The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data. These are set out below.

When we’re required to enter into a contract with you

We will only use your personal data when legally permitted. The most common uses of your personal data are:

If you give us permission, to communicate with you about our third party partners that we believe may interest you.

Where we need to perform the contract between us.

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.

We use your personal information to process your orders and payments or to give you a refund.

Where you have provided consent

We use email and text messages to communicate with you about our products and services, competitions, offers, promotions or special events where you tick a box.

Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal ground for processing your personal data, other than in relation to sending marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by emailing us at admin@strawberrycreative.co.uk

Where there is a Legitimate Interest

As a Company we are often required to process your personal data in order to carry out certain tasks relating to our business activities. In such cases, processing of personal data can be justified on grounds of legitimate interest.

Communications

• To contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information.
• To check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied (e.g. customer surveys).
• For marketing activities (other than where we rely on your consent) e.g. marketing permissions captured during the course of a sale, personalising marketing messages through social media and other third party platforms.
• To send promotional material (e.g. renewals) to you in the post or inform you of our offers by telephone.

So if you visit our website on your computer at work, you might see ads about our products or services on your phone later that night.

Company Interest Where you fail to repay what you owe us or return our property, we may need to trace your whereabouts (sometimes using a tracing Agent) in order to recover payment or reclaim property. This might be carried out by a third Party debt recovery agent on our behalf.

To protect against, identify and prevent fraud and other criminal activity, claims and other liabilities.

• For network and information security in order for us to take steps to protect your information against loss or damage, theft or unauthorised access.

Where it is in your Vital Interest

In certain circumstances it is in your vital interests for us to process your personal information. We may need to contact you if there are any urgent safety or product recall notices or where we otherwise reasonably believe that the processing of your personal information will prevent or reduce any potential harm to you.

Who we share your personal information with

Our service providers

We work with partners, suppliers, so they can process your personal information on our behalf and only where they meet our standards on the processing of data and security. We only share information that helps them provide their services to us or to help them provide their services to you. As a result, where you have indicated you are happy to receive marketing from us, you might see online advertising that we have placed on the web sites you visit, or the interactive services you use.

Other organisations and individuals

We may transfer your personal information to other organisations in certain scenarios. For example:

• If required to by law, under any code of practice by which we are bound or we’re asked to do so by a public or regulatory authority such as the Police or the Department for Work and Pensions.
• Information may also be shared with fraud prevention agencies to prevent fraudulent claims.
• If we need to do so in order to exercise or protect our legal rights, users, systems and services.
• In response to requests from individuals (or their representatives) seeking to protect their legal rights or the rights of others.
• With emergency services (if you make an emergency call), including your approximate location.
• Companies that enable us to collect your reviews and comments, both online and offline.
• Companies which run our contact centres because they need your personal information to identify and contact you.
• Third party vendors who help us to manage and maintain the Group IT infrastructure.

• Credit Reference Agencies

In order to process your application we may supply your personal information to credit reference agencies (CRAs) and they will give us information about you.

This will include information from your credit application and about your financial situation and financial history. CRAs will supply to us both public (including the electoral register) and shared credit, financial situation and financial history information and fraud prevention information. We will use this information to:

• Assess your creditworthiness and whether you can afford to take the product.
• Verify the accuracy of the data you have provided to us.
• Prevent criminal activity, fraud and money laundering.
• Trace and recover debts.
• To make sure any offers provided to you are appropriate to your circumstances.

We’ll also continue to exchange information about you with CRAs on an on-going basis, including about your settled accounts and any debts not fully repaid on time. CRAs will share your information with other organisations. Your data will also be linked to the data of your spouse, any joint applicants or other financial associates.

The identities of the CRAs, and the ways in which they use and share personal information, are explained in more detail at www.equifax.co.uk/crain.

International transfers of your personal information

From time to time we may transfer your personal information to our suppliers, service providers and other company offices based outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) for the purposes described in this privacy policy. If we do this your personal information will continue to be subject to one or more appropriate safeguards set out in the law.

If we do transfer information to our agents or advisers outside of the EEA, we will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it was being used in the EEA. We’ll use one of these safeguards:

• We’ll transfer it to a non-EEA country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the EEA. Learn more on the European Commission Justice website.
• We’ll put in place a contract with the recipient that means they must protect it to the same standards as the EEA. Read more about this here on the European Commission Justice website.

How long we keep your personal information

We will keep your personal information for as long as you’re a customer. If you haven’t made a purchase or engaged with us for 3 years or more, then we’ll remove you from our marketing mailing lists. After you stop being a customer, we may keep your data for up to 7 years after the last time you interacted with us. This could include one of the ways specified in ‘How we use your personal information’ and for one of these reasons:

• To respond to any questions or complaints.
• To show that we treated you fairly.

Changes to our Privacy Notice

We keep our privacy policy under regular review and we will place any updates on this web page. This privacy policy was last updated on 3rd August 2020.
