We are The Foundation Stage Forum Limited. We are registered at WaterCourt, 65 High Street, Lewes, BN7 1XG. If you have any questions about anything in this policy please contact us by emailing customer.service@eyfs.info. Our data protection officer is called Lauren Foley and can be contacted directly by emailing dpo@eyfs.info.

How do we store your data and who do we share it with?
The tapestry.info website is hosted on servers based in the United States. We are the controllers of this data. We have a Data Processing Agreement which includes the Standard Contractual Clauses covering transfers of data outside the EU, UK, and Switzerland.
We use Google to collect, analyse, and store the data gathered from cookies and other tracking technologies. We also use it (YouTube) to store and display some videos on our site. We will tell them if you take out a free trial although we do not pass on any details you give us when signing up for the trial e.g. your email address. This may mean that some data is transferred outside of the country you are based in. In order to do this, they rely on the model contract clauses for data transfers approved by the EU. The data processed by Google will not include any personally identifying information but will include statistical data for establishing patterns.
We use Wistia to store and display and videos some videos on our site. This may mean that the data is transferred outside of the country you are based in. If they do that, they remain liable and will take appropriate measures to protect your privacy and the Personal Information they transfer.
We use Simplecast to host our podcasts. If you listen to our podcasts we will share the data described in ‘What data do we collect and when?’ with Simplecast. They are based in the US so data shared with them will be transferred outside of the EU. This does not include any personally identifiable information. They may share non-personally-identifiable information with third-parties.
We use Mailjet to store a list of who has signed up to our newsletter and to send newsletters out. We are the data controllers of your data. They are data processors. That means we are responsible for their behaviour, that they will not do anything without our instructions and that we have a written agreement with them that confirms that. They are ISO27001:2013 certified. They will only process your personal information within the European Economic Area (EEA).
We use HubSpot to store a list of who has entered giveaways and signed up for further emails. We are the data controllers of your data. They are data processors. That means we are responsible for their behaviour, that they will not do anything without our instructions and that we have a written agreement with them that confirms that. The data will be stored on HubSpot servers in Germany but some processing may happen in the United States. If data is transferred out of the EU, it will be processed in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (collectively, the “Data Privacy Framework”).
We have reviewed privacy policies of the companies listed above and are content that they will handle your data in an appropriate way.
Preventing more data from being collected and deleting the existing data we have for you
If you no longer want cookies to be enabled on your device, you can block them from within your browser.
If you decide you no longer want to receive our newsletter or other further emails you can unsubscribe at any point. You will be able to do that from any of emails you receive, or by emailing us at customer.service@eyfs.info. Your personal information will then be removed from Mailjet/HubSpot and the relevant records we hold. That can take up to 5 working days to be processed, so if you unsubscribe on the day the next email is meant to go out, you will likely still receive it.
