; b) the data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract/pre-contractual measures; c) the data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation; or d) the data is necessary to protect our legitimate interests, provided that your interests are not overridden. 

 

WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT FROM YOU?

We may collect and process the following Personal Data about you:

 

a) Personal Data that you give us:

This is information about you that you give to us by filling in forms on our website or correspond with us. It may include, for example, your name, address, email address, and telephone number. This data is collected and processed exclusively for the purpose of contacting you and processing your request and then deleted again, provided that there is no legal obligation to retain it. The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest, the provision or initiation of a contract, and your consent.

 

We store and process the Personal Data that you give us as part of a donation (typically, your name and email address) for the purpose of collection of your donation. Your donation will be processed through the payment service provider Stripe. Payment data will solely be processed through Stripe, and we have no access to any Payment Data you may submit. The legal basis for the provision of the payment system is the processing of the donation (contract) and the legal basis for the processing of your Personal Data is the establishment and implementation of the donation (contract).

 

It is also possible for you to register for an account. For this purpose, you are required to provide your username, email, name, country and password. You may also provide your age and occupation on a voluntary basis. The legal basis for processing is the provision or initiation of a user contract and your consent.

 

 

When you leave comments in our blog or a thank-you letter, your IP addresses are temporarily stored for safety and security reasons on the basis of our legitimate interests. When you leave comments in our blog or a thank-you letter, you may be able to display certain profile information, share certain details, exchange knowledge and insights, and post and view relevant content. It’s your choice whether to include Personal Data in your comment or letter and to make that Personal Data public. Please do not post or add Personal Data to your comment or letter that you would not want to be available. The legal basis for the storage of Personal Data in your comment or letter is our legitimate interest and your consent.

 

Lastly, we process data in the context of administrative tasks as well as organisation of our operations, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In this regard, we process the same data that we process in the course of providing our contractual services. The purpose and our interest in the processing lies in the administration, financial accounting, office organisation, archiving of data, i.e., tasks that serve the maintenance of our activities, performance of our tasks, and provision of our services.

 

b) Personal Data that our website and other systems collect about you: 

If you visit our website, it will automatically collect some information about you and your visit, including the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your device to the Internet and some other information, such as the pages on our site that you visit. This is used to monitor the performance of the website and improve the experience of visitors to the website. 

 

We use the hosting services of NameCrane, for hosting and displaying our website. NameCrane does this on the basis of processing on our behalf, which also means that all data collected on our website is processed on NameCrane’s servers. The basis for processing is our legitimate interest and the initiation and/or fulfilment of a contract. 

 

We use the open source Content Management System (CMS) of WordPress.Org to publish and maintain the created and edited content and texts on our website. This means that all content and texts submitted to us are transferred to NameCrane and that your contact and contract data and your usage data are stored on NameCrane’s servers. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest.

We have integrated Google Fonts by Google. To enable the display of fonts, a connection to Google’s servers is established when our website is accessed. However, this enables Google to determine which website sent the request and to which IP address the display of the font is to be transmitted. The integration is based on our legitimate interest.

 

c) Cookies 

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are pieces of information that are transmitted from our web server or third-party web servers to your web browser and stored there for later retrieval. Cookies may be small files or other types of information storage. As set out in Michigan’s privacy and consumer data protection common law and statutory requirements, the UK`s Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”) and the EU`s Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”), we need to obtain consent for the use of non-essential cookies. For further information on the cookies we use, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

 

d) General

We will only process your Personal Data as necessary so that we can pursue the purposes described above and where we have a legal basis for such processing. Where our lawful basis for processing is that such processing is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests, we will only process your Personal Data where we have concluded that our processing does not prejudice you or your privacy in a way that would override our legitimate interest. In exceptional circumstances, we may also be required by law to disclose or otherwise process your Personal Data. 

 

CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it as detailed above, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. 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.

 

DATA SHARING

In certain cases, it is necessary to transmit the processed Personal Data in the course of data processing. In this respect, there are different recipient bodies and categories of recipients.

 

Internal

If necessary, we transfer your Personal Data within Thank You “Jordan Peterson”. Access to your Personal Data is only granted to authorised employees who need access to the data due to their job, e.g., to provide our products or services or to contact you in case of queries. 

 

External bodies

Personal Data is transferred to our service providers in the following instances:

  • in the context of fulfilling our contract with you,
  • to communicate with you,
  • to provide our website, and 
  • to state authorities and institutions as far as this is required or necessary.

 

International transfers 

We may transfer your Personal Data to other companies as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In order to provide adequate protection for your Personal Data when it is transferred, we have contractual arrangements regarding such transfers. We take all reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the Personal Data we transfer.

 

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We will delete your Personal Data when we no longer need such Personal Data, for instance, where:

 

  • it is no longer necessary for us to retain your Personal Data to fulfil the purposes for which we had collected it; 
  • we believe that your Personal Data that we hold is inaccurate; or 
  • in certain cases where you have informed us that you no longer consent to our processing of your Personal Data.

 

Sometimes, however, there are legal or regulatory requirements which may require us to retain your Personal Data for a specified period, and in such cases we will retain your Personal Data for such specified period; and we may need to retain your Personal Data for certain longer periods in relation to legal disputes, and in such cases we will retain it for such longer periods to the extent required.

 

DATA SECURITY

Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as donations, login data, or contact requests that you send to us. We have also implemented numerous security measures (“technical and organisational measures”), for example encryption or need-to-know access, to ensure the most complete protection of Personal Data processed through our website. 

 

MARKETING

Insofar as you have given us your consent to process your Personal Data for marketing and advertising purposes, we are entitled to contact you for these purposes via the communication channels you have given your consent to.

You may give us your consent in a number of ways, including by selecting a box on a form where we seek your permission, or sometimes your consent is implied from your interactions or contractual relationship. Where your consent is implied, it is on the basis that you would have a reasonable expectation of receiving marketing communication based on your interactions or contractual relationship with us.

 

Our Marketing generally takes the form of email but may also include other less traditional or emerging channels. These forms of contact will be managed by us, or by our contracted service providers. Every directly addressed marketing sent by us or on our behalf will include a means by which you may unsubscribe or opt out.

LINKED SITES

For your convenience, our website may contain hyperlinks to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of linked websites or companies that are not owned or controlled by us, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. The links on our website may collect additional information in addition to the information we collect.

 

We do not endorse any of these linked websites, their products, services, or any content on their websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of each linked website you visit to understand how the information collected about you is used and protected.

 

SOCIAL MEDIA

We are present on social media based on our legitimate interest. If you contact or connect with us via social media, we and the relevant social media platform are jointly responsible for the processing of your data and enter into a so-called joint responsibility agreement. The Personal Data collected when you contact us is used to process your request, and the basis for this is both your consent and our legitimate interest.
