We know how much data security matters to all our customers. With this in mind we will treat your data with care and take all appropriate steps to protect it. We secure access to all transactional areas of our websites and apps using ‘https’ technology. Access to your personal data is password-protected, and sensitive data (such as payment card information) is secured by SSL encryption. We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we constantly review our process to identify ways to further strengthen security.

7. HOW LONG WILL WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

Personal data that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes. Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

At the end of that retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymised, for example by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.

In some cases it may not always be possible for us to specify in advance the periods for which your personal data will be retained however we will determine the period of retention based on the following criteria:

(a) We will retain information contained in any enquiry that you submit to us regarding products or services. In circumstances where you (or your business) have not become a customer of ours we would retain the information contained in the enquiry for our future reference for a period of five years;

(b) We will retain information that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our offers and emails for as long as you have consented to receive such communications; and

(c) The period of retention of contractual data will be determined based on whether there is an ongoing relationship between us and on our assessment of whether we may need that data to comply with our legal obligations or for our legitimate business interests.

8. WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH?

We sometimes share your data with trusted third parties, for example delivery couriers, fraud management, to handle customer enquiries and complaints, to help us personalise our offers to you and so on.

We respect your privacy and do not share your details with other retailers who may seek to use your details for commercial benefit.

We apply the following policy whenever we deal with any third parties in order to maintain your privacy:

(a) We only provide them with information essential for their specific services.

(b) They may only use your data for the exact purposes we specify in our contract with them.

(c) Any third parties we deal with must provide proof of their compliance with the latest GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

(d) We work closely with them to ensure that your privacy is respected and protected at all times.

(e) If we cease working with them, any of your data held by them will either be deleted or rendered anonymous.

Examples of companies we work with:

- IT companies who support our business and website.

- Operational companies that help fulfil our contracts with the customers i.e. delivery companies and couriers.

- Data insight companies to ensure your details are up to date and accurate.

- Direct marketing companies to ensure we can communicate our offers with you efficiently depending on your mailing preferences.

Sharing your data with third parties for their own purposes:

We will only do this in very specific circumstances, for example:

• For fraud management, we may share information about fraudulent or potentially fraudulent activity in our premises or systems. This may include sharing data about individuals with law enforcement bodies.
• We may also be required to disclose your personal data to the police or other enforcement, regulatory or Government body, in your country of origin or elsewhere, upon a valid request to do so. These requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and take the privacy of our customers into consideration.

9. WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS OVER YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

Your principal rights under General Data Protection Regulation are:

(a) the right to access;

(b) the right to rectification;

(c) the right to erasure;

(d) the right to restrict processing;

(e) the right to object to processing;

(f) the right to data portability;

(g) the right to complain to a supervisory authority; and

(h) the right to withdraw consent.

You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal data and, where we do, access to the personal data, together with certain additional information. That additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the personal data. Providing the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, we will supply to you a copy of your personal data. Access to the personal data we hold about you, is free of charge in most cases.

You have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personal data about you completed.

In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal data without undue delay. Those circumstances include: the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal data have been unlawfully processed. However, there are certain general exclusions of the right to erasure. Those general exclusions include where processing is necessary: for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the personal data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection. Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal data for this purpose.

To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is consent, and such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

If you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by written notice to us, in addition to the other methods specified in this section.
