This Privacy Policy applies only to your use of Our Site. Our Site may contain links to other websites. Please note that we have no control over how your data is collected, stored, or used by other websites and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any such websites before providing any data to them.

What is Personal Data?

Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) 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, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious 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.

What Are My Rights?

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data. This Privacy Policy should tell you everything you need to know, but you can always contact us to find out more or to ask any questions using the details in Part 15.

The right to access the personal data we hold about you. Part 13 will tell you how to do this.

The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete. Please contact us using the details in Part 15 to find out more.

The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we have. Please contact us using the details in Part 15 to find out more.

The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.

The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.

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 in many cases.

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 Part 15.

Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or 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.

How Do You Use My Personal Data?

Under the GDPR, [we] OR [I] must always have a lawful basis for using personal data.

Third Parties (including <<insert details of third parties whose content appears on the site>>) whose content appears on [Our] OR [My] Site may use third-party Cookies, as detailed below in Part 14. Please refer to Part 14 for more information on controlling cookies. Please note that [we] OR [I] do not control the activities of such third parties, nor the data that they collect and use themselves, and [we] OR [I] advise you to check the privacy policies of any such third parties.

[[We] OR [I] use the following automated system[s] for carrying out certain kinds of [decision-making] AND/OR [profiling]. If at any point you wish to query any action that [we] OR [I] take on the basis of this or wish to request ‘human intervention’ (i.e. have someone review the action themselves, rather than relying only on the automated method), the GDPR gives you the right to do so. Please contact [us] OR [me] to find out more using the details in Part 15.

[<<add further items as required>>].

How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?

[[We] OR [I] will only store or transfer your personal data in the UK. This means that it will be fully protected under the GDPR.]

[[We] OR [I] will only store or transfer your personal data within the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). The EEA consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. This means that your personal data will be fully protected under the GDPR or to equivalent standards by law.]

[[We] OR [I] may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that [we] OR [I] will take additional steps 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 as follows.

[[We] OR [I] share your data within the group of companies of which [we are] OR [I am] a part. Where this involves the transfer of personal data outside the EEA, [our] OR [my] group ensures that personal data is protected by requiring all companies within the group to follow the same rules with respect to personal data usage. These are known as “binding corporate rules”. More information on binding corporate rules is available from the European Commission.]

[[We] OR [I] share your data with external third parties, as detailed below in Part 10, that are based outside of the EEA. The following safeguard[s] [is] OR [are] applied to such transfers:

[[We] OR [I] will only transfer your personal data to countries that the European Commission has deemed to provide an adequate level of personal data protection. More information is available from the European Commission.]

[[We] OR [I] use specific contracts with external third parties that are approved by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data to third countries. These contracts ensure the same levels of personal data protection that would apply under the GDPR. More information is available from the European Commission.]

AND/OR

[Where [we] OR [I] transfer your data to a third party based in the US, this may be protected if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield. This requires that third party to provide data protection to standards similar to those in Europe. More information is available from the European Commission.]

Please contact [us] OR [me] using the details below in Part 15 for further information about the particular data protection mechanism used by [us] OR [me] when transferring your personal data to a third country.]

The security of your personal data is essential to [us] OR [me], and to protect your data, [we] OR [I] take a number of important measures, including the following:

<<describe specific measures in place>>.

Do You Share My Personal Data?

[[We] OR [I] will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to one important exception.

In some limited circumstances, [we] OR [I] may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if [we are] OR [I am] involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.]

[[[We] OR [I] may share your personal data with other companies in [our] OR [my] group for <<insert description of purpose(s)>>. This includes [subsidiaries] AND/OR [[our] OR [my] holding company and its subsidiaries.]]

[[We] OR [I] may sometimes contract with the following third parties to supply certain [products] AND/OR [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] OR [I] hold.

<<insert name and details of third party, including the purpose(s) for which personal data is shared and where the third party is located>>.

<<add more third parties as appropriate>>.

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

[If any personal data is transferred outside of the EEA, [we] OR [I] will take suitable steps 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, as explained above in Part 9.]

How Can I Control My Personal Data?

In addition to your rights under the GDPR, set out in Part 5, when you submit personal data via [Our] OR [My] Site, you may be given options to restrict [our] OR [my] use of your personal data. In particular, [we] OR [I] aim to give you strong controls on [our] OR [my] use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from [us] OR [me] which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in [our] OR [my] emails [and] OR [,] at the point of providing your details [and by managing your Account]).

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.

Can I Withhold Information?

You may access [certain areas of] [Our] OR [My] Site without providing any personal data at all. [However, to use all features and functions available on [Our] OR [My] Site you may be required to submit or allow for the collection of certain data.]

You may restrict [our] OR [my] use of Cookies. For more information, see Part 14 [and [our] OR [my] Cookie Policy <<Insert Link>>].

How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data [we] OR [I] have about you, you can ask [us] OR [me] 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 Part 15. [To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use. You do not have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell [us] OR [me] everything [we] OR [I] 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] OR [my] administrative costs in responding.

[We] OR [I] will respond to your subject access request within [<<insert period (less than one month)>> and, in any case, not more than] one month of receiving it. Normally, [we] OR [I] 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] OR [I] receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of [our] OR [my] progress.
