Our legal basis for processing your personal information

When we use your personal information we are required to have a legal basis for doing so. There are various different legal bases upon which we may rely, depending on what personal information we process and why.

The legal bases we may rely on include:

  • consent: where you have given us clear consent for us to process your personal information for a specific purpose;
  • contract: where our use of your personal information is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract;
  • legal obligation: where our use of your personal information is necessary for us to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations);
  • legitimate interests: where our use of your personal information is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party (unless there is a good reason to protect your personal information which overrides our legitimate interests).

Sharing your personal data

We routinely share data with our internal and external third party suppliers, including:

  • our personnel who provide Services to you on our behalf;
  • service providers providing IT and system administration services, such as the hosting
    provider of our Website;
  • service providers providing payment processing software;
  • service providers providing analytics services, such as Google Analytics;
  • the application store provider, e.g. Apple;
  • third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Policy.

This data sharing enables these third parties to perform functions on our behalf that are required in order to provide you with our Services.

Some of those third party recipients may be based outside the United Kingdom (UK) or European Economic Area (EEA). For further information including on how we safeguard your personal data when this occurs, see the section ‘Transfer of your information out of the EEA’.

We will share personal information with law enforcement or other authorities if required by applicable law.

We will not share your personal information with any other third party.

Whether information has to be provided by you, and if so why

We require you to provide Identity Data and Contact Data to enable you to purchase Services and to enable us to fulfil orders you placed. We will inform you at the point of collecting information from you, whether you are required to provide the information to us.

Transfer of your information out of the UK/EEA

We may transfer your personal information to our third party suppliers (see ‘Sharing your personal data’, above) based in countries outside of the UK or EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK or EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • we will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data;
  • where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the UK/EEA which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK/EEA.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK/EEA.

Keeping your personal information secure

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of our Website or our App, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

How long we keep your personal information

We keep your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which the information was collected.

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Your Rights below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your rights

Under data protection laws you have a number of important rights free of charge. In summary, those include rights to:

  • fair processing of information and transparency over how we use your use personal information;
  • access to your personal information and to certain other supplementary information that this Policy is already designed to address;
  • require us to correct any mistakes in your information which we hold;

  • object to decisions being taken by automated means which produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you;
  • object in certain other situations to our continued processing of your personal information;
  • otherwise restrict our processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.

For further information on each of those rights, including the circumstances in which they apply, see the Guidance from the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) on individuals’ rights under privacy laws.

If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please:

  • email, call or write to us;
