Our use of personal data 1.1 In this section we have set out: (a) the general categories of personal data that we may process; (b) in the case of personal data that we did not obtain directly from you, the source and specific categories of that data; (c) the purposes for which we may process personal data; and (d) the legal bases of the processing. When we refer to a "legal basis”, we mean a lawful basis set out in Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) under which we conduct the relevant processing. Personal data we obtain from you Usage data 1.2 We may process data about your use of the Site (usage data). This may include your geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths, as well as information about the timing, frequency and pattern of your use. It may also include conversion tracking information in relation to our social media posts (which tells us how many people have clicked through to our website from those posts). This data is aggregated and anonymised in such a way that it contains no information relating to any identifiable individual at all: it’s not actually personal data but we mention it in this Notice for the sake of completeness. We process usage data for the purpose of improving our Site or social media posts. Correspondence data 1.3 We may process personal data contained in or relating to any communication that you send to us, whether through the Site, by email, or otherwise. We may also process personal data which you have provided to us so that we can correspond with you: for example, if you give us your business card at an exhibition. All of this together iscorrespondence data. This may include the communication content and metadata associated with the communication, as well as any contact details you provide to us such as your name, email address, phone number, job title or address. We process correspondence data for the purposes of communicating with you and record-keeping. If you are a customer of ours, or have indicated your interest in our products, services or business, then we may also process correspondence data for the purposes of addressing your enquiry and providing you with occasional news about our products and services. Finally, we may use conversion tracking in relation to some of our email communications (such as newsletters and promotional emails) – this will record whether a recipient has opened an email sent by us, or whether they have clicked through to any of the links in it. Account data 1.4 If we do business with you or your organisation, whether as a supplier or a customer, then we may process personal data such as your contact details for the purposes of setting up an account in our systems. We may also process personal data within all account-related correspondence and documents such as proposals or contracts, whether created by us or provided to us. We call all of this account data, and we process it for the purposes of providing our products and services, purchasing products and services, and account administration and record-keeping. Transaction data 1.5 We may process personal data relating to transactions, such as bank account details, contact details or transaction data in relation to payments made by us to you or by you to us (transaction data).

We call this social media data. We will process it for the purposes of improving our social media posts and potentially for communicating with you. Personal data we obtain from others 1.8 Your personal data may be provided to us by someone other than you: for example, by your employer, by an organisation with whom you and we are both dealing or by someone who wishes to refer you to us or vice versa.

In particular, we will process personal data on the following lawful bases identified in Article 6 GDPR: (a)for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with you (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). This may be our basis for processing correspondence data, account data, transaction data or visitor data; (b)for our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). This may be our basis for processing: i) correspondence, account, social media and visitor data (as we have an interest in properly administering our business and communications, and in developing our business with interested parties); ii) transaction data (as we have an interest in making and receiving payments promptly and in recovering debts); iii)any personal data identified in this Notice where necessary in connection with legal claims (as we have an interest in the protection and assertion of our and your legal rights and the legal rights of others); and iv)any personal data identified in this Notice in connection with backups of any element of our IT systems or databases containing that personal data (as we have an interest in ensuring the resilience of our IT systems and the integrity and recoverability of our data). 1.10 We may also process any of your personal data where necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (Article 6(c) GDPR), or in order to protect your or another individual’s vital interests (Article 6(d) GDPR). 2.

If so, then we will ensure that transfers by our appointed data processors will only be made to countries in respect of which the European Commission has made an "adequacy decision”, or otherwise will only be made with appropriate safeguards, such as the use of standard data protection clauses adopted or approved by the European Commission or the use of the EU-US Privacy Shield. You may contact us if you would like further information about these safeguards. 3.3 We may also transfer personal data outside the EEA from time to time: (a)with your consent; (b)at your request (for example, if you ask us to introduce you to one of our distributors outside the EEA); or (c)if our personnel take mobile devices with them when travelling outside the EEA. 4.

Your rights 7.1 We have summarised below the rights that you have under data protection law. Some of the rights are complex, and not all of the details have been included in our summaries. You can read guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.gov.uk for a fuller explanation of your rights. 7.2 Your principal rights under data protection law are: (a)the right to access: you have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal data and, where we do, to access to the personal data, together with additional information including details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the personal data. Providing the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, we will supply to you a copy of your personal data. The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee; (b)the right to rectification: you have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personal data about you completed; (c)the right to erasure: in some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal data. These might include if the personal data are no longer needed for the purposes for which they were processed or if the processing is for direct marketing purposes. However, there are some exclusions of the right to erasure, such as where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or in connection with legal claims; (d)the right to restrict processing: in some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Where processing has been restricted, we may continue to store your personal data and will observe the restrictions on processing except in the case of processing permitted by applicable law (for example, in connection with legal claims or for reasons of public interest); (e)the right to object to processing: you have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on the basis of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will stop processing the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing is for legal claims. You also have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes and if you do so we will stop processing your personal data for that purpose; (f)the right to data portability: if the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is consent, or the performance of a contract with you, and such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others; and (g)the right to complain to a supervisory authority: if you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. 7.3 You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by written notice to us. 8.
