2. What Does This Notice Cover?
This Privacy Information explains how we use your personal data: how it is collected, how it is held, and

your personal data.
3. What is Personal Data?
Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection
Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) as ‘any information relating
to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in
particular by reference to an identifier’.
Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you
that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information
such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious
information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other
online identifiers.
The personal data that we use is set out in Part 5, below.
4. What Are My Rights?
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:
a)
The right to be informed about our collection
and use of your personal data. This Privacy Notice should tell you everything
you need to know, but you can always contact us to find out more or to ask any questions using the details in Part
11.
b)
The right to access the personal data we hold
about you. Part 10 will tell you how to do this.
c)
The right to have your personal data rectified
if any of your personal data held by us is
inaccurate or incomplete. Please contact us
using the details in Part 11 to find out more.
d)
The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask
us to delete or otherwise dispose of
any of your personal data that we have. Please contact us using the details in Part 11 to find out more.
e)
The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the
processing of your personal data.
f)
The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.
g)
The right to data portability. This means that,
if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a
contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to
re-use with another service or business in many cases.
h)
Rights relating to automated decision-making and
profiling. We do not use your
personal data in this way.
For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined
above, please contact us using the
details provided in Part 11.
Further information about your rights can also be obtained
from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice
Bureau.
If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have
the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

- Telephone number;
- Payment information;
- Information about your preferences and
interests;
6. How Do You Use My Personal Data?
Under the GDPR, we must
always have a lawful basis for using personal data. This may be because the
data is necessary for our performance
of a contract with you, because you have consented to our use of your personal data, or because it is in our legitimate business interests to use
it. Your personal data will be used for one or more of the following purposes:
·
- Providing and managing your account.
·
- Supplying our products and services to you. Your personal details
are required in order for us to
enter into a contract with you.
·
- Personalising and tailoring our products and services for you.
·
- Communicating with you. This may include
responding to letters, emails or calls from you.
·
- Supplying you with information by telephone, email and/or post that you have opted-in to (you may
unsubscribe or opt-out at any time by notifying us in writing).
With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use your personal data for
marketing purposes, which may include contacting you by email, telephone or post with
information, news, and offers on our products or services. You will not be sent any
unlawful marketing or spam. We will
always work to fully protect your rights and comply with our obligations under the GDPR and the
Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, and you
will always have the opportunity to opt-out.
7. How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?
We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is
necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Your
personal data will therefore be kept for the following periods (or, where there
is no fixed period, the following factors will be used to determine how long it
is kept):
We annually review personal data kept and will
proactively delete records no longer required providing we are permitted to do
so within the law.
8. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My
Personal Data?
We will only store
or transfer your personal data in the UK. This means that it will be fully
protected under the GDPR.
9. Do You Share My Personal Data?
We may sometimes
contract with the following third parties to supply products and/or services to you on our behalf.
These may include payment processing and delivery suppliers. In some cases,
those third parties may require access to some or all of your personal data
that we hold.
If any of your personal data is required by a third party, as
described above, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data is
handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the third party’s
obligations under the law, as described above in Part 8.
If any personal data is transferred outside of the EEA, we will take suitable steps in order to
ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it
would be within the UK and under the GDPR, as explained above in Part 8.
In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which
might include yours, if we are involved
in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the
instructions of a government authority.
10. How Can I Access My Personal Data?
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data
and for a copy of it (where anysuch personal data is held). This is known as a
“subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent
to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 11. There is not normally any charge for a
subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’
(for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our
administrative costs in responding.
We will respond to your subject access request within 15
working days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your
personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your
request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three
months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed
of our progress.
