Information About Us

What Does This Notice Cover?

This Privacy Information explains how we use your personal data: how it is collected, how it is held, and how it is processed. It also explains your  rights under the law relating to your personal data.  

What is Personal Data?

Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) as ‘any information relating to an  identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.

Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as  your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online  identifiers.

The personal data that we use is set out below within the What Personal Data Do You Collect section. 

What Are My Rights?

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

1. The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data.

This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the  performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use  with another service or business in many cases.
8. Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way. For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us via details provided within the "How Do I Contact You Section" .

Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.

How Do You Use My Personal Data?

Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. This may be because the data is necessary for our performance of  a contract with you, because you have consented to our use of your personal data, or because it is in our legitimate business interests to use it. Your personal data will be used for one or more  of the following purposes:

3. Personalising and tailoring our products and services for you.
4. Communicating with you. This may include responding to letters, emails or calls from you.
5. Supplying you with information by telephone, email and/or post that you have opted-in to (you may unsubscribe or opt-out at any time by  notifying  us in writing).

With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting  you by email, telephone or post with information, news, and offers on our products or services. You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or  spam. We will always work to fully protect your rights and comply with our obligations under the GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic  Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, and you will always have the opportunity to opt-out.

How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?

We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Your personal data will  therefore be kept for the following periods (or, where there is no fixed period, the following factors will be used to determine how long it is kept).

We annually review personal data kept and will proactively delete records no longer required providing we are permitted to do so within the law.

How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?

We will only store or transfer your personal data in the UK. This means that it will be fully protected under the GDPR.

Do You Share My Personal Data?

We may sometimes contract with the following third parties to supply products and/or services to you on our behalf. These may include payment  processing and delivery suppliers. In some cases, those third parties may require access to some or all of your personal data that we hold.

If any of your personal data is required by a third party, as described above, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data is handled safely,  securely, and in accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the third party’s obligations under the law, as described above in Part 8.

If any personal data is transferred outside of the EEA, we will take suitable steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely  and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR, as explained above in Part 8. In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal  proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.  

How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such  personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”. All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 11.  There is not normally any  charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may  be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.

We will respond to your subject access request within 15 working days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim  to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is  more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed  of our progress.

How Do I Contact You?

To contact us about anything to do with your personal data and data protection, including to make a subject access request, please use the  following details:  Changes to this Privacy Notice

We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time. This may be necessary, for example, if the law changes, or if we change our business in a  way that affects personal data protection. Any changes will be made available at www.lancingmarine.com or on request direct to us.
