What data does the Business collect?

When you visit, register or order products or services on the website, you may be asked to, or of your own volition, provide personal data, or personal information, which means information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

The Business may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you, which we have grouped together as follows:

• Identity Data: includes your title, first name, surname, date of birth and gender.
• Contact Data: includes your email address, billing address, delivery address and phone number.
• Transaction Data: includes details about payments to and from you and other details of products and services you have purchased from us.
• Technical Data: includes your internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access the website.
• Profile Data: includes purchases or orders made by you, your interests, preferences and any feedback and survey responses.
• Usage Data: includes information about how you use the website, products and services and any text that you may upload.
• Marketing and Communications Data: includes your preference in receiving marketing from us and your communication preferences.
• We do not hold any financial data as this is processed either through PayPal, Duologi or Stripe. We will only receive details of amounts paid or refunded, as appropriate.  

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this Policy.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

If you fail 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 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.

How is your personal data collected

We use different methods to collect data from and about you, including through:

• Direct interactions. You may give us your Identity and Contact Data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us. This includes personal data you provide when you:
• purchase our products or services;
• create an account on our website;
• subscribe to our newsletter;
• request marketing to be sent to you;
• enter a competition, promotion or survey; or
• give us feedback or contact us.
• Automated technologies or interactions. As you interact with our website, we will automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We collect this personal data by using cookies and other similar technologies. We may also receive Technical Data about you if you visit other websites employing our cookies. Please see our cookie policy below for further details.
• Third parties or publicly available sources. We will receive personal data about you from various third parties and public sources as set out below:

• Technical Data from analytics providers such as Google based outside the EU (Aggregated Data only);
• Contact and Transaction Data from providers of technical, payment and delivery services such as PayPal, Duologi and Stripe based inside the EU.

 

How we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, the Business will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• where we need to perform the contract we have entered into with you, e.g. to fulfil a sale of a product or service, which may include sharing such information with our partners, carriers and suppliers, or to respond to other enquires or requests by you. This also includes managing your payments;
• where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests, e.g. to notify you of changes to our terms or privacy policy, asking you to leave a review or take a survey, or to enable you to partake in a prize draw or competition, or to  make suggestions and recommendations to you about products or services that may be of interest to you, or for training and quality purposes (such as call recording); or
• where we need to comply with a legal obligation, e.g. where there is a product recall.

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.

 

Marketing

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although we will obtain your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising

 

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

 

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or you have opted in for receiving that marketing.

The Business regularly sends out a Newsletter via email (hereinafter "Newsletter") to all Users (unless they have ‘opted-out’). In these Newsletters, we may inform you about new features from WEATHERBEETA LIMITED and about upcoming events or special promotions.

We will obtain your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting customer service at info@weatherbeeta.co.uk or clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any of our emails. Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.

 

Disclosures of your personal data

We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes described above.

• External Third parties. This includes:
  • Service Providers acting as processors (including our systems administration and IT service providers), based in UK;
  • Professional advisers acting as controllers (including lawyers, auditors and insurers who provide legal, insurance and accounting services), based in the UK.
  • HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities, acting as controllers based in the UK who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
• Specific Third Parties such as:
  • Dotdigital based in Amsterdam (Netherlands), with back-ups stored in Ireland, acting as processor to provide marketing services;
  • Feefo and Wyng, both based in the UK, acting as processor to provide marketing services; and

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 Policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party 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.

International Transfers

The website is based in the UK and therefore there will be data transfers between the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA) and between the UK and other jurisdictions.

We share your personal data within the Business’ Group. This will involve transferring your data outside the EEA, in particular, to the UK. Many of our external third parties are also based outside the EEA, so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA too.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure that Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are implemented to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it.

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