HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such contract.
    •  Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
    •  Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

    Legitimate interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business (such to keep our website up to date or to study how customers use our products) in order to give you the best products and the best and most secure experience. Where legitimate interest is relied upon to process your personal data, we will consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interest.

    We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Marketing
We may use your personal data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us (e.g. our newsletter) if you have requested information from us or purchased our products and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service experience or other transactions.

DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We may share your personal data within our organization and to external third parties such as service providers, IT and system administrator, HM Revenue & Customers and other legal authorities who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.


DATA SECURITY
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

DATA RETENTION
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data– this enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and check that we are lawfully processing it.
    •  Request correction of your personal data – this enables you to have corrected incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you.
    •  Request erasure of your personal data – this enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
    •  Object to processing of your personal data – e.g. where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purpose.
    •  Request restriction of processing of your personal data – this enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data because the data is inaccurate, unlawful, no longer relevant or you have objected.
    •  Request transfer of your personal data – this may be a transfer to you or to a third party. 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.
    •  Right to withdraw consent at any time – where we are relying on consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw at any time.

    You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at orders@sipcrafter.com.
