Purposes for which we will use your personal data

 

We have set out below, in a list format, a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

 

Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out in the list below.

 

•            To provide for preferred dashboard layouts, remember if menus are open or closed and otherwise provide store functionality in the database or in cookies stored on the user web browser. This is necessary for our legitimate interests of remebering your choices as you change the display options. The information is stored in session cookies until you clear them or close the browser.

 

•            You might send us your email address specifically to sign up for our newsletter and email promotions.  We store and process this information based on your consent. We will keep using the Contact Data for 12 months from the date of the last email promotion we've sent to you with an unsubscribe option in the footer.

 

•            To register on the website, save lists of items (favourites) and to remember preferences storage of your data is necessary.            When you register we ask for your name, email address, Company name, telephone number, mobile number, fax number, resident country, gender, and communication preferences. We also ask you to store a password to allow secure login in the future.  You can maintain the details in your online account to ensure they're accurate.  You can store multiple addresses that can be listed when selecting where you want your order delivered. In performance of a contract of sale with you or in preparation for a contract of sale we must store and process these details. We will retain these details until you close your account with us. If there has been no activity for 12 months and no order history, we will delete your account unless you inform us otherwise.

 

•            Taking orders, keeping a record for warranty purposes, keeping a record for tax purposes and to collect money owed are additional reasons we keep your details.        We require your address for billing and shipping along with your name, email address, phone number, and other details that might be needed to fulfil your order.  You will also have had the option to checkout as a guest or to use a new or existing online account.  You should know that when you check out as a guest we still keep a copy of your details with the order for our records but we don't create a login record and no password is stored. We store and process this data in performance of a contract with you - contract of sale. We will retain the order history on your account until you close your account or 6 years has passed since your last order, whichever is greater.

 

•            Automated collection.                  IP addresses and browsing behaviour is collected in several ways.  We use this information in order to understand the buying behaviour on our website, to monitor the security of the website, and to improve the user experience.  This information is shared with third party processors in order to provide these services but is never sold and can't be used other than to provide these services.        Necessary for our legitimate interests (to study how customers use our products/services, to develop them, to grow our business, to inform our marketing strategy, to define types of customers for our products and services and to keep our website updated and relevant).              We retain some of these details with your account profile.  Our third-party processors also retain these details for security and quality purposes but these details are not sold and are only used for these purposes.

 

 

Marketing

 

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. You can log in to your online account to view and make certain decisions about your personal data use:

 

Promotional offers from us

 

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

 

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us or if you provided us with your details when you registered for our email promotions and / or newsletter and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

 

Opting out

 

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by logging into your account on our website and checking or unchecking relevant boxes to adjust your marketing preferences or by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time.

 

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, product/service experience or other transactions.

 

Cookies

 

Cookies and browser storage are two ways of storing data on your browser to read later.  We do not store personal data in cookies or on your browser storage.

Change of purpose

 

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

 

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

 

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

 

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

 

  1. Data retention

 

How long will you use my personal data for?

 

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

 

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

 

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are set out in the table in paragraph 4 above.

 

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

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

 

You have the right to:

 

10.1           Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

 

10.2           Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

 

10.3           Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

 

10.4           Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

 

10.5           Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

 

10.6           Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

 

10.7           Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
