How long do we keep hold of the information?
There are certain reasons that we have to keep hold of some of your information. Naturally we keep your information while you are registered with us so that we are able to provide the service to you but we also keep it after you've left us, though only for as long as we need it. How long we keep it depends very much on the type of information we are holding and the purpose for which we need it. We also have to take into account our legal obligations in respect of how long we keep that data. You can request that we delete your personal information at any time.
Will we share your information with anyone else?
Only if…
- You specifically request this, such as when you submit information to enquire about jobs or submit a job application through thebestdrumbooks.com
- We are required to do so to comply with the law or with the directions of the courts or other authorities
- We feel it is reasonably necessary to prevent illegal activity or to protect our interests
- We feel that other thebestdrumbooks.com companies products and services may interest you
- It helps our trusted third party service providers to provide and improve our service to you or to carry out surveys and user analysis to understand your needs and preferences. We will also share your information with Active Campaign, who securely
- host emails and act as a supplier to distribute our newsletter. We contractually require these service providers to keep your personal information safe and secure. These trusted third parties would only be permitted to use your personal information for the purposes we specify.
- As at April 2018, we currently don’t share any info with third parties that is not anonymised. However, if we do in the future we will list them in this privacy policy and we will notify you of this change to our privacy terms.
- We may share some broader statistics and customer profiling information with third parties and other thebestdrumbooks.com companies - but we'll keep it anonymous, so you won't be identifiable from that data.
- We will never rent or sell our user's details to any other organisation or individual.

How will we make sure our site is secure?
We follow strict security procedures to manage how your personal information is stored, used, who sees it and to help stop any unauthorised person getting hold of it. All personal information you register with thebestdrumbooks.com will be located behind a firewall.

Will we transfer any personal information outside the EU?
Countries outside the European Union may have a lower standard of protection for personal information than that required by EU data protection laws. The information we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored, outside the EU (including for example in the United States) and may also be processed by people operating outside the EU who work for us or one of our suppliers. If we need to transfer your data to a company based outside the EU (e.g. if our hosting company is based in the US), we'll take steps to make sure your personal data is handled in line with EU law. Please see the table of our suppliers in the "Will we share your information with anyone else?" section above which sets out whether they are based inside or outside the EU. If you would like any more details on this please get in contact with us.
