2. How we use Personal Data we collect

All Personal Data will be processed fairly and in keeping with the purposes for which it was obtained.

We will only process your Personal Data where we have a lawful purpose to do so, for example:

• To enter into or perform our contract with you in relation to your use of our websites, provision of goods and services, to provide you with an account and for the benefits of our Loyalty scheme or shopping online;

The below table includes the main purposes for which we process your personal data as well as the appropriate lawful basis. We may process your personal data for more than one lawful basis depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data.

Banner messages and personalised adverts on other websites:

We, and/or 3rd parties we engage on our behalf, may also target banners and ads to you when you are on other websites, apps and social media. We do this using a range of advertising technologies such as ad tags, cookies, and mobile identifiers, as well as specific services offered by some sites and social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

These will be based on information we hold, or your previous use of our services (for example, your search history, and the content you read on our sites) or on banners or ads you have previously clicked on. We do this to serve you ads that we believe you will be most interested in and prevent you from seeing ads that are unlikely to be of interest to you, or for products that aren’t available in your area.

If you don't want to see these ads, then you can either disable cookies in your browser, or reject cookies from the site you’re visiting. Please see our Cookies Policy for further details.

Automated decision-making

We, and/or 3rd parties we engage on our behalf, may make some decisions about you using your Personal Data which is based on profiling without our staff intervention (known as automated decision making).

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated decision making which produces a legal or other similarly significant effect. However, this will not apply if the decision is necessary for a contract, authorised by law, or has your express consent.

In most cases, we use automated decision making in order for you to enter into a contract with us (such as automatic fraud screening), or in ways which won’t have a significant effect on you as an individual (such as our general analysis of data to gain insights into behaviours and characteristics of our customers).

You can request a manual review of the accuracy of an automated decision if you are unhappy with it. Please see the Contact Us section below for details.

3. Retention of your Personal Data

We will store your Personal Data only for as long as necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was obtained. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

• the length of time we have an ongoing relationship and/or provide our services;
• whether there is a legal requirement to which we are subject; and
• whether the retention is advisable considering our legal position (such as regarding applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

Please see the Contact Us section below if you wish to obtain further information concerning our retention periods.

6. Personal Data collected by other third parties and links to other sites

We work with certain third parties to provide goods and services, such as eShops, Digital Advertising.

Please check those policies before you submit any Personal Data to those websites.

If these third parties collect your Personal Data from you, these companies will be acting as Data Controllers in their own right, separately from us.

We’ll never ask for your secure personal or account data by an unsolicited means of communication. You are responsible for keeping your personal and account data secure and not sharing it with others.

Once we receive your Personal Data, we use appropriate security measures to seek to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure.
