PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERS OUTSIDE THE EEA

The EEA includes all EU countries, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.  Some of the third parties that we share personal data with may need to transfer personal data outside of the EEA, for example to the United States of America.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We retain personal data about your online account for as long as your account remains active, and for a limited period of time afterwards (in case you decide to reactivate your account or have queries about it).

We retain personal data relating to your purchases for several years from the date of the relevant transaction.  This is to understand your purchasing preferences and to meet our legal and contractual obligations.  If your purchase has enduring relevance then we’ll keep relevant information for as long as we remain responsible to you for that purchase.

Where you have asked us not to send you direct marketing, we keep a record of that fact to ensure we respect your request in future.

We keep a record of telephone recordings for 27 months and CCTV security footage for 30 days, unless we need to hold this data for longer to resolve an issue or to meet a legal requirement.

We also retain information with the potential to give rise to legal disputes for 7 years.
 

YOUR RIGHTS TO WITHDRAW YOUR CONSENT AND TO OBJECT (INCLUDING TO DIRECT MARKETING)

Wherever we rely on your consent to process personal data, you always have a right to withdraw that consent.

You also have the right to object to any use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, as well as to processing that we undertake based on our legitimate interests (including profiling).
 

YOUR OTHER PERSONAL DATA RIGHTS

In addition to your rights to withdraw your consent and to object, you have the right to ask us:

 

For access to information about your personal data or for a copy of your personal data

To correct or delete your personal data

To restrict (i.e. stop any active) processing of your personal data

To provide you with certain personal data in a structured, machine readable format and to transmit that data to another organisation

These rights may not always apply, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have a compelling legitimate interest in keeping.  If this is the case then we’ll let you know when we respond to your request (within 30 days).

HOW TO CONTACT US AND EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

The easiest way to stop receiving information from us is by opting out of communications through your online account (this is linked to in our communications with you and is accessible at times via your account settings).  You can also correct your registration details through your online account.
