3. How will We Use Your Information?

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the "GDPR") and the Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, "the Data Protection Legislation"), We must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. Set out below are the ways in which We may use Your personal data, and our lawful bases for doing so:

  • Registering you on Our website and setting up, operating and managing Your account (on the basis of performance of a contract with you and our legitimate interest in providing our users with our services);
  • To respond to any enquiry or complaint from You (on the basis of your consent, on the basis of our legitimate interest to respond to customer enquiries and to comply with our legal obligations);
  • In order to enforce or apply Our terms of use (on the basis of operating a lawful business, or otherwise to comply with our legal obligations);
  • To investigate suspected unlawful, fraudulent or other improper or illegal activity connected with use of the Website and to report a crime or suspected crime, including money laundering or fraud (on the basis of our legitimate interest to defect and prevent fraud and to operate a lawful business, or where we have a legal obligation to do so);
  • To comply with Our legal and regulatory duties, obligations and responsibilities (on the basis of operating a lawful business, or otherwise to comply with our legal obligations);
  • To enhance Our customer service and provide access to our website and a more personalised service including making suggestions and recommendations to you about goods or services that may be of interest to you (on the basis of our legitimate interests to develop our products/services and grow our business);

  • To keep you informed of news, future events, offers and promotions, new services and features from Us and our affiliate partners that we believe may interest you , provided that we have the requisite permission to do so as further described in section 6 (Marketing) below (either on the basis of consent where we have requested it, or our legitimate interests to provide you with marketing communications where we may lawfully do so);
  • To use data analytics to optimise the use of our website, to improve our website, products and services and customer relationships (on the basis of our legitimate interests in personalising, enhancing, modifying or otherwise improving the services and/or communications that we provide to you); and;
  • Any other purpose which is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations to You.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

We generally keep personal data for a period of four years from the date of last use of our website and services. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

5. Will we share Your Information with third parties?

The offers on yourbabyclub.co.uk are provided by the third parties displayed on our website from time to time and, as part of the provision of goods and/or services to you by them, we may share your data with them for the provision of these goods and services. However, we will only share your data with these third parties if you have expressly consented to this by ticking a box next to the third party offer/promotion confirming that you are happy to receive offers and marketing communications from that party. These third parties will be clearly identified. By ticking this box and applying for these offers, goods and services you are agreeing to be added to their database of users and may receive marketing material and email communications from them (which to which you may unsubscribe at any time). Each such third party will act as a data controller in relation to the data that we supply to it. These third parties have their own privacy policies which will govern that third party's use of your personal data and some have their own opt-in statements. We strongly recommend that you read and understand this information.

If we sell, transfer or merge part of our business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to a third party. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

We may disclose any of Your Information if we are legally required or permitted to do so without prior notice to You if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority, or in relation to suspected unlawful, fraudulent or other improper activity connected with use of the Website and to report a crime or suspected crime, including money laundering or fraud

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law and we only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

6. Marketing

We may also use Your Information to send You targeted marketing material from time to time relating to Our Services such as future events, other promotional activities and information about special offers that we feel may be of interest to you.

If you are a new customer, you will only be contacted if you agree to it. You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam. You will receive marketing communications from third parties only if you have opted in to receiving such information. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit. We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

If you have opted-in to receive our e-mail subscription alerts, we may send you periodic e-mails. If you have not opted-in to receive these, you will not receive these alerts.

We may communicate with You by the following methods: email, SMS and telephone. You have the right to ask us or third parties to stop receiving our marketing communications at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you.

7. Your rights

You have the following rights under the Data Protection Legislation:

  • The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data.
  • The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
  • The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we hold.
  • The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.
  • The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time (if that is what we are relying on as the legal basis for using your personal data).
  • The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many case.
  • Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
