Introduction

This privacy notice explains how we use and process any information that we collect from you or that you provide to us, including information that could identify you (“personal information”) and any other information. Within a legal context and for the purposes of this notice, “process” means collect, store, transfer, use or otherwise act on information. This notice hereby informs you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

We take your privacy very seriously. We are committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. Our policy strictly adheres to all legal compliance requirements in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 (Act) accordingly incorporating the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you with regard to the processing and control of your personal data. For full details, please see www.knowyourprivacyrights.org.

We do not share, sell, or disclose any information collected through our website to any third party except as set out below.

1. Data Protection Officer

We have appointed a data protection officer (DPO) who is responsible for ensuring that our policy is adhered to.

If you have any questions about this privacy notice, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact our DPO, Shirley Craven at shirley@curvebox.co.uk

2. Data we process

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you, as follows:

Your identity includes information such as first name, last name, title, date of birth, and other identifiers that you may have provided at a given time.

Your contact details include information such as e-mail address, telephone numbers and any other information you have given to us for the purpose of communication.

Technical data includes your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.

Your profile includes information such as your username, your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses.

Marketing data includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us, communication preferences, responses and actions in relation to your use of our services.

We may aggregate anonymous data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Anonymous data is data that does not identify you as an individual. Aggregated data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal information in law because it does not reveal your identity.

For example, we may aggregate profile data to assess interest in one of our marketing campaigns.

However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal information so that it can identify you in any way, we treat the combined data as personal information, and it will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

Special personal information is data including, but not limited to, your gender, age, ethnicity,

We may collect special personal information about you if there is a lawful basis on which to do so.

4. The bases on which we process information about you

The law requires us to determine under which defined bases we process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each category.

If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant, then we shall immediately stop processing your data.

If the basis changes then if required by law, we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your information.

5. Information we process with your consent

We will request your explicit consent to processing any of your personal information when using this website, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies.

We will continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or until it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us at info@curvebox.co.uk . However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our website or our services further.

6. Information we process for the purposes of legitimate interests

We may process information on the basis that there is a legitimate interest, either to you or to us, in doing so.

Where we process your information on this basis, we do so after having given careful consideration to:

• whether the same objective could be achieved through other means
• whether processing (or not processing) might cause you harm
• whether you would expect us to process your data, and whether you would consider it reasonable to do so

For example, we may process your data on this basis for the purposes of:

• record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of Curvebox Ltd
• responding to unsolicited communication from you to which we believe you would expect a response
• protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party
• insuring against or obtaining professional advice that is required to manage Curvebox Ltd’s risk

7. Information we process because we have a legal obligation

We may at times process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation.

For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.

This may include your personal information.
