4.     How we use your personal information 

Your privacy is protected by law.

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. If we are relying on our legitimate interests, we have set that out in the table below.


5.     Who we share your personal information with 

We may share your personal information with any of the following organisations, for the purposes of providing the products which you have requested from us:

·         Courier companies who deliver products that you have ordered

·         Third party organisations that provide applications/functionality, data processing or IT services to us. For example, we use third parties to help provide, run and manage our internal IT systems, manage payments on our behalf, email marketing campaigns and customer analytics. These include providers of IT services, cloud-based software as services providers, data analysis, security and storage services (these include Squarespace and Voxmail)

·         From time to time we will employ freelance and contract workers to assist our business and these people may have access to personal information in the course of their activities. We will always minimise the scope of such access and will ensure that appropriate confidentiality agreements are in place.

We require all organisations who we share your data with to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.  We do not allow any of our service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.


6.     Failing to provide personal 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 products 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.


7.     Third party links

8.     Transferring your personal information outside the EEA

The EEA is the European Economic Area, which consists of the EU Members States, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. If we transfer your personal information outside the EEA we have to tell you. 

We will only send your data outside of the EEA if:

·         You have instructed us to do so

·         To comply with a legal duty

To work with our suppliers who help us provide our services. We may share your personal data with some third-party companies such as data processors to provide technology for email, subscription and payment support. Some of these companies may be based outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out 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:

·         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.

·         Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

·         Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.


9.     Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator (including the ICO) of a breach where we are legally required to do so.


How long do we keep your personal information

Marketing 

We may use your personal information to tell you about relevant products and any upcoming offers. 

We can only use your personal information to send you marketing messages if we have either your consent or a legitimate interest to do so. 

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time – you just need to contact us, or use the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you.

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company other than us for marketing purposes. You can ask a third-party company to stop sending you marketing messages at any time, by adjusting your marketing preferences in relation to that company or by using the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you.

Where you opt out of receiving marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of purchasing our products or any other transaction between you and us.


Your rights 

You have certain rights which are set out in the law relating to your personal information. The most important rights are set out below.

Getting a copy of the information we hold 

You can ask us for a copy of the personal information which we hold about you, by writing to us at info@corsidesign.it  This is known as a data subject access request.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data, unless we believe that your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. In such circumstances we can charge a reasonable fee or refuse to comply with your request.

We will try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month and in that case we will notify you and keep you updated.

Telling us if information we hold is incorrect 

You have the right to question any information we hold about you that you think is wrong or incomplete. Please contact us at info@corsidesign.it if you want to do this and we will take reasonable steps to check its accuracy and, if necessary, correct it.

Telling us if you want us to stop using your personal information

You have the right to:

·         object to our use of your personal information (known as the right to object)

·         ask us to delete the personal information (known as the right to erasure)

·         request the restriction of processing

·         ask us to stop using it if there is no need for us to use it (known as the right to be forgotten).

There may be legal reasons why we need to keep or use your data, which we will tell you if you exercise one of the above rights.

Where we rely on our legitimate interest

In cases where we are processing your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest, you can ask us to stop for reasons connected to your individual situation. We must then do so unless we believe we have a legitimate overriding reason to continue processing your personal data.

Withdrawing consent

You can withdraw your consent to us using your personal information at any time. Please contact us at info@corsidesign.it if you want to withdraw your consent.  If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with certain products or services.
