Companies Your Data Is Shared With and What We Share

Again – thinking bob does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. We share your data with a few selected service supplying companies. Below is a brief list of the companies we use and what data we share with them.

We use a company called SendGrid to manage our automated site emails. The only information shared is your email address and email subject which may contain your chosen ‘Display Name’. Your IP address may be collected once the email is read. This data will be stored for 30 days only.

We use a company called SendMode to send you SMS messages from our hosts related to the event you’ve signed up to. SendMode stores your phone number only and a record of messages received, for your benefit, should you wish to ask for a record of this correspondence to check GDPR compliance.

We use a company called Mailchimp to manage our marketing and email newsletter campaigns. We share with them more of your data to allow us to segment our lists accordingly. This information includes email, name, no checked in events, days since subscribed, days since first event, active membership status, cancelled membership date, if on trial, expiry / renewal date, number of upcoming events, interests, region, postcode. On reading emails sent through Mailchimp data such as your location, email client or browser may be collected along with your activity within the campaign.

We use a company called BOLT to manage all card payments and bank transactions are processed by PayPal or Stripe. Your credit card details or financial information is never stored by thinking bob.

BOLT our card handler holds the highest level of PCI compliance (Level 1).

Our Infrastructure and how we keep your data safe

All of our server’s software and technical infrastructure is kept up to date and secure.
We have also received the highest possible rating for our security by SSL Labs.

Retest our current status here

We store all passwords with a secure password hashing system, which adds a salt to the password and hashes it with multiple ‘hashing’ passes of the ‘salted’ password. This means that in the unlikely event of a data breach your password ‘value’ stored will be completely unique to us and nearly impossible to reverse engineer.
