7. How we use your personal data
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. We use your personal data for the purposes set out in this section. If we wish to make any changes to these purposes, or if we wish to use your personal data for any purpose that is not listed in this section, we will notify you using the contact details we hold for you.

The main ways we use your data are:

•   to provide you with our Platforms, Products and Services;
•   to deal with customer services and enquiries, carry out surveys and obtain feedback;
•   to carry out insight and analysis, such as analytics and improvement;
•   to personalize your shopping experience using automated decisionmaking;
•   to carry out our promotional, marketing, and advertising practices; and
•   for business administration (including recruitment), security and enforcement, and legal compliance purposes.


In specific situations, we collect and process your data with your consent, for example, when you tick a box or register your email to receive email newsletters. You can withdraw this consent at any time, for example, by clicking on the unsubscribe link. In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations, for example, if you order an item for home delivery, we will collect your address details to deliver your purchase and pass them to our courier. In exceptional circumstances, if the law requires us to, we may need to pass data for law enforcement, for example, details of people involved in online fraud.

To conduct our advertising and marketing, we work with agencies, ad networks, technology providers, and other third parties to place ads about our products and services on other websites and services. For example, we may place ads through Google that you may view on their platforms as well as on other websites and services. As part of this process, we incorporate tracking technologies into our website as well as into our ads displayed on other websites and services. Some of these tracking technologies may track your activities over time and across non-affiliated services and obtain or infer information about you for purposes of showing you relevant advertising based on your preferences and interests (“targeted advertising”). We may also use audience matching services (which is a type of targeted advertising) to reach people (or people similar to people) who have visited our website or are identified in one or more of our databases (“matched ads”). This is done by us providing a list of hashed email addresses to a third party or incorporating a pixel from a third party into our website, and the third party matching common factors between our data and their data.

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

Please see “Details of Processing” section below for more details on the ways we use your data and the legal bases on which we rely.

11. Your legal rights as a data subject
For users in all areas, we provide a variety of ways for you to exercise choice, as described below.

Communications.
You can opt-out of receiving certain communications from us as follows:

•   Emails. To stop receiving newsletters and marketing emails, change your communication preferences through your account settings, follow the unsubscribe instructions near the bottom of such emails. Please note that you cannot opt out of transactional messages.
•   SMS. To stop receiving SMS messages, text “STOP” in response to any text message you receive from us or contact us as set out in the How to Contact Us section above and specify you want to opt out of text messages.


Browser and Device Controls.

•   Preference signals. Your browser or extension may allow you to automatically transmit Do Not Track and other preference signals. Except as required by law, we do not respond to preference signals.
•   Third party opt-out tools. Some third parties we work with offer their own opt-out tools related to information collected through cookies and pixels. To opt out of your information being used by Google Analytics, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of any third party opt-out tools.
•   Industry opt-out tools for targeted advertising. Some of the third parties we work with participate in programs that allow you to opt-out of receiving targeted advertising from participants. To opt-out of receiving targeted advertising from participants of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) on your browser, visit https://www.aboutads.info/choices. To opt-out of receiving targeted advertising from participants of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) on your browser, visit https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. If you choose to opt-out of targeted advertising through these links, you should no longer see targeted advertising from the selected participants on the browser or device from which you opted-out, but the opt-out does not mean that the participants will not process your information for targeted advertising purposes or that you will not receive any advertising. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of any third party opt-out tools.


To the extent our processing of your personal data is caught by the requirements of the GDPR/UK GDPR, users in the EU or UK have certain rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details set out in the “How to Contact Us” section above.

Users in the EU or UK have the right to:

(i)     Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
(ii)     Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
(iii)     Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data 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 data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request for example we need to maintain your transactional data for our legal obligations to the local tax and revenue authorities.
(iv)     Object to processing of your personal data 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 as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
(v)     Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

i. If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
ii. Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
iii. Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
iv. You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

(vi)     Be excluded from automated decision making. Jellycat have a number of different customer and consumer types who we personalise experiences for. These include self-purchasers, gift buyers, professional collectors, stockist owners and more. Our personalisation of your experience is achieved through automating profiling based on purchase behaviours and information shared. You can select your preference at our contact preference centre, but opting out of this, you will not be able to receive any personalised inspiration or communications.
(vii)     Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
(viii)     Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
(ix)     To complain. If you feel that your data has not been handled correctly, or you are unhappy with our response to any requests you have made to us regarding the use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office by telephone on 0303 123 1113 or online at www.ico.org.uk/concerns. To the extent you are located in another jurisdiction, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in that jurisdiction.


If you are in CaliforniaColorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, or Nevada, please see the corresponding region-specific section below for information about your rights regarding your personal data.


12. Retention of personal data
Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we will only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. At the end of the retention period, your data will either be deleted completely, or anonymised, so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way.

In particular, when you place an order with us, we will ordinarily keep the personal data you give us for 5 years so we can comply with our legal and contractual obligations relating to the sale of goods. For nursery products we will hold the data for 10 years, and if your order included a warranty, the associated personal data will be kept until the end of the warranty period.

 

13. Region-specific provisions

United Kingdom/European Economic Area (EEA)


Data transfers outside the United Kingdom/EEA
Where necessary in order to provide our Platforms and our Products and Services, your personal data may be accessed by and processed outside the UK and/or EEA - including by staff operating outside the UK/EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers or agents (this includes staff engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your booking, ground handlers, and the provision of support services).

Non-EEA countries do not have the same data protection laws as the UK and the EEA. In particular, non-UK/EEA countries may not provide the same degree of protection for your personal data, may not give you the same rights in relation to your personal data and may not have a data protection supervisory authority to help you if you have any concerns about the processing of your personal data. For that reason, if we transfer your personal data outside the UK and/or EEA, we will take reasonable steps to ensure the security of your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. In particular, where required by applicable law, we will implement at least one of the safeguards set out below. Please contact us if you would like further information on the specific mechanisms used by us when transferring your personal data outside the UK or the EEA.

Adequacy decisions

We may transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission and/or the UK Government (as applicable).

Standard contractual clauses

Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and/or the UK Government which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe and/or the UK.
