We may process your health data (a Special Category of personal data) as described in paragraph 2. In order to collect and process your health data we will require your explicit consent which we will always collect over the phone before we request details of your health in connection to your use of our products.

Change of purpose

Where we need to use your personal data for another reason, other than for the purpose for which we collected it, we will only use your personal data where that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

Should it be necessary to use your personal data for a new purpose, we will notify you and communicate the legal basis which allows us to do so before starting any new processing.

DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it is collected.

When assessing what retention period is appropriate for your personal data, we take into consideration:

The requirements of our business and the services provided;
Any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements;
The purposes for which we originally collected the personal data;
The lawful grounds on which we based our processing;
The types of personal data we have collected;
The amount and categories of your personal data; and
Whether the purpose of the processing could reasonably be fulfilled by other means.

If you are or become a customer, we normally retain personal for up to 13 months after the date of your last order/booking. After this point, we may contact you by email to see if you'd like to remain on our database, and delete your data thereafter if not. In certain circumstances we will retain personal data for longer where it is necessary for us to do so for compliance with regulatory or other legal obligations, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or where we agree with you to do so.

Where data is stored by the third parties listed at paragraph 6 the terms of which this personal data is held to is determined by their own privacy policy which is also listed.

DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in paragraph 4.

Customer personal information with Klaviyo Ltd who provide marketing services (https://www.klaviyo.com/privacy/dpa);
Customer personal details with Trustpilot (https://legal.trustpilot.com/end-user-privacy-terms);

Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

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 service providers 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.

TRANSFERRING INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE UNITED KINGDOM (UK)

Certain of our service providers to whom we will transfer your personal data will hold your personal data on their services located outside the UK. For example, Shopify International Limited, a company registered in Ireland, use servers located in the USA and Canada and they host our customer database. We may also share your personal data with third party service provider Mailchimp, who will hold your personal data on their servers in the USA. Apart from this, we will not ordinarily transfer the personal data we collect about you outside of the UK. However, if any third parties (including Shopify International Limited and Mailchimp) by whom your personal data are to be processed are based outside the UK so that their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK we will ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data through Adequacy Regulations made under Section 17A of the Data Protection Act 2018.
Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism to be used by us if we are to transfer your personal data outside of the UK.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place commercially reasonable and appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. For example:

we ensure your personal data is stored on secure servers;
payment details are encrypted and made using SSL technology

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

YOUR RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

Request access to your personal data. This enables you to receive details of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are processing it lawfully.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to another party.

We have the capacity to extract your personal data from our databases and provide it to you in a structured, commonly-used way (typically by .csv file).

If you wish to exercise any of your rights at any time, please contact us on the details contained at the beginning of this policy in the first instance. We will require you to verify your identity to us before we provide any personal data, and reserve the right to ask you to specify the types of personal data to which your request relates.

Where you wish to exercise any of your rights, they may be subject to payment of a nominal administration fee (to cover our costs incurred in processing your request) and any clarification we may reasonably require in relation to your request. Such fees may be charged where we consider (acting reasonably) that your request is excessive, unfounded or repetitive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT

In those circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal data for a specific purpose (for example, in relation to direct marketing that you have indicated you would like to receive from us), you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact us on the details contained at the beginning of this policy.

Where you object to and opt out of receiving direct marketing messages from us, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.
