4. How do we use your personal data?


Introduction

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:
  • to allow you to register an account
  • to perform a contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you
  • if it is necessary for our legitimate interests and these are not overridden by your own rights and interests
  • where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.


Lawful processing

In order to process personal data, we must have a lawful reason (sometimes called a lawful basis). We always ensure that this is the case, and we set out our lawful bases below – but please note that more than one may apply at any given time: for example, if we inform you of changes to our privacy notice, we may process your personal data on the ground of complying with law and on the ground of legitimate interests.
We will use your personal data only for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we fairly consider that we need it for another reason that is compatible with the original purpose.
Please contact us if you would like more information on this.


Contractual Necessity

If you are our customer we will process your personal data for the following purposes, on the legal basis that it is necessary for us to provide our products and services to you:
  • to enable us to carry out our services
  • to identify you
  • to respond to your inquiries
  • to allow you to register an account or set up a wish list
  • to the extent necessary to provide you with information you have requested in relation to our products and services before you decide to purchase them
  • to provide our products and services, including enabling them to be delivered to you and contacting you about your order (for example, regarding stock or availability)
  • to carry out billing and administration activities, including refunds and credits
Of course, you are not obliged to provide us with any of this information, but if you chose not to, we may be unable to provide the product or service that you have requested.


Legitimate Interests

We process your personal information for our legitimate business purposes, which include the following:
  • to conduct and manage our business
  • to identify suspicious purchasing activity (for example, where a card has been used for high-volume and/or high-value purchases or where cardholder and deliver addresses differ) – however, we do not make automated decisions on the basis of such profiling
  • to ensure our website and systems are secure
  • to personalise your web experience – for example, by tailoring our products and offers to you
  • to allow you to review a product you have purchased
  • to analyse, improve and update our services for the benefit of our customers
  • to deal with complaints
  • where you have made a purchase from us, to let you know about our products, services, promotions or events that we consider may be of interest to you (and which may be tailored to your interests as construed from your purchase history). We do this only where you have provided us with a preferred means of contact for this purpose. We carry out this processing on the legal basis that we have a legitimate interest in marketing our products and services, and only to the extent that we are permitted to do so by applicable direct marketing laws. You can opt out of receiving this information by unsubscribing from our emails, by returning our catalogues to the address indicated, or by contacting us as set out in Section 1 above.
Whenever we process your personal data for these purposes, we ensure that your interests, rights and freedoms are carefully considered.


Compliance with laws

We may process your personal data in order to comply with applicable laws (for example, if we are required to co-operate with an investigation pursuant to a court order).


Consent

If you have never purchased from us or have not purchased from us for a long time, but have given us your explicit consent to hear from us about our products, services, promotions or events that we consider may be of interest to you, we will contact you by post or email (according to the contact preference you have provided). You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time.


5. Do we share your personal data?

We may provide your personal data to the following recipients for the purposes set out in this notice:
  • our service providers, including
    • - logistics providers, such as those who deliver our orders
    • - e-mail, mail and review service providers
    • - booking platform provider
    • - technical and support partners, such as the companies who host our website and who provide technical support and back-up services
  • merger or acquisition partners, to the extent that sharing your personal data is necessary
  • law enforcement agencies, government or public agencies or officials, regulators, and any other person or entity that has the appropriate legal authority where we are legally required or permitted to do so, to respond to claims, or to protect our rights, interests, privacy, property or safety


6. Do you have to provide personal data – and, if so, why?

To form a contract with you, we will need some or all of the personal data described above so that we can perform that contract or the steps that lead up to it: this is set out above in this notice. If we do not receive the data, the contract could not be performed.
If you sign up to our mailing list, you will have to provide certain personal data. Of course, you may decide to stop receiving our mailings at any time.


7. How long will your personal data will be kept for?

We carefully consider the personal data that we store, and we will not keep your information in a form that identifies you for longer than is necessary for the purposes set out in this notice or as required by applicable law. In some instances, we are required to hold data for minimum periods: for example, UK tax law currently specifies a six-year period for retention of some of your personal data.


8. How do we keep your personal data secure?

Nicola Jane has security measures in place designed to prevent data loss, to preserve data integrity, and to regulate access to the data. Only authorised Nicola Jane employees and third parties processing data on our behalf have access to your personal data.
All Nicola Jane employees who have access to your personal data are required to adhere to the Nicola Jane Privacy Notice and we have in place contractual safeguards with our third-party data processors to ensure that your personal data is processed only as instructed by Nicola Jane.
The security measures we have in place include:
  • regular reviews of information collection, storage and processing practices to protect against unauthorised access
  • restriction of access to personal information
  • monitoring of systems storing and processing information
  • use of secure technologies (e.g. SSL, encryption)
  • scenario planning and crisis-management exercises to ensure we are ready to respond to cyber security attacks and data security incidents.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
We take all reasonable steps to keep your data safe and secure and to ensure the data is accessed only by those who have a legitimate interest to do so. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Please contact us using the details in section 1 of this notice if you would like more information about this.


10. Your information rights

We draw your attention to your following rights under data protection law:
  • right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data
  • right of access to your personal data, and the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you and supplementary details about that information – you will be asked to provide proof of your identify and residential address, and we may ask you to provide further details to assist us in the provision of such information
  • right to have inaccurate personal data that we process about you rectified – we want to ensure that the personal information that we process and retain about you is accurate, so please do remember to tell us about any changes, for example if you have moved house or changed your contact details. It is your responsibility to ensure you submit true, accurate, and complete information to us; please also update us in the event this information changes.
  • right of erasure – in certain circumstances you have the right to have personal data that we process about you blocked, erased or destroyed
  • the right to object to, or restrict:
    • - processing of personal data concerning you for direct marketing
    • - decisions being taken by automated means which produce legal effects concerning you or that similarly significantly affect you
    • - in certain other situations, to our continued processing of your personal data
  • the right of portability of your data in certain circumstances.
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 may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Please contact us using the details in section 1 of this notice if you would like to exercise any of these rights or know more about them.
These rights are subject to certain limitations that exist in law. Further information about your information rights is available on the ICO’s website: https://ico.org.uk/.
