Privacy Notice

1.  General

1.1              Be your No. 1 Cheerleader  (“we” or “us”) take the privacy of your information very seriously. Our Privacy Notice is designed to tell you, the user of our services about our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information which may be provided to us via our websites, associated apps and other digital products we provide or collected through other means such as an online form, email, or telephone communication.

1.2              This notice applies to personal data provided by our users, whether they are a customer for our products or otherwise. In this notice “you” refers to any individual whose personal data we hold or process (other than our staff).

1.3              In this notice references to the “Service” are references to any website, app or other means by which you provide personal data to us or access our services.

1.4              This notice is governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) from 25 May 2018.

2.                 Basis on which we process personal data

2.1              Personal data we hold about you will be processed either because:

2.1.1         the processing is necessary in pursuit of a “legitimate interest”, a legitimate interest in this context means a valid interest we have or a third party has in processing your personal data which is not overridden by your interests in data privacy and security;

2.1.2         you have consented to the processing for the specific purposes described in this notice;

2.1.3         the processing is necessary in order for us to comply with our obligations under a contract between you and us.

3.                 Personal data we collect

3.1              We may collect and process the following personal data (information that can be uniquely identified with you) about you:

3.1.1         log-in details and information you provide when setting up an account on the Service (“Login Information”);

3.1.2         information you provide to us relating to your account or profile with us (“Account Information”);

3.1.3         contact information we collect from you (for example, your name, address, telephone number, email address) (“Contact Information”);

3.1.4         information we collect which relates to orders you have placed with us, including products you have ordered, delivery destinations the price of products you have ordered and any customisation (“Order Information”);

3.1.5         information provided relating to payment (“Payment Information”), but please note that credit or debit card information may be supplied directly to a third party payment processor who will process the data in accordance with their own privacy notices or policies (see below);

3.1.6         a record and details of any correspondence or communication between you and us or relating to any complaint submitted to us (“Communication Information”);

3.1.7         details of your use of the Service, the resources and pages that you access and any searches you make (“Technical Information”);

3.1.8         replies to any surveys or questionnaires that we may use for research, marketing and business development purposes (“Survey Information”).

3.2              We will not collect any sensitive personal data without your prior consent. By sensitive personal data we mean data which falls within certain ‘special categories’ which are defined in the GDPR (e.g. health data) and which require additional protection and consent measures.

3.3              Generally we collect personal data directly, but we may obtain data from third parties from time to time including database owners. For instance we may licence data from a postcode database in order to ensure efficient shipping. If we do obtain your personal data from a third party your privacy rights under this notice are not affected and you are still able to exercise the rights contained within this notice.

3.4              You do not have to supply any personal information to us but the Service may not be operable without providing data to us. In particular we will be able to fulfil an order without collecting some personal data from you.

3.5              You may withdraw our authority to process your personal data (or request that we restrict our processing – see clause 9) at any time but we will be entitled to complete any orders we are then processing and we may need to withhold some personal data for legal or other reasons (see below).

10.              Your privacy rights

10.1           The GDPR gives you the following rights in respect of personal data we hold about you:

The right to be informed

You have a right to know about our personal data protection and data processing activities, details of which are contained in this notice.

The right of access

You can make what is known as a Subject Access Request (“SAR”) to request information about the personal data we hold about you (free of charge, save for reasonable expenses for repeat requests). If you wish to make a SAR please contact us as described below.

The right to correction

Please inform us if information we hold about you is incomplete or inaccurate in any way and we will update our records as soon as possible, but in any event within one month.

We will take reasonable steps to communicate the change to any third parties to whom we have passed the same information.

The right to erasure (the ‘right to be forgotten’)

Please notify us if you no longer wish us to hold personal data about you (although in practice it is not possible to provide our services without holding your personal data). Unless we have reasonable grounds to refuse the erasure, on receipt of such a request we will securely delete the personal data in question within one month. The data may continue to exist in certain backup, but we will take steps to ensure that it will not be accessible.

We will communicate the erasure to any third parties to whom we have passed the same information.

The right to restrict processing

You can request that we no longer process your personal data in certain ways, whilst not requiring us to delete the same data.

The right to data portability

You have right to receive copies of personal data we hold about you in a commonly used and easily storable format (please let us know a format which suits you). You may also request that we transfer your personal data directly to third party (where technically possible).

The right to object

Unless we have overriding legitimate grounds for such processing, you may object to us using your personal data if you feel your fundamental rights and freedoms are impacted. You may also object if we use your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling) or for research or statistical purposes. Please notify your objection to us and we will gladly cease such processing, unless we have overriding legitimate grounds.

Rights with respect to automated decision-making and profiling

You have a right not to be subject to automated decision-making (including profiling) when those decisions have a legal (or similarly significant effect) on you. You are not entitled to this right when the automated processing is necessary for us to perform our obligations under a contract with you, it is permitted by law, or if you have given your explicit consent.

Right to withdraw consent

If we are relying on your consent as the basis on which we are processing your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Even if you have not expressly given your consent to our processing, you also have the right to object (see above).

10.2           All SARs and other requests or notifications in respect of your above rights must be sent to us in writing to Ekua Cant, 6 Matchless Drive, London, SE18 4JF (Email: ekua.cant@gmail.com)

10.3           We will endeavour to comply with such requests as soon as possible but in any event we will comply within one month of receipt (unless a longer period of time to respond is reasonable by virtue of the complexity or number of your requests).

11.              Data Breaches

11.1           If personal data we hold about you is subject to a breach or unauthorised disclosure or access, we will report this to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
