The above table does not apply to special category personal information, which we will only process with your explicit consent.

We may use your personal information to send you updates (by email, text message, telephone or post) about our products and services, including exclusive offers, promotions or new products and services. We keep a tracking of your spend on our platform to see if you can benefit from our exclusive loyalty programs or offers.

We have a legitimate interest in processing your personal information for promotional purposes (see above ‘How and why we use your personal information’). This means we do not usually need your consent to send you promotional communications. However, where consent is needed, we will ask for this consent separately and clearly.

We will always treat your personal information with the utmost respect and never sell it with other organisations for marketing purposes.

You have the right to opt out of receiving promotional communications at any time by changing your marketing preferences in “My Account” or by unsubscribing at the bottom of each email received or by writing emailing us - see below: ‘How to contact us’;

We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you instruct us to provide further products and services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.

We routinely share personal information with:

• third parties we use to help deliver our products and services to you, eg payment service providers, warehouses and delivery companies;

• other third parties we use to help us run our business, eg marketing agencies, website hosts and the partners and brands we work with;

• third parties approved by you, eg social media sites you choose to link your account to or third party payment providers;

• credit reference and anti-fraud agencies;

• courier and delivery companies;

• marketing tools providers that help us to enable our marketing;

• performance marketing and recommendations providers and research companies;

• IT/technology support providers;

• advertisers for marketing purposes; and

• third party service providers to enrich data.

We only allow our service providers to handle your personal information if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your personal information. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers relating to ensure they can only use your personal information to provide services to us and to you. We may also share personal information with external auditors.

We may disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

We may also need to share some personal information with other parties, such as potential buyers of some or all of our business or during a re-structuring. Usually, information will be anonymised but this may not always be possible. The recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations.

Information may be held at our offices and those of our third party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above (see above: ‘Who we share your personal information with’).

Some of these third parties may be based outside the European Economic Area. For more information, including on how we safeguard your personal information when this occurs, see below: ‘Transferring your personal information out of the UK and EEA’.

We will keep your personal information while you have an account with us or we are providing products and services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary:

• to respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf;

• to show that we treated you fairly;

• to keep records required by law.

We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal information.

To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information outside the UK and/or European Economic Area (EEA), eg:

• with our offices or other companies within our group located outside the UK/EEA;

• with your and our service providers located outside the UK/EEA;

• if you are based outside the UK/EEA;

• where there is an international dimension to the services we are providing to you.

These transfers are subject to special rules under European and UK data protection law. This means we can only transfer your personal information to a country or international organisation outside the UK/EEA where:

• the European Commission has issued an ‘adequacy decision’ in relation to that country or international organisation; or

• there are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects; or

• a specific exception applies under data protection law

These are explained below.

The European Commission has the power to determine whether a country or international organisation provides an adequate level of protection for personal information and, if it does, to issue an ‘adequacy decision’. The effect of such a decision is that personal information can flow from the UK/EEA to that country without any further safeguards being necessary.

It can take several years for the European Commission to issue an adequacy decision and only a small number of countries currently benefit from one.

We may transfer your data to a third country or international organisation on this ground where we are satisfied the transfer complies with data protection law, appropriate safeguards are in place, and enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are available for data subjects.

The safeguards will usually include using standard data protection contract clauses approved by the European Commission.

In the absence of an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, we may transfer personal information to a third country or international organisation where an exception applies under relevant data protection law, eg:

• you have explicitly consented to the proposed transfer after having been informed of the possible risks;

• the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between us or to take pre-contract measures at your request;

• the transfer is necessary for a contract in your interests, between us and another person; or

• the transfer is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

We may also transfer information for the purpose of our compelling legitimate interests, so long as those interests are not overridden by your interests, rights and freedoms. Specific conditions apply to such transfers and we will provide relevant information if and when we seek to transfer your personal information on this ground.

You have the following rights, which you can exercise free of charge:

Access : - The right to be provided with a copy of your personal information (the right of access)

Rectification : - The right to require us to correct any mistakes in your personal information

To be forgotten : - The right to require us to delete your personal information—in certain situations

We have appropriate security measures to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed unlawfully. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to access it.

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

We hope that our Data Protection Officer can resolve any query or concern you may raise about our use of your information.

The General Data Protection Regulation also gives you right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the European Union (or European Economic Area) state where you work, normally live or where any alleged infringement of data protection laws occurred. The supervisory authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner who may be contacted at https://ico.org.uk/concerns or telephone: 0303 123 1113.
