5. How and why do we use your personal data?

We want to give you the best possible customer experience. One way to achieve that is to get the richest picture we can of who you are by combining the data we have about you. We then use this to offer you invites to events, products and services that are most likely to interest you.

The data privacy law allows this as part of our legitimate interest in understanding our customers and providing the highest levels of service. Of course, if you wish to change how we use your data, you’ll find details in the ‘What are my rights?’ section below.

Remember, if you choose not to share your personal data with us, or refuse certain contact permissions, we might not be able to provide some services you’ve asked for.

Here’s how we’ll use your personal data and why:

· To respond to your queries, refund requests and complaints. Handling the information you sent enables us to respond. We may also keep a record of these to inform any future communication with us and to demonstrate how we communicated with you throughout. We do this on the basis of our contractual obligations to you, our legal obligations and our legitimate interests in providing you with the best service and understanding how we can improve our service based on your experience.

safeguard your account. We will also monitor your browsing activity with us to quickly identify and resolve any problems and protect the integrity of our websites. We will do all of this as part of our legitimate interest.

For example, by checking your password when you login and using automated monitoring of IP addresses to identify possible fraudulent logins from unexpected locations.

6. Combining your data for personalised direct marketing

We want to bring you invitations to events, and product details that are most relevant to your interests at particular times. To help us form a better, overall understanding of you as a customer, we combine your personal data gathered across George Pragnell as described above.

7. How we protect your personal data

We know how much data security matters to all our customers. With this in mind, we will treat your data with the utmost care and take all appropriate steps to protect it. We regularly monitor our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we carry out penetration testing to identify ways to further strengthen security.

8. How long will we keep your personal data?

Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

At the end of that retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymised, for example by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.

Some examples of customer data retention periods:

Orders

When you place an order, we’ll keep the personal data you give us indefinitely (or unless requested otherwise by yourselves) so we can comply with our legal and contractual obligations and provide a record if needed by customers for insurance purposes.

9. Who do we share your personal data with?

We sometimes share your personal data with trusted third parties for legitimate purposes.

For example, for fraud management, to handle complaints, or to help us personalise our offers to you. In these instances, we demand these organisations keep your data safe and protect your privacy:

· We provide only the information they need to perform their specific services.

· They may only use your data for the exact purposes we specify in our contract with them.

· We work closely with them to ensure that your privacy is respected and protected at all times.

· If we stop using their services, any of your data held by them will either be deleted or rendered anonymous.

Examples of the kind of third parties we work with are:

· Our payment processing companies who process payments on our behalf

· IT companies who support our website and other business systems.

· Operational companies such as delivery couriers.

· Direct marketing companies who help us manage our electronic communications with you.

· Data insight companies to ensure your details are up to date and accurate.

· Consultants who assist us in our marketing activities.

Sharing your data with third parties for their own purposes:

We will only do this in very specific circumstances, for example:

· For fraud management, we may share information about fraudulent or potentially fraudulent activity in our premises or systems. This may include sharing data about individuals with law enforcement bodies.

· We may also be required to disclose your personal data to the police or other enforcement, regulatory or Government body, in your country of origin or elsewhere, upon a valid request to do so. These requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and take the privacy of our customers into consideration.

· We may be asked to share data with our suppliers. We will only do so with your prior consent.

· We may, from time to time, expand, reduce or sell George Pragnell and this may involve the transfer of divisions or the whole business to new owners. If this happens, your personal data will, where relevant, be transferred to the new owner or controlling party, under the terms of this Privacy Notice.

10. Where your personal data may be processed

Sometimes we will need to share your personal data with third parties and suppliers outside the United Kingdom, such as Switzerland, Australia or the USA.

International orders

If you are based outside the UK and place an order with us, we will transfer the personal data that we collect from you to George Pragnell in the UK.

Protecting your data outside the UK

We may transfer personal data that we collect from you to third-party data processors in countries that are outside the UK. For example, this might be required in order to fulfil your order, process your payment details or provide support services.

If we do this, we have procedures in place to ensure your data receives the same protection as if it were being processed inside the UK. For example, our contracts with third parties stipulate the standards they must follow at all times.

Any transfer of your personal data will follow applicable laws, and we will treat the information under the guiding principles of this Privacy Policy. In the case of transfers to Switzerland, this is based on the UK Government having assessed that the data protection laws of Switzerland afford an adequate level of protection of personal data.
