This is important in order for us to pursue our legitimate business interests of direct marketing and promotion of our products and services.
  • Protecting our business and our commercial interests, including conducting credit and background checks, preventing fraud and internet misuse, and recovering debt. This is important in order to protect our legitimate interests in avoiding illegal behaviour such as fraud or money laundering, as well as to ensure that our website and services are not abused. Where we conduct credit and background checks, we shall do so only to the degree authorised or authorised by law and to the extent necessary.
  • Maintaining contact with our business consultants and legal counsel. This is important in order for us to receive legal or professional business advice in our legitimate interests. In such cases, we will share your personal information solely to the amount necessary, subject to adequate confidentiality safeguards, and on an anonymous basis if feasible.
  • Sharing your personal information to third parties, including service suppliers and data processors, who are directly or indirectly involved in the operation of our business (including, from time to time, third parties within our corporate group), such as our trading partners, insurers, auditors, affiliates, associates, distributors, contractors, email providers, and IT and web development service providers; our web development agency is SOZO Design Ltd. (2 We will disclose personal information with all these third parties where it is required to run and manage our business properly, to meet contractual duties (e.g. to our insurers), or for our own direct marketing reasons. Where you purchase products or services from us or request that we do so, we may also need to disclose your personal information with such third parties in order to carry out a contract we have with you or to take measures, at your request, to enter into a contract with you. Where we disclose your personal information with such third parties, we will do so on a need-to-know basis, subject to applicable confidentiality limitations, and as anonymously as feasible and only to the amount required necessary for any of these objectives.
  • Our e-newsletter is delivered via a third-party source, MailChimp. We track email open and click rates using industry-standard technology, such as clear gifs, in order to monitor and enhance our e-newsletter.

  • Processing or disclosing your personal information to third parties, such as payment service providers, such as PayPal and Checkout.com, in order to facilitate the payment of products and services ordered from us. This is required for us to fulfil a contract with you (or to take measures, at your request, to enter into a contract with you) and for the third party’s legitimate interest in processing your payment(s) for the products and services you order from us. PayPal’s and Checkout.com’s privacy policies are available at: https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-prev, and https://www.checkout.com/legal/privacy-policy.

  • In response to disclosure requests and in the event of a business or share transaction, as well as the sale or acquisition of a business and/or assets, whether actual or possible. This is important in order to pursue our legitimate business objectives of selling and/or securing and promoting our business’s success. Where we disclose your personal information with a prospective purchaser or seller, we will do so on a strictly need-to-know basis, subject to applicable confidentiality constraints, and in the most anonymized manner feasible and only to the extent required necessary for any of these objectives.

PURPOSES OF ADVERTISING AND ANALYSIS

This is important to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in processing personal information for research purposes, such as market research, better understanding our respective consumers, and adapting our respective products and services to their needs.
  • Providing you with adverts and analysing the data we collect in connection with such advertisements. This is important to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in direct marketing and advertising our and their products and services, as well as for market research objectives.

LEGAL RIGHTS AND THEIR ENFORCEMENT

  • Protecting and enforcing our legal rights. This is important to preserve our legitimate business interests and to enforce our contractual and other legal rights.

This is essential to protect our legitimate interest in preventing crime, to comply with a legal requirement, to act in the public interest, or to protect the legitimate interests of governmental organisations and responsible authorities that prevent crime.
  • In connection with any legal dispute or procedure, whether current or hypothetical. This is important for our legitimate interest in resolving disputes and disclosing information as required by law or as we reasonably believe is required by law.
  • Adherence to applicable rules, regulations, and other legal obligations. We may be required to use and use your personal information in order to comply with applicable legal obligations.
