- WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT?
Personal data – GDPR applies to ‘personal data’ meaning any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier (as explained in Article 6 of GDPR). For example name, passport number, home address or private email address. Online identifiers include IP addresses and cookies.
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together:
- Identity Data: first name, last name, username.
- Contact Data: email address, telephone number/s, home address (only if required for certain deliveries).
From our website, we may also collect and use aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data. Aggregated data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. E.g. we may aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific web page. However, if we combine aggregated data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.
We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
If you fail to provide personal data
Where we need to collect your personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel an order you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
- HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We generally collect personal data directly from yourself or from a business colleague (for example if they have given us your contact details or copied you on an email).
You may give us your identity and/or contact data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal data you provide when you:
- Enquire about our products or services by email or telephone;
- Create an account on our website;
- Subscribe to our publications;
- Request product or marketing information to be sent to you.
We may also collect personal data indirectly, but only from publicly available sources such as a website where an email address is listed.
- HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
- Performance of Contract this means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
- Legitimate Interest this means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best products and/or service. We consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests.
