To summarise the privacy section here:

Jim Corr and his website designer Charles Paxton aren’t asking you for any more of your data or asking to use it differently.

He has just updated his Privacy Policy to clarify:

  A)  what data we collect from you, Jim only needs the information that he asks you to provide him with to book your toy fair table or attend the toy fair events. That’s all. If you want to Like his Facebook page and stay in touch through later life, that’s up to you, and it’s fine with Jim.

   B)  how he uses this data. He may use traders’ and shoppers’ contact details that they give him to contact them about forthcoming toy fair events and to notify them of the schedule and he doesn’t use visitors’ personal data for any purpose other than relavant communication with them.

and

  C) your rights regarding our treatment of your data.  You have the following rights to privacy regarding your data:

1.YOUR RIGHT TO VIEW ANY PERSONAL DATA THAT JIM or I MAY HOLD ABOUT YOU

The Data Protection laws give you the right to access information held about you, if any is held. Any access request may be subject to a fee of up to £20 to meet costs in providing you with details of the information (if any) that Jim holds about you and any information request must be accompanied by acceptable proof of your identity. Jim won’t just give your data to any one who asks for it. It may very well cost nothing to provide that information to you. He’ll verify important or complex instructions with you before acting on them. Please note that it may well be the case that we  cannot oblige you with any information about yourself. I know no personal information about website visitors unless they make comment about a Fair or interact with my Facebook or other social media. Even then I can only know what you tell me about yourself. On Facebook you can remove any comments made yourself. This is the Opt-in information age. The new law guarantees your power to change your mind and be in control of how your data is used. It’s powerful. You can opt out when you want and take your data with you.

SECURITY of DATA TENURE

We recognize that it’s our duty not to treat your data irresponsibly, to protect digital and analogue equipment that enables our business and take back-up measures. Jim may also keep written contact information about traders off-line. This is very necessary to guard against electronic equipment failure.  This also goes for my website designer and his files, Charles Paxton of thewebcat.biz.

2.YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE SOME OR All DATA I MAY HOLD ABOUT YOU DELETED

In the event that you’d like some or all your data deleted or your data taken off-line if it is online, please make your request to us jointly in writing and we’ll verify the details of your request with you to prevent mistakes, and then serve your request faithfully. It could be that you’d prefer not to feature in a photograph, or have your table mentioned in a flyer or in a past article, or something like that. Please ask, and we’ll be happy to oblige.  We may ask for proof of identity in some acceptable form to ensure we aren’t deleting someone else’s data who would like to retain it.

3. YOUR RIGHT TO MOVE YOUR DATA OFF MY SERVER

We won’t impede your right to move data to a rival toy fair or website either, or from the wrong place on the site to the right place, I think those are applicable examples of this right to move data away from where it might currently be.

4. INFORMATION IN EVENT OF DATA SECURITY BREACH

Data breaches can happen to even large organizations such as banks and govt. offices. If I become aware of theft or loss of your data from hacking or equipment failure or any other possibility I shall endeavour to alert you as soon as possible. Please alert me if you become aware of such a risk, such as losing your notebook or lap-top or falling victim to a Phishing fraud or something like that, that might have security implications for us. We'd be grateful to be alerted. You are entitled to be alerted within 72 hrs by GDPR rules of a breach and we’re expected to be alert for them.

Please note that Jim can also be contacted by phone or SMS.

Please note that you can improve your security by not using the same password for different purposes and changing your passwords regularly and using complex and random ones. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you notice anything suspicious about the operation of this, or any sites that I made or manage. Thank you.

As I said you don’t have to do anything to enable greater rights to the protection of your data, that is granted by law. We still hope that all website visitors will adhere to our terms of use though. You can access them from our Legal page.
