8. WHAT ARE THE LAWFUL JUSTIFICATIONS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA?

  1. Consent of the data subject. Consent under the GDPR requires it to be:
    1. Freely given;
    2. Specific;
    3. Informed;
    4. Unambiguous.
  2. Processing the data is necessary for the performance of a contract between us and the data subject. This allows the lawful processing of your personal data:

    2. Because you have asked us to do something before entering into a contract e.g. providing a quotation for goods or services.
  3. Processing the data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation. This requires that the legal obligation must be laid down by either UK or EU law.
  4. Processing the data is necessary for the purposes of our “legitimate interests” or those of a 3rd party including wider benefits to society. This requires us to review our legitimate interests and to ensure that they do not conflict with the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.
  5. Processing the data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or someone else. This is used where we would need to process your personal data to protect either your or another person’s life or wellbeing.
  6. Processing the data is in the public interest.

9. WHAT ARE THE ADDITIONAL JUSTIFICATIONS FOR PROCESSING SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA?

In addition to the justifications given in section 7 for ordinary personal data the GDPR lays down more stringent requirements regarding the processing of your personal sensitive data. In this regard we will only process your sensitive personal data if:

  1. You have freely given us your explicit consent;
  2. Processing is necessary to comply with any legal obligations that we may have;
  3. Processing is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another living person where you are physically or legally incapable of giving consent;
  4. Processing relates to sensitive personal data which has been manifestly made public by you e.g. posting it on social media;
  5. Processing is necessary for the purposes of preventative or occupational medicine, medical diagnosis or the provision of health and social care.

  1. Your consent
  2. It is necessary for the performance of a contract between us
  3. It is necessary to comply with a legal obligation
  4. Because it is in our legitimate interests to process it
  5. Because it is necessary to protect your or someone else’s vital interests

11. HOW LONG WILL WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

12. HOW AND WHERE DO WE STORE OR TRANSFER YOUR DATA?

We will only store your personal data in the UK or the European Economic Area which means that your data will be fully protected under the GDPR or the equivalent jurisdictional law.

13. SHARING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes unless:

  1. We are required to do so by law;
  2. We may contract with the following third parties to supply products and services to you on our behalf. 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.
    1. All our website financial transactions are handled through our payment services provider, Stripe. You can review their privacy policy at https://stripe.com/gb/privacy We will share information with Stripe only to the extent necessary for the purposes of processing payments you make via our website, refunding such payments and dealing with complaints and queries relating to such payments and refunds.

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 GDPR.

We may contract with third parties (as described above), and those third parties are located] outside of the UK or the European Economic Area. If any personal data is transferred to a third party outside of the EEA, we will take suitable steps (including seeking your explicit consent) in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR.

14. ACCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

In accordance with the GDPR you are entitled to know:

  1. If we have any personal data concerning you; and if so
  2. What data we hold.

Accessing such data or finding out if we have any data concerning you is known as a “subject access request” (SAR). SARs should be made in writing and sent via either email or post to the contact details given below. We have a standard Subject Access Request form for you to use which can help in making the request clear. However, you do not have to use this form if you do not wish to.

There is normally no charge for a subject access request. However, the law allows us to make a reasonable charge to cover our administrative costs if your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests).

We will respond to your subject access request within 1 calendar month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.

15. COOKIES POLICY

Cookies are small text files that we store on your computer whilst you are visiting our website. There are 4 basic types of cookie:

  1. Session cookies – allow websites to link your actions during a specific session – these cookies expire when the session is ended.
  2. Persistent cookies – these are stored on your device between sessions and they allow your choices and browsing history across the site or across multiple sites to be recorded. These cookies can be used to target advertising. They will remain on your device unless you either delete them or they time expire
  3. First party cookies – these are cookies set by our website.
  4. Third party cookies – these are cookies set by a domain different from our site whilst you are using our site.

Since 2011 there has been a requirement for us to obtain subscribers’ or users’ consent to the use of certain types of cookie. There are 4 categories of cookie that can be used:

  1. “Strictly necessary” cookies – these are normally first party session cookies that are essential for you to be able to use all the features of our website. These cookies enable the services that you have requested and as such consent is not required for these. However, the law narrowly defines “strictly necessary” and restricts them to those cookies that store a unique identifier that manages and identifies you in respect of other current users of the site so that a consistent and accurate service can be provided. These cookies will not be used for marketing purposes or for remembering your preferences and ID outside of the current session. 
  2. “Performance” cookies – these are cookies that may be either first or third party, session or persistent and are used to collect information about how you use the site but they do not collect any personal information that could identify you. The information is made anonymous by aggregating it together so that we can improve the performance of the site. Examples may include web analytics, advertising response rates, affiliate tracking, and error management but they should not be used to retarget adverts – if they do then they will need to be classified under category 4 as well. We need your consent for the use of these cookies during your session.
  3. “Functionality cookies” – these are cookies that may be either first or third party, session or persistent and will generally be the result of your actions where they will remember the choices that you have made. They may also be used to deliver a service that you have not explicitly requested but is being offered to you. They can also be used to prevent you being offered a service that you have previously rejected. These cookies should not be used to retarget adverts – if they do then they will need to be classified under category 4 as well. We need your consent for the use of these cookies during your session.
  4. “Targeting or advertising” cookies: these are cookies that are normally 3rd party persistent (but time limited) cookies that are used to deliver adverts that are more relevant to you by collecting information about your browsing habits. Where these are being used as part of an advertising network that collects browsing habits in order to target relevant adverts to you we will advise you of such. We need your consent for the use of these cookies during your session.

You are in control of the use of cookies. With regards to cookies then you can normally control these via your browser. Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third-party cookies. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.

If you are happy to continue with our use of cookies as detailed above on this site, then we require your informed consent as we do not rely on “implied consent” as some other sites do. You will therefore have to “Accept Cookies” in order to have full use and functionality of our site.
