Where we store your personal data

The personal data that we collect from you will be stored only at destinations inside the European Economic Area (“EEA“) and the United Kingdom if the United Kingdom is not considered to fall within the EEA. To comply with our legal or contractual requirements it may also be transferred to and processed by staff operating outside the EEA or the United Kingdom who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details or the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing outside of the EEA. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

When making such transfers, we will take steps to ensure that your personal information is adequately protected and transferred in accordance with the requirements of the Act and the GDPR. This typically involves the use of data transfer agreements in the form permitted under data protection law (i.e. the European Commission’s Standard Model Clauses). If there is no data transfer agreement in place, we may use other mechanisms recognised by data protection law as ensuring an adequate level of protection for personal information transfer outside the EEA and the United Kingdom.

Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL/TLS technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the Sites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share any password with anyone.

We keep your information protected by taking appropriate technical and organisational measures to guard against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction or damage. For example:

  • all information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers and designated database system;
  • we have implemented safeguards in relation to access and confidentiality in order to protect the information held within our systems; and
  • we frequently carry out risk assessments and audits to monitor and review threats and vulnerabilities to our systems to prevent fraud.

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 data transmitted to our Sites; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Your rights

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually 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 for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at the address given at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Our Sites may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

Data subject access rights

The Act gives you the right to access information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the Act. We’ll usually share this with you within 30 days of request. Where applicable, other data subject rights will be available to you, including where you are able to:

  • access and obtain a copy of your personal data on request;
  • require us to change incorrect or incomplete personal data;
  • require us to delete or stop processing your personal data, for example where the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes of processing;
  • object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on its legitimate interests as the legal ground for processing; and
  • ask us to stop processing personal data for a period if that personal data is inaccurate or there is a dispute about whether or not your interests override our legitimate grounds for processing personal data; and
  • exercise the right to data portability, where the processing is carried out to enter into a contract with you and is in respect of the processing carried out by automated means (as elaborated upon below).

Please note that if we ever rely on your consent in order to lawfully process your personal data and then you subsequently withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data for purposes set out in this privacy policy, we will stop processing that personal data and we and we may not be able to provide you with access to all or certain parts of our services.

If you consider our use of your personal information to be unlawful, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK’s supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office. Please see further information on their website: www.ico.org.uk
