We (Wood Woman) are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors to our web site and subscribers to our newsletter. 

Here you’ll find the legally required information on how we treat data that we collect from visitors to our website, or when someone subscribes to our newsletter. This policy (together with our terms of use and any other documents referred to on it) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. 

When someone visits our website we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. You can find more information on how cookies are used on this website in the Cookies Policy here.

We may collect and process the following data about you:

• Information that you provide by filling in forms on our site www.woodwoman.co.uk (“our site”). This includes information provided at the time of registering to use our site, subscribing to our service, posting material or requesting further services. We may also ask you for information when you report a problem with our site.
• If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
• We may also ask you to complete surveys that we use for research purposes, although you do not have to respond to them and these are anonymous.
• Details of your visits to our site and the resources that you access.
• Details of transactions you carry out through our site, including invoicing, collecting payment and of the fulfilment of your orders.
• When you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the website, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.” Order Information is not directly handled by us, it is managed through secure PCI compliant gateways.
• We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns and occasionally to provide targeted advertising to you based on your previous activity on our site).

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

We often take pictures of our workshops-in-progress to use on our website, social media accounts and in other promotional material. Whilst we do not require your permission or a model release form under UK law, we would prefer to do this with your approval and will assume that it is implicitly given when you attend our workshops unless you tell us otherwise.

We will not take or publish pictures of anyone under the age of 16 without permission from their parents.

We don’t collect any sensitive personal information from you. Your gender, religion, abilities, sexuality and anything else that you deem none of our business, is quite rightly none of our business. 

However, if you have any particular requirements to help you enjoy the classes as much as possible, and you would like to have some alternative support, then please feel free to get in touch in advance so that we can do our best to offer this to you.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties:

• In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
• If our business or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets.
• If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms and conditions of supply and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our business, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
• Order Information is processed through secure PCI compliant payment gateways; paypal, Cloudswipe and Realex. Their respective privacy policies can be viewed here:

As part of the registration process for our monthly newsletter, we collect personal information. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about stuff you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

We use a third party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. 

You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing woodwomanuk@gmail.com
