Who we share your personal information with

We routinely share your name, contact details and delivery address details with our third-party suppliers such as Huboo (https://www.huboo.co.uk). We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party suppliers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

This data sharing enables them to despatch the goods you ordered directly to you.

We will share personal information with law enforcement or other authorities if required by applicable law.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

Whether information has to be provided by you, and if so why

We require you to provide your name, address, delivery address and exceptionally sensitive personal information such as allergy information to enable us to ensure your health and safety in relation to the goods and/or services delivered to you. We will inform you at the point of collecting information from you, whether you are required to provide the information to us.

Data security

We take care to ensure the security of your personal data in use, storage and transmission and that it is only accessed by verified persons who have the necessary authority. All of our people who have access to your personal data are obliged to respect the confidentiality of this information and we deliver training to make sure this happens.

Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology.

We have 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.

Data retention  

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, financial, or reporting requirements.

In general, unless still required in connection with the purpose(s) for which it was collected and/or is processed, we remove your personal data from our records usually once a transaction is completed unless different retention periods apply.

Where we anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) we may use this information for research or statistical purposes indefinitely without further notice to you.

If you request to receive no further contact from us, we will keep some basic information about you to comply with your request and avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future.

International transfers of your personal information

From 1 January 2021, the UK is considered a ‘third country’ by the EU for data protection purposes.

International transfers must be given additional safeguards. This is on top of the existing measures we have in place for international transfers outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).

Data transfers from us to EEA countries

We can still send personal data to the EU/EEA, Gibraltar and other countries deemed “adequate” by the EU. They have adequate protection by the UK Government under the new arrangements. We will always do so securely in accordance with UK GDPR principles.

Data transfers to us from EEA countries

Because the UK is currently deemed a ‘third country’, the EU require additional protection when transferring personal data to the UK.

We use the Standard Contractual Clauses to make sure that data transfers are secure and lawful. These are EU approved terms to facilitate the continued exchange of personal data.

Data transfers from the CIPD to countries outside the EEA

Some of our applications, services and products use service providers outside of the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK. We may have to transfer some of your data to these providers so you can use our website and products.

Appropriate measures and controls (including technical) are in place to protect the transfer of your data.

Transfer of data is made in accordance with the requirements of Regulations (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and may be based on the use of the European Commission’s Standard Model Clauses for transfers of personal data outside the EEA.

By using our website, products or by interacting with us in the ways described in this privacy policy, you consent to the transfer of your data outside the EEA in the circumstances set out in this privacy policy.

If you do not want your data to be transferred outside the EEA you should not use our website or products or services. 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.

We would like to send you information about our products and services, competitions, and special offers, which may be of interest to you. Where we have your consent or it is in our legitimate interests to do so, we may do this by post, email, telephone, text message (SMS) or automated call.

We would also like to share your information with selected Prime Pass Partners so that they may send you information about their products and/or services, depending on what you agree with us.
