Privacy policy
 

1. Introduction
This Privacy Notice explains in detail the types of personal data we may collect about you when you interact with us.

It also explains how we’ll store and handle that data, and keep it safe.

We know that there’s a lot of information here, but we want you to be fully informed about your rights, and how we uses your data. 

We hope the following sections will answer any questions you have but if not, please do get in touch with us.

2. The legal bases we rely on
The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:
 

• Consent

  In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent.

  For example, when you tick a box to receive email newsletters.


  
  By using our website or submitting any Personal Information, you consent to the collection, transfer, storage, disclosure, and use of your Personal Information in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to the use of your Personal Information in these ways, please stop using this website.
   
• Contractual obligations
  
In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations.

  
  For example, if you order an item from us for home delivery, we’ll collect your address details to deliver your purchase, and pass them to our courier. 


   
• Legal compliance
  
If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data.
  
  For example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity to law enforcement.
   
• 

Legitimate interest
  In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.


  
  For example:
  • we may use your purchase history to send you personalised offers. 
  • we also combine the shopping history of many customers to identify trends and ensure we can keep up with demand, or develop new products/services. 

  • we will also potentially use your address details to send you direct physical marketing by post covering products and services that we think might be of interest to you.

3. Security
We take the utmost care and take all appropriate steps to protect your data.
We use industry best practices to keep any information collected and/or transmitted secure. This includes the use of HTTPS with TLS (Transport Layer Security), which encrypts all transmitted data. All transactional areas of our websites operate as secure access only, using HTTPS technology and follow all guidelines from our payment gateway providers.


Our website is hosted and operated by SupaDupa (SupaDupa.me) who regularly monitor their systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and carry out regular testing to identify ways to further strengthen security.

In the case of certain products, such as electrical items, we may need to keep the data for at least 10 years for waranty and other legal purposes.

9. Where your personal data may be processed
Sometimes we will need to share your personal data with third parties and suppliers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), such as Australia, Canada or the USA.

The EEA includes all EU Member countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. We may transfer personal data that we collect from you to third-party data processors in countries that are outside the EEA. For example, this might be required in order to fulfil your order, process your payment details or provide support services. If we do this, we have procedures in place to ensure your data receives the same protection as if it were being processed inside the EEA. 

SupaDupa, the service that powers this website, is a British company with its head-office located in London, England. For the purposes of EU data protection law, the United Kingdom is considered a country which provides adequate protections for Personal Information, as confirmed by the European Commission in Commission Decision 2002/2/EC.

The service is run mainly from their offices in London. However, by the very nature of the service, the data that is viewed, collected, stored or posted on or through their platform also needs to flow from wherever you are located in the world, to where they are storing the data (i.e. in most cases, in the United States). In addition, SupaDupa also uses third-party service providers (such as managed hosting providers, card processors, sub-processors of Customer Content and technology partners) to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage and other services that we use to operate their services. These third party providers may process, or store, the same Customer Content on servers outside of the EEA, including in Canada or the US.

By continuing to use this website, or submitting any personal data, you authorise SupaDupa and its authorised service partners to use and process your Data (including any personal information you provide) in these countries. Please be aware that the privacy protections and the rights of authorities and Government agencies to access your personal information in some of these countries may not be equivalent to those in your country.

10. How “Do Not Track” requests are handled
This website does not support "Do Not Track" requests.
To determine whether any of the third-party services we use honor the “Do Not Track” requests, please read their respective privacy policies.

Additionally, if you are a EEA resident we note that we are processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the website), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above. Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside of the EEA, including to Canada and the United States.
