Privacy Policy

Our privacy policy outlines the methods The Third Leap uses to gather information across our website and associated digital platforms where this policy is applicable. This encompasses apps, widgets, or any online services that display this policy.

Your privacy is crucial to us. We manage your personal data according to the descriptions provided in this policy. ‘Personal data’ refers to any details that could identify you personally, collected in accordance with data protection regulations. It’s important to be aware that our website includes links to external sites, such as social media platforms including Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Google+, Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter, each possessing their own privacy policies. By engaging with our services, you accept our practices of collecting, using, and sharing your information as per the terms outlined in this privacy policy.

WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?

At The Third Leap, we collect the info we need to provide you the services you ask for, including:

Subscribing to our monthly newsletter;
Joining in on forums, research groups, or community panels on our websites or other digital platforms;
Participating in promotions and surveys;
Inviting you to special events and activities hosted by us and our partners;
Processing purchases of our merchandise or items from other brands we work with.

To deliver these services, depending on what you sign up for, we might need details like your name, email address, mobile device ID, payment card info (for online purchases), your home address (to send you stuff), and your opinions if you join in forums or answer survey questions.

We also gather data to help produce and market our digital and film content. This could include direct details like your name and address if you’re featured in our content, or indirect stuff like your image captured during filming.

Whenever you visit our site or interact with our content online, we collect usage data. This includes your browser type, operating system, which parts of our site you explore, the content you look at, and when. We also track your online identifier (that’s the unique ID for your device).

If you fill out an application or send us your CV, we collect information like your name, address, past employers, etc. If you’re applying for a job or a freelance gig with us, you might also do online tests or interviews, and we’ll need extra info, including about your immigration status or any criminal records.

Lastly, we use cookies to gather data while you browse. For more details on this, check the section about Cookies later on.

TL;DR

We collect the details necessary to provide you with all the cool stuff we offer, like newsletters, forums, and merchandise. This can include basic info like your name and email, and sometimes more specific things if you buy something or take part in certain activities. We also track how you use our site to make our content even better. If you’re looking to work with us, we might need to know even more about you. Plus, remember, cookies help us learn about your preferences as you browse our site, which we explain more in the cookies section.

WHERE DO WE COLLECT YOUR DATA FROM?

Directly from you: This includes the info you provide when using our website, signing up for our services, applying for a job at The Third Leap, or while participating in the production of our digital and film content.
Social media interactions: Our site includes features like social media widgets (e.g., Instagram ‘like’ or X ‘tweet’ buttons) that can also collect your data when used.
Third-party sources: As mentioned, we also get usage data through cookies from other sites. More details on this can be found in the ‘Do we use Cookies to collect personal data on you?’ section below.

HOW AND WHY WE USE YOUR DATA?

TL;DR

We use your personal info to make sure you get the most out of our services, like sending you newsletters you subscribe to, or making sure you can buy and receive our merchandise. We also use your details to make our services better tailored to you, like showing ads you might actually want to click on. If you talk to us or interact with our content on social media, we use that info to understand what you like and manage our pages better. We also need to check that everything’s correct when you sign up and make sure our terms are followed. Lastly, we analyze the data to improve what we do and figure out if you might be a good fit for a job with us.

THE LEGALITY OF IT ALL

When we process your personal data, we not only need to inform you about what data we are handling but also the legal reasons (lawful bases) we have for doing so. Here are the different lawful bases we rely on and when we use them:

Contract Lawful Basis: This applies when you sign up for specific services, like buying merchandise from The Third Leap. In simple terms, we process your data because it’s necessary to fulfill the contract we have with you.
Consent Lawful Basis: We collect and use your personal data for marketing purposes only if you’ve given us permission. This means you’ve agreed to receive things like email updates, SMS alerts, and social media notifications about our deals and special offers. We also need your consent for processing any sensitive personal data (like health, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs) unless an exception under data protection laws applies. The same goes for non-essential cookies—we need your okay here too.
Legitimate Interests Lawful Basis: Sometimes, we process your data because it’s necessary for our legitimate interests. This could be for reasons like improving our websites or investigating if someone has broken our terms of use. When we say ‘legitimate interests’, we mean we’ve thought carefully about whether our processing impacts your rights and freedoms and have concluded it doesn’t outweigh our reasons for processing your data. If you want more details on this, feel free to reach out to us.

TL;DR

If you buy something or sign up for a service, we need your details to get you what you ordered (that’s the Contract part). If you’ve told us it’s cool to send you updates and offers, we’ll use your info for marketing (that’s Consent). Sometimes, we also use your info to make our services better or keep them safe—that’s when we’re acting on Legitimate Interests, but we make sure it doesn’t mess with your rights. And on rare occasions, we might bypass some usual rules for things like journalism or art, depending on what the law says.

COOKIES

We use cookies to collect your personal data when you browse. This allows us to to provide better service to you on our websites. For more information here is a link to our cookie policy.

DOES YOUR DATA GET TRANSFERRED OUTSIDE UK/ EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA?

Yes, sometimes your personal data may be processed outside the United Kingdom (UK) or the European Economic Area (EEA), in countries that might not have the same data protection laws as the UK or EEA. However, we make sure that your data is just as safe as it would be at home. We do this by using specific safeguards when transferring your data internationally.

Specifically, we ensure that any transfer of your personal data outside the EEA adheres to appropriate safety measures. This includes transferring data only to countries recognized by the EEA as having sufficient data protection laws. We might also utilize specially crafted agreements with our service providers located in non-EEA countries, providing your personal data with protection equivalent to that in the EEA. Moreover, when engaging with service providers in the United States, we transfer personal data only to those enrolled in the Data Privacy Framework Program, ensuring they meet EEA-like standards of data protection.

YOUR RIGHTS

Under the law, you have several rights regarding your personal data. You can get more information and guidance on these rights from the data protection authority in your country.

Right to be informed: You have the right to clear and easily understandable information about how we use your data and your rights. This privacy policy is part of our effort to keep you well informed.
Right of access: You can access your data that we process and obtain other relevant details (like those we’ve mentioned in this policy). This ensures that you can verify our compliance with data protection laws. For more information or to access your data, please click here.
Right to rectification: If your information is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected.
Right to erasure: Often called the ‘right to be forgotten,’ this right allows you to request the deletion of your data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. Note, this right is not absolute and applies only in certain circumstances.
Right to restrict processing: You can block or limit further use of your data. While restricted, we can store your data but not use it in operations. We maintain lists to ensure that any restrictions are honored.
Right to data portability: You can transfer, copy, or move your personal data between different services or platforms without hindrance, ensuring its usability remains intact.
Right to object: You can object to certain forms of data processing, including direct marketing, which we perform only with your explicit consent.
Right to lodge a complaint: You can file a complaint with your national data protection regulator if you are unhappy with how we handle your data.
Right to withdraw consent: If you’ve given us consent to process your data, you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the legality of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor does it affect the processing of your personal data conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

TL;DR

You’ve got a lot of power over your personal data! Whether you want to know more about how we use your info, access it, correct it, or even delete it, the law backs you up. You can also object to how we use it (especially for marketing), or complain to authorities if something feels off. Plus, if you ever change your mind about giving us permission to use your data, you can take that back anytime.
