Use of your data for marketing and communications

You can always make use of the Site without having to agree to market. When you join a mailing list, which is not required to use the Site, we may use personal information, like your email address, to provide marketing messages or allow us or third parties to communicate with you on third-party services.

We will always seek your consent before doing so, and you can opt out of marketing and other communications at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. The types of things that we may do include:

  • communicating with you on third-party social media platforms and sharing your information with that social media platform;
  • monitoring the effectiveness of our direct marketing communications and your responses to them.

WHO HAS ACCESS TO YOUR DATA?

We retain access to all personal information collected from you or about you.

Our product fulfilment and email marketing companies also retain some of the data (for example, your name and email are passed to our email marketing partner MailChimp so we may send product confirmation and marketing emails).
When our service is available via our partners’ websites, those partners may have access to your information. We may also have links to other websites from our Site.

We are not responsible for any other website’s content, security, privacy policies, and practices, even if you use links from this Site or can access it or services from them.

We recommend that you check the Policy of each website you visit and ensure that you are comfortable with the terms of such policies before providing any personal information.

If our business is sold or merged, or if we sell or buy any business or assets, we may disclose your data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets. We will make sure that any such transfer is done securely.

If we offer or supply a service to you provided on our behalf by a third party, we may have to pass your information to them to deliver the service.

By using this Site, you consent to us providing your information to the third parties authorized by us to provide such services. We may also use third parties to provide services on our behalf, which may include processing (but not using) your information, e.g., to complete partial addresses or to augment the information we hold about you.

In either case, we will not pass your information to anyone who is not also subject to adequate privacy commitments in our contract. Without your consent, we will not allow a third party to use your information for marketing purposes.

We will not otherwise disclose, sell or distribute your information to any third party without your permission unless we are required to do so by law or to obtain professional advice. We will retain your data as long as it is reasonable and necessary and no longer legally permitted.

PERSONAL DATA STORAGE

We maintain your data on the server of our internet service provider, email marketing company, offices, and product fulfilment centres.

Suppose you comment on this website that information is stored at our hosting company. That information includes your name, avatar, comment, the time you left the word, and ISP address.

For any Europeans using the Site, the data we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). You agree to this transfer, storing, or processing by submitting your data to us. It may also be processed by staff outside the EEA who work for us or one of our suppliers or contractors.

Territories outside of the EEA may not have equivalent legal protections to those that apply within the EEA. Still, we are obliged to ensure that our suppliers and contractors outside of the EEA continue to take all necessary steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and by this Policy. Yay, you are submitting your data to us.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorized access.

We follow strict security procedures to ensure that your personal information is not damaged, destroyed, or disclosed to a third party without your permission and to prevent unauthorized access.

The computers that store the information are kept in a secure facility with restricted physical access, and we use secure firewalls and other measures to restrict electronic access. If we work with third parties, we will require them to place similar measures to protect your information.

SHARING YOUR DATA

We may share your data as follows:

  • Third Parties Designated by You. We may share your data with third parties where you have provided your consent to do so.
  • Our Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data with our third-party service providers. They provide services such as data analysis, payment processing, information technology, related infrastructure provision, customer service, email delivery, auditing, and other similar services.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to use our Site without consenting to our marketing and communication services.

We will inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party. We always use the most recently submitted form as your current consent status.

If you are a registered user but not signed in when you submit a form, we cannot use your saved settings and deem your consent choice as per the submitted form.

You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by ticking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right anytime by contacting us at [email protected].

Your Rights:

  • Opt-out. You may contact us anytime to opt out of (i) direct marketing communications; (ii) automated decision-making and profiling; (iii) our collection of sensitive personal data; or (iv) any new processing of your data that we may carry out beyond the original purpose; or (v) the transfer of your data outside the EEA. Please note that using some of the Sites may be ineffective upon opt-out.
  • Access. You may access the information we hold about you at any time via your profile/account or by contacting us directly.
  • Amend. You can also contact us to update or correct any inaccuracies in your data.
  • Move. Your data is portable – i.e., you have the flexibility to move your data to other service providers as you wish.
  • Erase and forget. In certain situations, for example, when the information we hold about you is no longer relevant or is incorrect, you can request that we erase your data.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please get in touch with us. In your request, please make clear: (i) what personal data is concerned; and (ii) which of the above rights you would like to enforce. For your protection, we may only implement requests concerning the personal data associated with the email address you use to send us your request. We may need to verify your identity before implementing your request.

We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within one month of your request. Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes and to complete any transactions you began before requesting such change or deletion.

The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) and the GDPR (in Europe) allow you to access information about yourself. The DPA and GDPR can exercise your right to access.

*Asking us not to process your data requires us to delete your data, which is legally considered processing. So respectfully inform you that we’d have to do that one thing.

COMPLAINTS

We are committed to resolving any complaints about our collection or use of your data. If you would like to complain about this Policy or our practices regarding your data, please get in touch with us at: [email protected].

We will reply to your complaint as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days. We hope to resolve any complaint brought to our attention; however, if you feel that your complaint has not been adequately resolved, you reserve the right to contact your local data protection supervisory authority.
