We may collect the following information: your email address, name, job, title, home or work address, and telephone number. Typically, you will only provide such details if you submit the contact form or web form on our website or sign up for our free newsletter or other resources, such as downloadable PDFs.
We also use analytical and statistical tools to monitor details of your visits to our website and the resources that you access, including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs, and other communication data (but this data will not identify you personally).
We use Google products, including Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google AdWords, to understand how the website is being used and improve the user experience. User data is anonymous. The data types collected include IP address, browser-generated information (e.g. browser type, operating system, date and time of access, how long a person looks at a website, etc.), and other similar information.
The legal basis for using your information is that we collect, use and are responsible for your specific personal data. When we do so, we are subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) when we do soWe. We are also subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) concerning goods and services we offer to individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA).
The information we collect and store relating to you is primarily used to enable us to provide services to you and meet our contractual commitments, including internal record keeping. In addition, we may use the information for the following purposes:
We are here to notify you about any changes to our website, such as improvements or product/service changes that may affect our service.
If you are an existing customer, we may contact you with information about products/services similar to those that were the subject of a previous sale to you and that we think may be of interest to you.

Where we store your data
Personal data may be held at our offices, on our systems, and from our third-party agencies and service providers as described above. Some of these third parties may be based outside the UK/EEA.
Transferring your data
As part of the services offered to you, for example, through our website, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your data outside the UK/EEA, as we use remote website server hosts to provide the website and some aspects of our service, which may be based outside of the UK/EEA, or use servers based outside of the UK/EEA – this is generally the nature of data stored in ‘the Cloud’. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the UK/EEA who work for one of our suppliers, e.g. our website server host, or work for us when temporarily outside the UK/EEA.
Under data protection law, we can only transfer your data to a country or international organisation outside the UK/EEA where (a) the UK government or, where the EU GDPR applies, the European Commission has decided the particular country or international organisation ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an ‘adequacy decision’); (b) there are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects; or (c) a specific exception applies under data protection law.
How long your data will be kept
We will keep your data while you have an account with us or when we provide products and/or services to you. We will not keep your data for longer than necessary.
Email tracking
Some emails we send you have no tracking in, e.g., service emails with invoices attached. Other emails include tracking so that we can tell how much traffic those emails send to our site, but we do not know who has clicked, so the data is anonymous, e.g., in our monthly newsletter. For some emails, we can track, at an individual level, whether the user has opened and clicked on links in the email. We use the latter information personally to understand open and click rates on our emails and try to improve them.
If you want to be sure that none of your email activity is tracked, you can opt out of these emails by emailing ‘UNSUBSCRIBE’ to gatekeeper@gatewaytothesoul.com.
Security
The transmission of information via the Internet or email is not completely secure. However, we have put security measures in place by installing a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) on our website, which encrypts all data submitted via the online contact forms and web forms and protects your data. We cannot guarantee data security while you are transmitting it to our site; any such transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your data, we will use our strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access.
Third-party links
You may find links to third-party websites on our website. These websites should have their own privacy policies, which you should check. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies as we have no control over them.
Use of cookies
We use cookies to gather information about your computer for our services and to provide statistical information regarding the use of our website. Such information will not identify you personally – it is statistical data about our visitors and their use of our website. We may also use a cookie file to gather information about your general internet use. Where used, these cookies are downloaded to your computer automatically. This cookie file is stored on your computer’s hard drive, as cookies contain information transferred to your computer’s hard drive.

Where we work with advertisers on our website, our advertisers may also use cookies over which we have no control.

Social buttons
You will see ‘social buttons’ on many of our website pages. These enable users to share or bookmark the web pages. There are buttons for Facebook and Instagram. There are scripts from outside Gateway to the Soul’s domain to implement these buttons and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites. You should know that these sites may collect information about what you do online, including on our website. So, if you click on any of these buttons, these sites will register that action and may use that information. Sometimes, these sites will register that you are visiting our website and the specific pages you are on, even if you don’t click the button while logging into their sites. You should check the respective privacy policies of each of these sites to see exactly how they use your information and to find out how to opt-out or delete such information if you wish.
