This could include information from third parties that we work with to provide our products and services, such as payment processors, delivery companies and technical support companies. Whenever we receive information about you from these third parties, we will let you know what information we have received and how and why we intend to use it.

We take data protection seriously, so below we have set out exactly how and why we use your information, and what our legal basis is to be able to use your information in each way.

Supplying our products

It is necessary for us to use personal information about you when you purchase our products. If you represent a business, we have a legitimate interest to use your personal information in this way in order to fulfil your order. If you are an individual (including sole traders), our lawful basis for using your information in this way is that it is necessary for our performance of our contract with you.

Using your information in this context is necessary so that we can:

• Provide you with information about your contract with us
• Provide you with information about our products
• Administer your order and take payments
• Verify your identity
• Deal with any complaints you may have
• Contact you about any changes that we make to our products

Telling you about other products or services that we think may be of interest to you

We may use your information to identify and tell you about our products that we think may be of interest to you. If you represent a business we may send you these messages without your prior consent, but you may update your preferences at any time by contacting us. If you are an individual (including sole traders), we will only do this where you have informed us that you would like to receive marketing communications.

We may also use your information to invite you to participate in market research. If we do contact you about market research, you do not have to participate. If you tell us that you do not want to receive market research communications, we will respect this.

Whether you choose to receive marketing communications, or market research communications is entirely up to you. You can choose to receive both, none, or just one or the other. Your choice will not affect any products or services that you have purchased from us, nor will it affect any quotes for products or services you buy in future.

Telling you about products or services that are similar to ones that you have already bought

If you have already bought products from us, or you have already obtained a quote from us, we may contact you with some information about products that are similar, and we have a legitimate interest to use your information in this way.

You can choose not to receive these messages at any time by simply following the instructions in the message, or contacting us.

Making our business better

We always want to offer the best products and customer experience that we can. Sometimes this means we may use your information to find ways that we can improve what we do, or how we do it. In this context, we will rely on the lawful basis of legitimate interests and will only use your information where it is necessary so that we can:

• Review and improve our products and services
• Review and improve the performance of our systems, processes and staff (including training)
• Improve our website to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer

Contacting you

We may need to contact you in various circumstances, whether this is to respond to your questions, let you know about important changes to our products or simply to keep in touch. Where you have purchased our products this may be necessary for the performance of our contract with you (or your business, otherwise, we will contact you only where we have a legitimate interest to do so.

[If you enquire about, or apply for, a job vacancy, it is necessary for us to use your personal information as part of the recruitment process, in order to assess your suitability for a particular role.]

Verifying your identity

We may use your information where it is necessary for us to do so in order to meet our legal obligations or to detect and prevent fraud, money-laundering and other crimes.

Protecting you and others from harm

We may use your information where it is necessary to protect your interests, or the interests of others, in accordance with our legal obligations and the pursuit of legitimate interests. This may include in the event of criminality such as identity theft, piracy or fraud.

Change of purpose

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

Sharing your information within our company

We share the information that you provide to us with our staff so that we can manage our business and supply our products.

Sharing your information with third parties

We may share your data with selected third parties. For example, we may share your information with:

• Web hosting and IT service providers, to manage and host our website
• Contact management systems to send emails and other correspondence
• Payment service providers, where necessary, in order to take and process payments

There are certain exceptional circumstances in which we may disclose your information to third parties. This would be where we believe that the disclosure is:

• Required by the law, or in order to comply with judicial proceedings, court orders or legal or regulatory proceedings
• Necessary to protect the safety of our employees, our property or the public
• Necessary for the prevention or detection of crime, including exchanging information with other companies or organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction
• Proportionate as part of a merger, business or asset sale, in the event that this happens we will share your information with the prospective seller or buyer involved

We will store your personal information only for as long as we need it, for the purposes for which it was collected.

Where we have an ongoing relationship with you, such as where you (or your business) are a supplier or customer of ours, we will retain the information that you provide to us at least for as long as we deem necessary.

When you provide us with any payment details (for example, where you make a payment via our website) we will store this information only for as long as necessary in order to take the payment. In most cases, this information is processed directly by the payment service provider, and we will not store or have access to full payment details that are sufficient to take a payment from your account.

If you apply for a job vacancy (or otherwise send us your CV) we will retain your CV (and any publicly available information that we may collect, for example from social media) for as long as we deem necessary.

In all other circumstances, such as where you contact us via our website, we will keep your information for as long as we deem necessary.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy.

We try to ensure that all information you provide to us is transferred securely via the website. [Before submitting any personal information through our websites (or any other websites), we recommend that you check for the padlock symbol in your browser, and “https” in the URL.] 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 website; 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.

Our website is managed by maxweb and all information you provide to us via our website is stored on third party secure servers in the UK with Heart Internet.
