OTHERS WHO MAY RECEIVE OR HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Our suppliers and service providers

We may disclose your information to our third party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other organisations for the purposes of providing services to us or directly to you on our behalf. Such third parties may include cloud service providers (such as hosting and email management), advertising agencies and administrative services.

When we use third party service providers, we only disclose to them any personal data that is necessary for them to provide their service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it other than in accordance with our specific instructions.

Credit/debit card payment processors

When you purchase any products or services online, your credit/debit card payment is processed by a third party payment processor, who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions, please contact us using the details at the end of this policy.

Other ways we may share your personal data

We may transfer your personal data to a third party as part of a sale of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation. We may also transfer your personal data if we’re under a duty to disclose or share it in order to comply with any legal obligation, to detect or report a crime, to enforce or apply the terms of our contracts or to protect the rights, property or safety of our visitors and customers. We will always take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

Where you ask us to share your personal data with a third party (e.g. your insurer), we will not be responsible for how that third party uses your personal data.

We will never sell your personal data to a third party and only share it will third parties (as described above) when it is necessary for us to do so in order to provide our service to you.

WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers which are located within the United Kingdom (UK) and European Economic Area (EEA).

If at any time we transfer your personal data to, or store it in, countries located outside of the UK and EEA (for example, if our hosting services provider changes) we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for that transfer and storage as required by applicable law. This is because some countries outside of the UK and EEA do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in the UK and EEA.

HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR

If we collect your personal data, the length of time we retain it is determined by a number of factors including the purpose for which we use that information and our obligations under other laws. We do not retain personal data in an identifiable format for longer than is necessary. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

We may need your personal data to establish, bring or defend legal claims.  For this purpose, we may retain your personal data for 7 years after the date it is no longer needed by us for any of the purposes listed under How we use your personal data above. The only exceptions to this are where:

·       we may delete your personal data sooner if we believe it necessary;

 

·       the law requires us to hold your personal data for a longer period, or delete it sooner;

 

SECURITY AND LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our website and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we put in place reasonable and appropriate controls to ensure that it remains secure against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorised access.

Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access an account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Our website may contain links to other websites run by other organisations. This policy does not apply to those other websites‚ so we encourage you to read their privacy statements. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites even if you access them using links that we provide. In addition, if you linked to our website from a third party website, we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners and operators of that third party website and recommend that you check the policy of that third party website.

MARKETING

We may collect your preferences to receive marketing information directly from us by email, SMS, automated calls or other means in the following ways:

·              if you register an account with us online, we will ask you if you would like to provide your consent to receive marketing information directly from us; or

·              if you make a sales enquiry or place an order we may contact you with marketing information in the ways mentioned in the notices presented to you, except where you indicate you would prefer otherwise,

 

and we will only do so if you have consented to received such marketing information directly from us.

 

We may contact you with targeted advertising delivered online through social media and platforms operated by other companies, by phone, mail or any other medium by using your personal data, or use your personal data to tailor marketing to improve its relevance to you, unless you object.

We will only share your information with our third party partners for them to contact you with marketing information about their products and services where you have indicated that you would like us to do so. Please use the link on the page requesting your consent to find out more about these third parties. Once shared, the relevant third party’s privacy policy will apply to their processing of your personal data, not ours. If you’d like to opt-out of receiving marketing from a third party after providing your consent, you can do so at any time by contacting the relevant third party directly.

If you do not complete a purchase and have not indicated that you would prefer otherwise, we may send a reminder to you about your incomplete purchase.

From time to time, we may ask you to refresh your marketing preferences by asking you to confirm that you consent to continue receiving marketing information from us.

You have the right to opt-out of our use of your personal data to provide marketing to you in any of the ways mentioned above. Please see Withdrawing your Consent and Objecting to our use of your personal data and automated decisions made about you above for further details on how you can do this.

YOUR RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data under data protection law. In relation to certain rights, we may ask you for information to confirm your identity and, where applicable, to help us to search for your personal data. Except in rare cases, we will respond to you within one month from either (i) the date that we have confirmed your identity or (ii) where we do not need to do this because we already have this information, from the date we received your request.

·         Accessing your personal data

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information that we hold about you by emailing or writing to us at the address at the end of this policy. No fee is payable and we will provide any and all information in response to your request free of charge unless your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive in which case we may charge a reasonable fee. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. We may not provide you with a copy of your personal data if this concerns other individuals or we have another lawful reason to withhold that information.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

You will be required to provide evidence of your identity in order to receive your personal data or have your personal data removed. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

·         Correcting and updating your personal data

The accuracy of your information is important to us and we are committed to making it easy for you to review and correct the information that we hold about you.

In the meantime, if you change your name or address/email address, or you discover that any of the other information we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please let us know by contacting us in any of the details described at the end of this policy.

·         Withdrawing your consent

Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing your personal data, as set out under How we use your personal data, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details at the end of this policy.  If you would like to withdraw your consent to receiving any direct marketing to which you previously opted-in, you can do so using our unsubscribe tool. If you withdraw your consent, our use of your personal data before you withdraw is still lawful.

·         Objecting to our use of your personal data and automated decisions made about you

Where we rely on your legitimate business interests as the legal basis for processing your personal data for any purpose(s), as set out under How we use your personal data, you may object to us using your personal data for these purposes by emailing or writing to us at the address at the end of this policy. Except for the purposes for which we are sure we can continue to process your personal data, we will temporarily stop processing your personal data in line with your objection until we have investigated the matter. If we agree that your objection is justified in accordance with your rights under data protection laws, we will permanently stop using your data for those purposes. Otherwise we will provide you with our justification as to why we need to continue using your data.

You may object to us using your personal data for direct marketing purposes and we will automatically comply with your request. If you would like to do so, please use our unsubscribe tool.

If we carry out any automated processing, you may also contest a decision made about you based on automated processing by contacting us on the details at the end of this policy.

·         Erasing your personal data or restricting its processing

In certain circumstances, you may ask for your personal data to be removed from our systems by emailing or writing to us at the address at the end of this policy. Unless there is a reason that the law allows us to use your personal data for longer, we will make reasonable efforts to comply with your request.

You may also ask us to restrict processing your personal data where you believe it is unlawful for us to do so, you have objected to its use and our investigation is pending or you require us to keep it in connection with legal proceedings.  In these situations we may only process your personal data whilst its processing is restricted if we have your consent or are legally permitted to do so, for example for storage purposes, to protect the rights of another individual or company or in connection with legal proceedings. 

·         Transferring your personal data in a structured data file

Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing your personal data or need to process it in connection with your contract, as set out under How we use your personal data, you may ask us to provide you with a copy of that information in a structured data file. We will provide this to you electronically in a structured, commonly used and machine readable form, such as a CSV file.

 

You can ask us to send your personal data directly to another service provider, and we will do so if this is technically possible. We may not provide you with a copy of your personal data if this concerns other individuals or we have another lawful reason to withhold that information.

·         Complaining to the UK data protection regulator

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (the “ICO”), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
