  1. Information we use

We will only process the data we collect about you if there is a reason for doing so, and if that reason is permitted under data protection law. We will have a lawful basis for processing your information: 

  • if we need to process your information in order to provide you with our applications, services you have requested or to enter into a contract; 
  • we have your consent; 
  • we have a justifiable reason for processing your data; or 
  • we are under a legal obligation to do so.

Where we need to in order to provide you with the application/service you have requested or to enter into a contract, we use your information:

  • to enable us to provide you with access to the relevant parts of the Platform;
  • to supply the services you have requested;
  • to enable us to collect payment from you; 
  • to contact you where necessary concerning our services; 
  • to contact you in relation to applicable laws, regulatory requirements, government guidance and related; 
  • to contact you in relation to health and safety. 

We also process your data where we have a justifiable reason for doing so— for example personalisation of our service. We have listed these reasons below:

  • to improve the effectiveness and quality of service that our customers can expect from us in the future;
  • to tailor content that we or our suppliers display to you, for example so that we make sure you see the advertising which is most relevant to you, based on characteristics determined by us;
  • to enable our customer support team to help you with any enquiries or complaints in the most efficient way possible and to provide a positive customer experience;
  • to contact you for your views and feedback on our services and to notify you if there are any important changes or developments to the Platform or our services;
  • to send you information about our products, services and promotions (if you do not want to receive these, you can let us know by getting in touch (please see Contact Details));

You can choose to stop receiving push notifications from us at any time by changing your preferences on your mobile device or by getting in touch (please see Contact Details).

We will also analyse data about your use of our services from your location data to create profiles relating to you and for you. This means that we may make certain assumptions about what you may be interested in and use this, for example, to send you more tailored marketing communications or to let you know about special offers or products which we think you may be interested in. This activity is referred to as profiling. You have certain rights in relation to this type of processing. Please see ‘Your Rights’ section below for more information.

Where we rely on legitimate interest as a basis for processing your personal information, we carry out a ‘balancing test’ to ensure that our processing is necessary and that your fundamental rights of privacy are not outweighed by our legitimate interests. You can find out more information about these balancing tests by contacting us using the details above.

Where we are under a legal obligation to do so we may use your information to:

  • create a record of your subscriptions;
  • comply with any legal obligation or regulatory requirement to which we are subject.

We will not retain your information for any longer than we think is necessary.

Information that we collect will be retained for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes outlined above, in line with our legitimate interest or for a period specifically required by applicable regulations or laws, such as retaining the information for regulatory reporting purposes.

When determining the relevant retention periods, we will take into account factors including:

  • our contractual obligations and rights in relation to the information involved;
  • legal obligation(s) under applicable law to retain data for a certain period of time;
  • limitations under applicable law(s);
  • our legitimate interests where we have carried out balancing tests;
  • (potential) disputes; and
  • guidelines issued by relevant data protection authorities.

Otherwise, we securely erase your information where we no longer require your information for the purposes collected.

  1. Information Disclosure 

The information we collect about you will be transferred to and stored on our servers located within the EU. We are very careful and transparent about who else your information is shared with.

Sharing your information internally:

  • We share your information with our affiliate companies only where necessary for the purposes set out above.

Sharing your information with third parties:

We share your information with third party service providers. The types of third party service providers whom we share your information with includes:

  • Payment providers (including online payment providers and fraud detection providers): for the purposes of providing services to us, for example when they process information such as credit card payments for us, provide support services to you or carry out fraud checks for us;
  • IT service providers: including cloud, software, analytics, communications and data storage providers and SDKs.
  • Customer support partners: who will help us to resolve any issues you may have with our services; and
  • Marketing and advertising partners: so that they can ensure that you see advertising which is more relevant to you and send you email and postal marketing on our behalf.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy when it is transferred to third parties.

If our business enters into a joint venture with, purchases or is sold to or merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed or transferred to the target company, our new business partners or owners or their advisors.

We may also share your information:

  • if we are under a duty to disclose or share your information in order to comply with (and/or where we believe we are under a duty to comply with) any legal obligation, regulatory requirement or guidance. This includes exchanging information with other companies and other organisations for the purposes of health and safety, fraud protection and prevention;
  • in order to enforce our contractual terms with you and any other agreement;
  • to protect our rights, our affiliates or others, including to prevent fraud; and
  • with such third parties as we reasonably consider necessary in order to prevent crime, e.g. the police.

International transfers of data:

  • In some cases the personal data we collect from you might be processed outside the UK/European Economic Area (“EEA“). These countries may not have the same protections for your personal data as the EEA has. However, we are obliged to ensure that the personal data that is processed by us and our suppliers outside of the EEA is protected in the same ways as it would be if it was processed within the EEA. There are therefore certain safeguards in place when your data is processed outside of the EEA.
  • We ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
  • your personal data is transferred to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;
  • we use the EU approved Standard Contractual Clauses; and
  • where your personal data is transferred to third party providers based in the US, data may be transferred to them if they have self-certified under the Privacy Shield framework in relation to the type of data being transferred, which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the EU and the US.
  • Please contact us using the contact details above if you want further information on the countries to which personal data may be transferred and the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
  1. Security

We adopt robust technologies and policies to ensure the personal information we hold about you is suitably protected.

We take steps to protect your information from unauthorised access and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.

Where you have chosen a password that allows you to access certain parts of the Platform, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We advise you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will take steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Platforms; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
