The below table outlines a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our interests are where appropriate.

Marketing

We will only contact you with marketing material if you “opt-in” to receive our communications. Every time we send out marketing communications, we give users the opportunity to unsubscribe.

Promotions and offers

When we are running a promotion or offer, we may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. You will only receive marketing communications from us if you have “opted-in”.

Third-party marketing

We will always ask for your permission by a form of “opt-in” consent before we share your personal data with any company outside of The Somerset Smokehouse for marketing purposes.

Opting out

You may ask us to stop sending you marketing communications at any time by using the “opt-out” links on any emails or marketing messages you are sent. You can also contact us at any time to have your data completely removed from our systems.

Where you opt out of receiving marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data you have provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

We may need to share your personal data with the third parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table above.

External third parties

1. Service providers acting as processors based who provide digital advertising services and IT and system administration services.
2. Professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based in the United Kingdom who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance, and accounting services.
3. HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities acting as processors or joint controllers based in the United Kingdom who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
4. Third parties who we collaborate with in relation to prize draws or promotions.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We restrict access to your personal data to employees, agents, contractors or other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only be able to process your personal data with our permission and instruction and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have in place, sufficient procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you at the earliest opportunity and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

We only keep your data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

By law, we are required to keep basic information about our customers, such as Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data, for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

You may at any time, request erasure of your personal data from our systems.

You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing where we have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.

We may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

When it comes to your personal data, you have the following rights to:

1. Request access to your personal data

7. Right to withdraw consent

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us. You will not be required 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.

We are required to respond to all requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month to respond if your request is particularly complex or you have made repeated requests. In this case, we will notify you that we have received your request and keep you updated.

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us in the first instance.
