Comply with law and protect our business and interests

Where there is a legal requirement that we must comply with, if that involves processing personal data, we will do so. For example, if we received a Court Order requiring that we provide information, we will be obliged to do so. We will also use personal information if we consider necessary to protect our business or to exercise or defend our legal rights.

Marketing purposes

If you consent to us using your personal information for marketing purposes, we will contact you, by your chosen contact channels (e.g., email, SMS or post) to let you know about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting

Personalise our interactions with you

We may also serve you with personalised content on our Website and in e-mails.

Prize draws and competitions

From time to time we might run prize draws and competitions. To administer those, we will need to process personal information about entrants.

We will also, from time to time, anonymise personal data we hold so that we can use it for analysis, research and other purposes.

What legal basis do we rely on to process your information?

Data protection law sets out a number of conditions which organisations can rely on in order to lawfully handle personal information. The conditions we rely on are as follows: -

Legitimate interests

The law permits us to handle your personal information where necessary in our legitimate interests provided that this isn’t outweighed by your interests. Many of the purposes we handle your personal information, described above, fall into this category as they are essential activities which enable us to run our business efficiently and effectively for example, enabling us to use third party service providers, to monitor, review and improve the services we provide to you and your experience when you visit our Website and to help us ensure that we communicate with you about the things that are most likely to be of interest to you. We may, if necessary, also use your information to defend our legal rights or to obtain legal advice and to manage any complaint that you might have. We ensure that your rights and interests are protected when we do this.

Consent

We are permitted to use your personal data when you give us your consent for us to do so. We will only use your personal data to contact you for direct marketing purposes if you give us your consent to do so.

 

Performance of a contract

Where you use our Website, we will use your personal information so that we can fulfil our part of the contract and to make the Website and features available to you.

 

Required by law

We will, if required by law, disclose your personal information for example in response to a court order. We will disclose your personal information if requested by a law enforcement agency or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, non-compliance with of our terms and conditions, or as otherwise permitted or required by law and consistent with legal requirements.

 

WHO WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH

Group Companies

We might share your personal information with other companies in the Tweezerman group of companies. This might be because we think its necessary to resolve your query, so that we can use shared infrastructure or for reporting purposes.

Service providers

We will not pass your personal information to anyone outside our group, except to carefully selected third parties (e.g., professional advisers and other service providers who help us run our business e.g., IT support, hosting and service providers and payment service providers.

A prospective purchaser of our business

In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets or where we are required to forward the information in order to comply with a regulatory or legal process.

Police, law enforcement and other government agencies

Where required by law, we will share your personal information with the police and other law enforcement agencies.

We will always limit the personal information we share to that which is necessary to enable them to perform their services or function. We will also always ensure that before we share your personal information with a service provider, we have entered into a contract with the service provider which requires them to keep your information secure and only use it for the purposes we permit them to. We will never sell or share your personal information with third parties for the purposes of marketing without seeking prior consent.

Social media platforms and app providers

We have integrated a number of social media platforms and app providers onto our Website. This means that your personal information will be shared with Facebook, Instagram, Google and Shopify for example. For more information, please refer to our cookie policy.

HOW LONG WE WILL KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR

We will keep your personal information for as long as we need it to provide the services and products you request from us. We may also keep it to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve complaints and to enforce our rights.  As a result, the length of time that we keep your information for will vary depending on the purposes for which we have it. In any event, we will review what information we need on an ongoing basis and will only retain it for the minimum amount of time that we need it for.

Where in the world will we hold your information?

Your personal information may occasionally be processed by third parties outside the United Kingdom and European Economic Area (EEA).

Whereas in the United Kingdom and EEA, we implement a high standard of data protection law, some parts of the world do not implement such stringent laws. As a result, if we do send personal information overseas, we will make sure that appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure it is protected in accordance with European data protection law. These might include: -

  • Sending personal information only to countries that European Authorities have indicated have adequate data protection laws in place e.g., Canada or Switzerland.
  • Putting in place contracts with the recipient containing terms which the European Authorities have approved as providing adequate protection.

For more information about where we send your information, please contact datamanager@tweezerman.com.uk
