DATA LAWS
\nDirectbulbs committed to protecting your privacy. We will only use the information that we collect about you lawfully. In addition to the updated General Data Protection Act 25th May 2018 and Eprivacy policy 2018.<\/p>\n
The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:<\/p>\n
Consent
\nIn specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent. For example, when you tick a box to receive an email newsletter.<\/p>\n
When collecting your personal data, we\u2019ll always make clear to you which data is necessary in connection with a particular service<\/p>\n
2. Contractual obligations<\/p>\n
In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations. For example, if you order an item from us for home delivery, we\u2019ll collect your address details to deliver your purchase and pass them to our courier.<\/p>\n
3. Legal compliance<\/p>\n
If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data.\u00a0 For example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity affecting Directbulbs to law enforcement.<\/p>\n
4. Legitimate interest<\/p>\n
In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.\u00a0 For example, we will use your purchase history to send you or make available personalised offers.<\/p>\n
HOW AND WHEN DO WE COLLECT YOUR DATA?
\nOur systems collect address and buying information at the point of order so that we may process your order and provide you with the best possible service.<\/p>\n
We may also collect your data in any of the following circumstances:<\/p>\n
When you visit our website, and use your account to buy products and services, or redeem vouchers.
\nWhen you make an online purchase and check out as a guest (in which case we just collect transaction-based data).
\nWhen you create an account with us on our website..
\nWhen you engage with us on social media.
\nWhen you contact us by any means with queries, complaints etc.
\nWhen you comment on or review our products and services.
\nWhen you\u2019ve given a third party permission to share with us the information they hold about you.
\nWhen you ask us to contact you when a specific product is back in stock with regard to any of our other products.<\/p>\n
We use this information to make your shopping experience as easy and enjoyable as possible. We need it to process your order, inform you of any delays or problems and occasionally to send you special offers and promotions, although you can unsubscribe at any time.<\/p>\n
The information we collect is:<\/p>\n
Your name
\nEmail address \u2013 so we can email your order confirmations, delivery details, offers etc.
\nDelivery address
\nTelephone number or mobile number \u2013 we\u2019ll only call if we have a delivery problem or to talk to you about your order
\nCredit card details \u2013 we only ask for these when you place an order and are subsequently securely destroyed once the order has been processed.<\/p>\n
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR DATA
\nWe know how much data security matters to all our customers. With this in mind we will treat your data with the utmost care and take all appropriate steps to protect it.<\/p>\n
We secure access to all transactional areas of our websites and apps using \u2018https\u2019 technology.<\/p>\n
We regularly have our systems monitored for possible vulnerabilities and attacks who also carry out penetration testing to identify ways to further strengthen security.<\/p>\n
We use the latest secure server technology to ensure all information is protected to the highest standards.<\/p>\n
We use encryption to safeguard your credit card information and only accept orders from web browsers that permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology – this means you cannot inadvertently place an order through an unsecured connection. Most web browsers above version three support this security.<\/p>\n
This encryption makes it virtually impossible for unauthorised parties to read any information that you send us.<\/p>\n
HOW LONG WILL WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
\nWhenever we keep your personal data we\u2019ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.<\/p>\n
YOUR MAILING PREFERENCES
\nWe want to give you the best possible customer experience. One way to achieve that is to get the best picture we can of who you are by combining the data we have about you.<\/p>\n
We then use this to offer you promotions, products and services that are most likely to interest you.<\/p>\n
The data privacy law allows this as part of our legitimate interest in understanding our customers and providing the highest levels of service.<\/p>\n
