4. What is Personal Data?

Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU

particular by reference to an identifier’.

Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables

name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such
as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online
identifiers.

5. What Are My Rights?

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

a) The right to be informed about our or 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.

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

c) 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.

d) 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.

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

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

g) 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.

h) 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

7. How Do You Use My Personal Data?

Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data.
This may be because the data is necessary for our

  • Providing and managing your Account;

    to enable us to continually improve Our Site and your user experience.

With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use your

Third Parties (including Cloud IQ & AdButler) whose content appears on
Our 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 do not control the activities
of such third parties, nor the data that they collect and use themselves,
and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any
such third parties.

We use the following automated systems for carrying out
certain kinds of decision-making and profiling. If at any
point you wish to query any action that we 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 to find out more using the details in Part 15.

  • The following automated decision-making method(s) may be used:

We rely on ID3 to automatically verify the age of our customers to ensure
everyone who purchases from us is over 18 years old. We take your first
name, last name, date of birth and billing address to verify your age
against multiple sources.

8. 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. Your personal data
will therefore be kept for the following periods (or, where there is no
fixed period, the following factors will be used to determine how long it
is kept):

  • Your data including, addresses, emails and phone numbers will be kept
    for a maximum of 6 months before its erased from our systems. By
    continuing use of your account held with us this 6 month period will
    automatically extend from the date you last used your account.
  • You always have the right to ask us to immediately erase your personal
    information from our systems and this will be completed within 24 hours
    of your request.

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

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

We share your data within the group of companies of which we are a part of. Where this involves the transfer of personal
data outside the EEA, our 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

10. Do You Share My Personal Data?

We 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 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.

11. How Can I Control My Personal Data?

11.1 In addition to your rights under the GDPR, set out in Part 5, 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 emails from us me 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).

11.2 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 receive.

12. Can I Withhold Information?

You may access certain areas of Our Site without providing
any personal data at all. However, to use all 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 Part 14.

13. 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 Part 15.

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.

We will respond to your subject access request within 48
hours and, in any case, not more than one week 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.
