3. The data we collect about you

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed.

Marketing

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and other communications. Personal data control mechanisms are contained in the MY NOTIFICATIONS section of the Platform.

Promotional offers by us

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. This is how we decide which products, Services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us, purchased goods from us, used Services, provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, have not opted out of receiving marketing communications.

Third-party marketing

By adding a Listing to your FAVOURITES on the Platform, you will automatically receive a communication (by push notification and/or email) from the lister concerned each time it adds a DEAL, EVENT or POST to its Listing. You can adjust whether and how you receive such notifications by adjusting your settings accordingly in the MY NOTIFICATIONS section of the Platform. Subject to this, we will get your express opt-in consent before we share, for marketing purposes, your personal data with any organisation outwith the OCH Group or the Administrator Group.

Opting out

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing and other messages at any time by adjusting your settings accordingly in the MY NOTIFICATIONS section of the Platform. Where you opt out of receiving these messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/Service purchase, warranty registration, product/Service experience or other transaction.

Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some Services may become inaccessible or cease to function optimally. For more information about the cookies we use, please see our Cookies Policy.

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 you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact the Data Privacy Manager (using the details in paragraph 1 above). If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, the Area Administrator will notify you and 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.

6. Disclosure of your personal data

For the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 5 above, we may have to share your personal data with: (i) Internal Third Parties and/or External Third Parties (as each is defined in paragraph 11 below); (ii) without prejudice to the foregoing, other members of the Administrator Group and/or the OCH Group (iii) third parties to/with whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge all/part of our business. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.

7. International transfers

We do not transfer your personal data outside the Combined Area.

8. Data security

The Area Administrator has put in place and/or procured appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, the Area Administrator limits access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know it. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. The Area Administrator has put in place and/or procured procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where legally required to do so.

9. How long will you retain my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

10. Your legal rights

You have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. Please see the website of the Information Commissioner's Office (at https://ico.org.uk) to find out more about those rights and contact the Data Privacy Manager (using the details in paragraph 1 above) if you wish to exercise any of them.

In summary, you have the right to:

(a) Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

(b) Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

(c) Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. 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 (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you by the Area Administrator, if applicable, at the time of your request.

(d) Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

(e) Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (i) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (ii) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (iii) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

(f) Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to provide a Service to you.

(g) Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide products or Services to you. The Area Administrator will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

No fee usually required

You will not have 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.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

The Area Administrator seeks to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. It can, though, take longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, the Area Administrator will notify you and keep you updated.
