HEADTURNED legal
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how HEADTURNED collects, uses, protects and manages personal information throughout the HEADTURNED Ecosystem.
This Policy applies across the HEADTURNED Ecosystem, including current and future websites, applications, platforms and digital services, unless a specific Service provides a separate privacy notice.
Our approach
Privacy should be clear, proportionate and built into every Service.
We are committed to respecting your privacy, handling information responsibly and being transparent about the information we collect and why we collect it.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms of Use and Cookie Policy.
Privacy by Design
HEADTURNED is designed around the principle of collecting only the information necessary to operate our Services. We aim to minimise data collection, avoid unnecessary tracking and give people confidence in how their information is handled.
Introduction
HEADTURNED is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who visits, accesses or uses the HEADTURNED Ecosystem.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, the legal basis for processing it and the choices available to you.
We believe privacy should be understandable. For that reason we explain our practices in clear, plain English.
