What are the legal bases we use for processing your information?
The GDPR requires Us to rely on one or more lawful bases to use your personal information. We consider the bases listed below to be relevant:
- Where you have provided your consent for us to use your personal information in a certain way (for example, we will ask for your consent to send you marketing material by email).
- Where necessary so that we can comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, where we are obliged to share your personal information with regulatory bodies which govern our work and services).
- Where there is a legitimate interest in us doing so if it is reasonably necessary to achieve our or others’ legitimate interests (as long as that processing is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact your rights).
“Legitimate Interests” means Our interests in conducting and managing our business as an online retailer of Dancewear. For example, we have an interest in making sure our marketing is relevant for you, so we may process your information to send you marketing that is tailored to your interests. It can also apply to processing that is in your interests as well. For example, we may process your information to protect you against fraud when transacting on our website, and to ensure our websites and systems are secure. When we process your personal information for Our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection legislation. Our legitimate interests do not automatically override your interests - we will not use your personal information for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). If you have any concerns about Our processing, you have the right to object to processing that is based on our legitimate interests.
Marketing communication & preferences
Dancewear Central would like to send you information by email or post about products, services, competitions, sales and special offers which may be of interest to you.
When you sign up to a Dancewear Central standard or express account, you will receive an automated email to confirm your subscription. If confirmed, you will be subscribed to our mailing list.
If you have consented to marketing communication, we will send you marketing messages until you specify otherwise in your ‘My Account’ section or by contacting our Customer Services team at info@dancewearcentral.co.uk
You can opt out at any time from email marketing. Please see the How Do I Unsubscribe From Communication section below.
How Do I Unsubscribe From Communication?
You can opt out of marketing communication such as email newsletters, at any time. All you need to do is change your communication preferences in ‘My Account’, or click the unsubscribe link, which is included in all of our emails.
Please remember, if you do ‘opt out' of receiving this information you are more likely to miss out on offers and rewards.
Please note that if you have opted out of receiving emails we will continue to send you transactional emails about your purchases.
Will we ever share your information?
We may use selected agents to process your information on Our behalf, such as software providers to host Our website. Such third parties will be authorised to see and use your information but only to fulfil their contractual obligations to Us and will not be permitted to use it for any other purpose. We retain full responsibility for how your personal information may be used by such agents.
In exceptional circumstances We may share your information when We are legally required to do so.
How do we protect your personal information?
We place great importance on the security of your personal information and We always try to take appropriate precautions to protect it. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help Us protect your personal data from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. For example when we transmit highly confidential data (such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption.
Despite all of Our precautions however, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So, whilst We strive to protect your personal information, We cannot guarantee the security of any information which you send to Us and you must understand that you do so at your own risk.
How long do we keep your personal information for?
Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. At the end of that retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymised, for example by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.
An example of customer data retention periods:
Orders. When you place an order, we’ll keep the personal data you give us for seven years so we can comply with our legal and contractual obligations.
If you have any questions about Our data retention policy, please email: info@dancewearcentral.co.uk
Where do we store and process your information?
We generally store and process your information within the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where we need to transfer your information outside of the European Economic Area we only do so to countries which have been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection//or where We transfer personal information to countries that have not been determined to have an adequate level of protection we do so using a variety of legal mechanisms, including contracts, to help ensure your rights and protections.
