  1. Our legal basis for using your personal data

So that we can process your personal data for the purposes set out above, we rely on the following legal bases:

Legitimate interest

The legal basis we rely on to use your personal data is that it is necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests. Our legitimate interest for using your personal data is so that we are able to:

  • fulfil our obligations to you as a customer or supplier;
  • provide you with information about goods and services that we, or selected third parties, feel may interest you;
  • provide you with a personalised and functional experience both online and offline; and
  • operate our administration services effectively.

Our legitimate interest is therefore our commercial interest. However, our legitimate interest is also in your interest as our use of your personal data allows us to provide a more effective and efficient service to our customers and suppliers. We use your personal data in a way that has a minimal impact on your rights and only in ways that you would reasonably expect considering the nature of our goods and services.

Contracts

We also use your personal data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract between us and you as a customer or supplier. This is a separate legal basis which applies when you buy something from us or where we buy something from you.

Consent

We may in some circumstances ask for your consent to use your personal data. If we do so, we will make it clear that we are asking for your consent, as this is the legal basis we intend to rely on for using your personal data in that instance.

We will ensure that you know why we are asking for your consent and how we will use your personal data so that you can make an informed decision as to whether to consent to us processing your personal data.

We will only ask for your consent where absolutely necessary. If you do not provide us with your consent when we request it, we will not use your personal data for the purpose to which the requested consent relates, and we will not rely on any other legal basis to do so.

For example, if we ask for your consent so that we can communicate marketing materials to you, and you do not provide us with your consent, or if you later withdraw your consent, we will not rely on our legitimate interest to use your personal data in this way.

When we ask for your consent, we will do so by:

  • asking you to tick a tick-box on our website or a form in one of our retail stores;
  • verbally over the telephone;

When you provide us with your consent, we will keep a record of this.

However, should you wish to withdraw your consent, you have the right to do this at any time and you should do this by [accessing the preferences section of your online account or by contacting our customer services department on 0345 241 7742.

You must be over the age of 16 to provide us with your consent. If you are 16 or under, your parental guardian must authorise your consent first and complete our online and offline forms do show this where necessary.

  1. Obligations on you to provide us with your personal data

There is no statutory obligation on you to provide us with your personal data. However, you may be required to provide your personal data when entering into a contract with us. Without this personal data, we may not be able to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us

  1. When your personal data will be shared

We may share your personal data with any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries. These are companies that are legally connected to us, because of the way in which they are owned.

  • advertisers and advertising networks that require the personal data to select and serve relevant adverts to you and others;
  • analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site; and
  • credit reference agencies for the purpose of assessing your credit score where this is a condition of us entering into a contract with you.

We may disclose your personal data to third parties:

  • in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may provide your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;
  • if The Clinkard Group Limited or substantially all of its property are bought by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred property; and
  • if we are under a duty to provide or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of useor terms and conditions of supply and other agreements; or to protect our rights, property, or safety, our customers, or others.
