For example, only authorized employees are permitted to access personal information, and they may do so only for permitted business functions. In addition, we use encryption in the transmission of your sensitive personal information between your system and ours, and we use firewalls to help prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your personal information.

We do not share or disclose any of your personal data to third parties without your consent, other than for the purposes specified in this notice or where there is a legal requirement.

As is normal for the ecommerce industry, we share your browsing data with some third party marketing organisations, primarily through Javascript tracking code. Those organisations become the controllers of that data, so if you opt-out of any further tracking on our site you would need to contact those organisations directly to exercise your other data rights. These data transfers are in DECOBATE’s legitimate interest.

We share your personal data with some other organisations as part of the order fulfillment process. This data processing is part of your contract with us when you place an order.

These companies are joint controllers with DECOBATE of your customer data, so you will need to contact them directly to exercise your data rights. 

We will only send you email marketing communications if you have opted in to receive them. You have the right to opt-out at any time, please see the footer of the emails for details.

You may opt out of other marketing communications via post, telephone or SMS, from the [My Account] area.

The data you can manage from your My Account area will be stored until you remove it, for example your wishlists and saved addresses.

Data about your orders and communications with us will be held indefinitely as we need a legal record of these.

Website behavioural data will be kept for up to 38 months, after which time we aim to store  only store aggregated, non-personal data.

You may also delete your account which removes most of the data we hold about you – see the “Right to erasure” section for more details.

We takes your privacy and data security seriously and we take every reasonable measure and precaution to protect and secure your personal data. We work hard to protect your information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction and have several layers of security measures in place.

You have many rights around the use of your personal data. We are implementing them in the following ways:

Right to be Informed

Your right to be informed about how we use personal data is contained within this notice, including:

• The purposes for which we process your data.
• The categories of personal data we hold about you.
• The recipients to whom your personal data has/will be disclosed.
• How long we intend to store your personal data for.
• If we did not collect the data directly from you, information about its source.

Right of Access

You have the right to request the personal data which we hold about you. We have implemented a process within the My Account area which allows you to request access.

If you have placed orders as a guest only, you must create an account for us to be able to verify your identity before we can process your request.

Right to Rectification

You are able to rectify most data from within your My Account area. If there is any other data which you want to be rectified, please contact customer services.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request that we delete the personal data we hold about you. We have implemented a process within the My Account area which allows you to delete your account and most of the associated data.

There is some data which we do not delete:

• Your name and email, which we use to store the deletion request.

If the processing is done by a different data controller, you will need to contact them directly.

Right to Data Portability

You may download the data we hold about you in the My Account area. We have not implemented any specific data portability initiatives, as we do not believe there are any standard approaches in the ecommerce sector. We will implement more data portability initiatives if this changes in the future.

You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of our online Services because such information may be required in order for you to register as a member; purchase products or services through our online Services or by phone or fax; participate in a contest, promotion, survey, or sweepstakes; ask a question; or initiate other transactions on our online Services.

At any time you can choose to no longer receive commercial or promotional e-mails or newsletters from us. When your register or provide your e-mail address through our online Services, you will be given a choice as to whether you want to receive e-mail messages about special offers. You may modify your choice at any time. You also will be given the opportunity, in any commercial e-mail that we send to you, to opt out of receiving such messages in the future. It may take up to 10 days for us to process an opt-out request. We may send you other types of transactional and relationship e-mail communications, such as service announcements, administrative notices, and surveys, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them. Please note that changing information in your account, or otherwise opting out of receipt of promotional e-mail communications will only affect future activities or communications from us.
