The kind of information that we share

We share your data with third parties, including third-party service providers. We require all third parties to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

Third-party service providers require access to your personal data in the course of providing their services to us. We engage third parties to provide the following services: public relations and marketing, IT support and management system, printing and reprographics support, email marketing management systems, survey and polling services and market insight services delivery of Goods and collection of Goods being returned.

All third parties are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your Personal Information in line with our policies. We do not allow third parties to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to access your personal data for specific purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

We may share your Personal Information with other third parties, for example with a potential purchaser in the context of a potential sale or restructuring of the business. We may also need to share your Personal Information to comply with the law.

Protecting Your Personal Information

We will take reasonable measures to: (i) protect Personal Information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction, and (ii) keep Personal Information accurate and up-to-date as appropriate. We also seek to require our affiliates and service providers with whom we share Personal Information to exercise reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of Personal Information about you. For online transactions, we use reasonable technological measures to protect the Personal Information that you transmit to us via our site. Unfortunately, however, no security system or system of transmitting data over the Internet can be guaranteed to be entirely secure. For your own privacy protection, please do not send payment card numbers to us via email.

Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

Request access to your Personal Information. This is commonly known as a subject access request. This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are processing it lawfully.

Request correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

Request erasure of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Information 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 Information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

Object to processing of your Personal Information 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. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes.

Request the restriction of processing of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of Personal Information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

Request the transfer of your Personal Information to another party.

Request the reconsideration of an automated decision. This enables you to ask us to reconsider a decision that was made solely by automated means or to ask for human intervention.

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your Personal Information, object to the processing of your personal data, request that we transfer a copy of your personal

information to another party or request the reconsideration of an automated decision, please contact our CODP by emailing: info@scotts-supplies.co.uk

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that Personal Information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

Where you have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your Personal Information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact our CODP at: info@scotts-supplies.co.uk Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to.

How long we retain your Personal Information

We retain Personal Information about you for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Statement, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law. We will destroy your Personal Information as early as practicable and in a way that the information may not be restored or reconstructed. If printed on paper, the Personal Information will be destroyed in a secure manner, such as by cross-shredding or incinerating the paper documents or otherwise and, if saved in electronic form, the Personal Information will be destroyed by technical means to ensure the information may not be restored or reconstructed at a later time.

If you fail to provide Personal Information

If you fail to provide certain Personal Information when we request it, we may not be able to perform our contract with you properly (such as providing you with legal advice) or we may be prevented from achieving our legitimate interests (such as engaging with you on social media).

We have a statutory obligation to conduct the checks that we use the client on-boarding information of clients. If you choose not to provide that information, we will not be able to engage you as a client of the Company.
