Your privacy settings can be used to limit the publication of your information on our website, and can be adjusted using privacy controls on the website.

We will not, without your express consent, supply your personal data to any third party for the purpose of their or any other third party’s direct marketing.

Each time we process your personal data for the purposes set out above, we will ensure that we have a legal basis for that processing. This processing will be based on one or more of the following grounds (i) to fulfil a contract we have with you, or (ii) when you consent to it.

We may share your personal data to any of our employees, officers, insurers, professional advisers, agents, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this policy.

We may disclose your personal data to any member of Flatpack Kitchen Services insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this policy.

At your request, we will share your personal data with your representative or any person acting on your behalf (for example, financial advisers, lawyers, accountants, executors, administrators or trustees).

We may disclose your personal data:

• to the extent that we are required to do so by law;
• in connection with any ongoing or prospective legal proceedings;
• in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk);
• to the purchaser (or prospective purchaser) of any business or asset that we are (or are contemplating) selling; and
• to any person who we reasonably believe may apply to a court or other competent authority for disclosure of that personal data where, in our reasonable opinion, such court or authority would be reasonably likely to order disclosure of that personal data.

Except as provided in this policy, we will not provide your personal data to third parties.

Information that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which we operate in order to enable us to use the information in accordance with this policy. We have safeguards in place to protect your information when it is transferred outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), New Zealand or Australia.

Information that we collect may be transferred to the following countries which do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the EEA: the United States of America, Russia, Japan, China and India.

We may store your information in cloud or other types of networked or electronic storage. As electronic or networked storage can be accessed from various countries via an internet connection, it’s not always practicable to know in which country your information may be accessed or held. If we or our service providers transfer any of your personal data we collect from you out of the EEA, it will only be done with relevant protections in place. We will take steps to ensure that your personal data will be afforded the level of protection required of us under and in accordance with this policy and applicable data protection laws. Overseas organisations may be required to disclose information we share with them under an applicable domestic and foreign law.

Personal data that you publish on our website or submit for publication on our website may be available, via the internet, around the world. We cannot prevent the use or misuse of such information by others.

You expressly agree to the transfers of personal data described in this section.

Our data retention policies and procedure are designed to help ensure that we comply with our legal obligations in relation to the retention and deletion of personal data.

Personal data that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes. Typically, we will usually delete personal data 7 seven years after date of receipt.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6, we will retain documents (including electronic documents) containing personal data:

• to the extent that we are required to do so by law;
• if we believe that the documents may be relevant to any ongoing or prospective legal proceedings; and
• in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk).

We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal data.

We will store all the personal data you provide on our secure (password- and firewall-protected) servers.

You acknowledge that the transmission of information over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.

We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time and in our sole discretion without prior notice. We may post or display notices of changes to our privacy policy on or through the website. Once posted, these changes to the privacy policy become effective immediately. If any change that we make is not acceptable to you, your sole recourse shall be to cease using our website. Any access or use by you of our website after any changes to our privacy policy constitutes evidence of your acknowledgement of the modification to this privacy policy and your agreement to be bound by such change(s). You should check back regularly and review this privacy policy.

How to access your information: To the extent permitted by law, you have the right to access your personal data and to receive a copy of that information. You can ask us to access your personal data that we hold by emailing [email protected].  We will give you access to your information in the form you want it where it’s reasonable and practical. We may charge you a small fee under certain circumstances to cover our costs when giving you access but we’ll always confirm this with you first. We may also ask you for the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity (for this purpose, we will usually accept a photocopy of your passport certified by a solicitor or bank plus an original copy of a utility bill showing your current address). If we can’t give you access, we will tell you why in writing and how you can make a complaint about our decision.

How to correct your personal data: You have the right to correct your personal data and can contact us if you think there is something wrong with the information we hold about you.

You also have the right in certain circumstances to request that:

• the personal data that we collect from you is erased;
• the right to request that the further processing of your information is restricted or to object to its processing and the right to data portability (to receive and have transferred the information you provided;
• that you withdraw your consent where provided or object to the further processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.

If we refuse any request you make in relation to this right, we will tell you why in writing and how you can make a complaint about our decision.

If you have a complaint about how we handle your personal data, we want to hear from you. You are always welcome to contact us. We are committed to resolving your complaint and doing the right thing by our customers. We aim to resolve complaints as quickly as we can.
