4.1 What is Personal Data?

Personal data is defined by the Data Protection Laws as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’. 

Personal data is, essentially, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers that can be linked back to you.

 

5. What Data Do We Collect and How Do We Use It?

We process your personal information for a number of different purposes. For each purpose, we must have a legal basis for such processing. Please revert to Appendix 1 for more detail around each of our processing activities. 

When relying on legitimate interests for processing your personal information, we will balance the legitimate interest pursued by us and any relevant third party with your interests and rights in relation to the protection of your personal information. We will do this to ensure it is appropriate for us to rely on such legitimate interest and to identify any additional steps we need to take to achieve the right balance.

In some situations, we may share your personal information with other parties. We have listed below the parties with whom we may share your personal information.

5.1 Direct Marketing

With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting you by email with information, news, and offers on our products or services. We will always work to fully protect your rights and comply with our obligations under the Data Protection Laws and ePrivacy Law, and you will always have the opportunity to opt-out. 

Third parties whose content appears on our Site may use third-party Cookies. Please refer to our Cookie Notice for more information.

5.2 How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?

We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected.

We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

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, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you, and thus ceases to constitute personal data) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

 

6. Security

Information provided through our website is stored on our secure servers or those of any third-party we engage to provide our IT platform, and is encrypted using standard technology, adhering to UK legislation.  We limit access to your personal information to employees and contractors who need access to enable us to process your information.  They are only permitted to process your information 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.  We will notify you and any applicable regulator (for example the Information Commissioner's Office) where we are legally required to do so.

Where we have given you, or you have chosen, a password which enables you to access your account or certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping the password confidential and must not share it with anyone. You are responsible for any actions carried out using your password except where there has been fraud.

7. Do You Share My Personal Data and if so, to whom?

We do share your personal data with third-parties in some limited circumstances, for example, as highlighted in the table at Appendix 1, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.

We may also sometimes contract with the following third-parties to supply certain services. These may include payment processing, delivery, and marketing. In some cases, those third-parties may require access to some or all of your personal data that we hold.

  • Adyen Payment Gateway (Netherlands)
  • DPD (UK)
  • Facebook (US)
  • FedEx (US)
  • GeoTargetly (US)

If any of your personal data is required by a third-party, as described above, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data is handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the third party’s obligations under the law, as described above in Section 9.

If any personal data is transferred to the EEA, it will be protected under the Data Protection Laws.

If any personal data is transferred outside of the UK or the EEA, we will take suitable steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be under the Data Protection Laws within the UK and under the Data Protection Laws in the EEA. Please contact us if you would like more information on what legal mechanisms we rely on when transferring your personal data outside of the UK or the EEA, emailing us at gdpr@tangleteezer.com.

 

8. How Can I Control My Personal Data?

  1. In addition to your rights under the Data Protection Laws, set out in Section 9, when you submit personal data via Our Site, you may be given options to restrict our use of your personal data. In particular, we aim to give you strong controls on our use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving direct marketing emails from us, which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in our emails and at the point of providing your details and by managing your Account).
  2. You may also wish to sign up to one or more of the preference services operating in the UK: The Telephone Preference Service (“the TPS”), the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (“the CTPS”), and the Mailing Preference Service (“the MPS”). These may help to prevent you receiving unsolicited marketing. Please note, however, that these services will not prevent you from receiving marketing communications that you have consented to receiving.

8.1 Can I Withhold Information?

To use all the features and functions available on Our Site you may be required to submit or allow for the collection of certain data.

You may restrict our use of Cookies. For more information, see our Cookie Notice.

 

9. What Are My Rights?

Under the Data Protection Laws you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold, and if you are not subject to the Data Protection Laws you may have other rights. It is important to note that there may be instances in which we are unable to fulfil your request in part or in full and in such circumstances, we will revert back to the original requester, explaining why we are unable to proceed.

However, please note that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure, for example where retention is necessary to comply with our obligations, resolve disputes etc. Please contact us using the details in Section 12 to find out more.
  • The right to restrict (i.e., prevent) the processing of your personal data.
  1. The right to withdraw your consent in the context of any consent-based processing of your personal data. 
  1. The right to object to us using your personal data in the context of direct marketing and where processing is on the grounds of legitimate interest. In some cases, we may refuse your request to object to our processing of your personal data. This is in circumstances where we can demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your personal data which outweighs any prejudice to your rights and freedoms
  1. The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business.
  2. Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling - we do not use your personal data in this way.

For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in Section 12.

Further information about your rights can also be obtained from your local data protection regulator (Supervisory Authority) which in the UK is the Information Commissioner’s Office (contact details can be accessed in Section 12).  You could also contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau. 

If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, if you are in the UK or the rest of the world (other than the EEA).  If you are in the EEA, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Supervisory Authority in your home country. In any event if you do have an issue we would like to resolve it with you first.  Please contact us using the details set out in Section 12.

 

10. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Section 12. To make this as easy as possible for you, when you contact us we will provide you with a Subject Access Request Form to fill our and send back to us. You do not have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell us everything we need to know to respond to your request as quickly as possible.

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding, alternatively, we reserve the right, at our discretion to not respond to such requests.

We will aim to respond to your subject access request usually within one month but can take up to three months from the date of the request in case your request is ‘complex’, unless there is a pause permitted under Data Protection Laws and regulatory guidance, in which case it may be longer in both cases.  In any case you will be kept fully informed of our progress and the status of your request.
