PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy policy explains how we collect, store and process your personal data. Personal data is any information that can be used to identify an individual, either directly or indirectly. It can refer to obvious things like your name and address, but also to online identifiers such as IP addresses.

By making a purchase, creating an Idyll Home account, using our website, signing up to online marketing, entering an Idyll Home competition, or providing your details to us in store or over the phone, you are acknowledging that your personal data may be used according to the practices set out in this policy.

Our Privacy Promise

At Idyll Home, we promise to be transparent with you about how we use your personal data. We are committed to maintaining the safety and security of all personal data from the point of collection to its deletion from our company.

We have to collect some personal data from you in order to provide you with our services. This means that we may also need to share this information with third parties who help us to provide these services, such as our couriers so they can deliver your items to you. We will make sure that all third parties we are engaged with treat your personal data with as much respect as we do.

What personal data do we collect from you?

We have to collect some information from you so we can provide you with our services, for example when you order items from us. We do our best to make sure that we do not collect excessive information from you and limit it to only what is necessary for us to provide the service you require.

We do not collect any special category personal data from any of our customers. This includes information about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data. Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

Data we collect about you

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

• Identity data – name and title
• Contact data – address, postcode, email address and telephone numbers
• Transactional data – details of products you have purchased from us, including date and time of purchase and spend in relation to that purchase
• Technical data – internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access our website
• Profile data – purchases or orders made by you, your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses, preferences about the use of the services (including whether you are interested in certain services that we offer)
• Usage data – information about how you use our website, products and services
• Marketing and communications data – your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.

How we use your personal data

We are only allowed to use personal information about you if we have a legal basis to do so, and we are required to tell you what that legal basis is.  We have set out in the table below the personal information which we collect from you, how we use it, and the legal ground on which we rely when we use the personal information.

In some circumstances we can use your personal information if it is in our legitimate interest to do so, provided that we have told you what that legitimate interest is. A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information which, when balanced against your rights, is justifiable.

Deliveries

We will share your name, address, email address and phone number with our trusted couriers so that they can make the delivery to you and send delivery updates directly to you. We use different couriers depending on the size of the item(s) you have ordered, how quickly you have requested delivery and where you live, but we will always let you know who will be delivering your order.

Competitions

Sometimes we run competitions with other businesses. When entering a competition, you may choose whether to also receive marketing from them too. We will always be transparent with you about who the third party is, and we will not share your email with them for marketing unless you opt-in for this.

How long we keep your data

We work hard to ensure that we do not keep your personal data for longer than is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. Generally, we will not retain your personal data for longer than six years, as this is the statutory period for retaining HMRC records.

How we look after your data

We will protect the data you entrust to us with appropriate measures and controls, as well as ensuring that the companies we work with are just as careful with your data.

• We will always use appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent the loss, misuse, destruction or alteration of your personal data.
• We will continually test, audit and monitor our compliance with Information Security standards and relevant Data Protection regulations.
  • We are PCI DSS compliant – we do not store any of your card details when you make a payment to us.
• We ensure that the third parties we work with who process your personal data operate under a Data Sharing Agreement.
