In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information only to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to you/us. We (and our suppliers) use your data for our legitimate business interests of collecting and processing requests and orders, for risk and fraud screening, authentication, processing payments and to improve our Services. We do use some of the personal data that you provide to us to conduct some automated decision-making e.g. IP addresses or payment information to auto-block potentially fraudulent transactions for a period of time. Third-party service providers, such as our payment processors PayPal and Braintree, have their own privacy policies. We recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

Our store uses Google Analytics, a commonly used software, to help us learn about who visits our site, what pages are being looked at and how well we are doing to help people in their online shopping experience. It records certain information e.g. the city and country you are browsing from, which browser you are using and how you reached TREATLY® site.

Occasionally, we use advertisements that are targeted to people who fit certain general profile categories (Interest Based Ads) e.g. on Facebook or Google. The data for these may be provided to us by you, or by Third Parties. You can opt out of Interest Based Ads sourced by Google using Google's Ads Settings. For further information on your options around these ads please visit the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to safeguard personal data and ensure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed. Our information security systems apply to people, processes and IT systems. Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall. They perform annual audits to ensure the handling of your credit card information aligns with industry guidelines. They are certified as a PCI DSS Level 1 compliant service provider, which is the highest level of compliance available, and their platform is audited annually by a third-party qualified security assessor. Shopify’s Privacy Policy is available here.

No method of data processing or storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. In the unlikely event that a data breach does occur, we will notify both the individuals concerned and the applicable regulator, if it is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals e.g. discrimination, reputational damage, financial loss, loss of confidentiality or other significant economic or social disadvantage.

International Transfers

Whilst TREATLY® is a British company, we provide products and services to individuals from all around the world and some of our authorised third party suppliers are based outside of the European Union, Iceland, Norway or Lichtenstein (including in the USA and Canada). Accordingly, your personal data may be transmitted outside of the country, state, or province in which you are located and outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). When we do this we ensure a similar degree of protection to that which Personal Data has in Europe, or, where we use third party agents/ services based in the United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of Privacy Shield. For further details of this visit www.privacyshield.gov

How long do we keep your data?

Unless we receive a valid erasure request, we will retain your data for the length of time it is necessary to fulfil the legitimate business interest and purpose for which it was collected, including providing you with services as well as any accounting, reporting, audit, dispute resolution or legal requirements. After this time we dispose of your personal data securely. Please note, we are legally required to keep basic customer data (identity, contact, financial and transaction data) for tax purposes for at least 6 years from the date they were last a customer with us. Our data retention policy was determined through careful consideration of the nature/sensitivity of any personal data we hold, the risk of potential harm from its unauthorised use/disclosure, the relevant legal requirements and whether that purpose could be fulfilled through other means e.g. anonymised data. If your data has been anonymised (i.e. it cannot in anyway be identified as you) then we may hold it indefinitely for statistical purposes.

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?

Your legal rights as an individual include the following:-

  • The right to be informed

You have the right to be informed as to how we intend to use your personal data which we must do both in this document and when the data is being gathered. We cannot assume consent or take consent for granted.

  • The right of access to your personal data

This enables you to request and receive (usually free of charge) a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to ask how we make use of it to check that we are processing it lawfully. This is often referred to as a data Subject Access Request (SAR).

  • The right of rectification

This enables you to request the correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you. However, we may need to verify that the new data provided is accurate. We may need to inform third parties of the rectification where we have disclosed the data to them. We also need to make you aware of the third parties whom we have disclosed data to (where appropriate).

  • The right of erasure of your personal data (the right to be forgotten)

This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it or where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below). However, please note that in some circumstances we may not be able to comply with your request of erasure where there are specific legal reasons. If this is the case, you will be notified as such during the response to your request.

  • The right to restrict the processing your personal data

This means that in certain circumstances you can allow us to store your data but also state that we are not allowed to process that data for any reason. It enables you to request that we suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

  • You require that we hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims
  • You would like us to establish the data's accuracy
  • Our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it
  • You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether or not we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it
  • The right to object to processing of your personal data

You have a right to object to the processing of your data where we are relying on a legitimate interest of ours (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which give you the grounds to do so (as you feel it impacts on your fundamental freedoms and rights). You also have the right to object where we have processed your information unlawfully (including that not in compliance with local law) or for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

  • The right to data portability

You can request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will then provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

  • The right not to be subject to automated decision-making including profiling

There are safeguards in place against the risk that a (potentially damaging) decision is taken without human intervention.

  • The right to withdraw consent at any time

Where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

  • The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You have a right to lodge a complaint about our practices with respect to your personal data with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

When will we respond to one of these requests?

We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. For particularly complex requests, or if there are multiple requests from you, it may take us longer. If this is the case, we will notify you as such and keep you updated.

What do we need from you?

To help us confirm your identity, to speed up our response and as a security measure to ensure your right to access your personal data (or any other right) we may need to contact you to request specific information from you. This is to make sure that personal data is not disclosed to someone who doesn’t have the right to receive it.

How much will it cost you?

No fee will usually be required to access your personal data or exercise any of the other rights. However, we may refuse or charge for requests that are manifestly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. If we refuse a request, within one month we will tell you why and that you have the right to complain to the supervisory authority and to a judicial remedy.

If you would like to exercise any of the rights listed here, please contact us at info@treatly.uk

QUESTIONS AND CONTACT INFORMATION

If you would like to: access, correct, amend or delete any personal information we have about you, register a complaint, or simply want more information regarding how we collect, use, protect or share your Personal Data, contact our Data Protection Officer at info@treatly.uk or by mail at: The Goddess Project, 27 Newton Road, Knowle, Solihull, B93 9HL.
