6. Marketing

During the registration process on our website when your personal data is collected, you will be asked to indicate your preferences for receiving direct marketing communications from Lawrence David. We may also analyse your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view which products, services and offers may be of interest to you so that we can then send you relevant marketing communications.

You can ask to stop sending you marketing communications at any time by following the opt-out links within any marketing communication sent to you or by emailing us at dpo@lawrencedavid.co.uk.

If you opt out of receiving marketing communications, you will still receive service-related communications that are essential for administrative or customer service purposes, for example relating to order confirmations, updates to our terms and conditions and checking that your contact details are correct.

We will not share your personal data with any third party for their own direct marketing purposes.

7. Who we share your personal data with

We may share your personal data where necessary with the parties and for the purposes set out below.

  • Wielton Group companies (including Wielton S.A.) for group management and reporting purposes.
  • Service providers who act on our instructions under contract, such as website hosting, IT support, email and marketing platforms, and analytics providers.
  • Payment providers (Opayo and Stripe) which process card payments for the parts store on our behalf.
  • Delivery and logistics partners, so that orders can be delivered to you.
  • Professional advisers, insurers, auditors and, where the law requires it, regulators and law enforcement.
  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. 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 privacy policy.

Where a third party processes personal data on our behalf, we require such third party 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.

8. International transfers

We store your personal data primarily in the UK, and we take payments only within the UK and European Economic Area (EEA).

Some of your personal data may be shared with Wielton Group companies in Poland. As Poland is within the EEA, it is deemed by the UK to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.

We may also transfer your personal data to service providers that carry out certain functions on our behalf. This may involve transferring your personal data outside the UK to countries which have laws that do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK law.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK to service providers, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that the following safeguards are in place:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed by the UK to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
  • We may use specific standard contractual terms approved for use in the UK which give the transferred personal data the same protection as it has in the UK, namely the International Data Transfer Agreement. To obtain a copy of these contractual safeguards, please contact us by email to dpo@lawrencedavid.co.uk.

9. How long we keep your personal data

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are as follows:

DataRetention period
Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction DataBy law we have to keep basic information about our customers for 6 years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
Recruitment DataIn respect of unsuccessful job applications, we will retain this data for 6 months from the end of the recruitment exercise, or 12 months with your consent so that we can consider you for future vacancies.
Marketing and Communications DataWe will retain this data until you opt out (see paragraph 6 above), or after 2 years without any engagement from you.
Usage and Technical DataWe will retain this data for no longer than 26 months.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data (see paragraph 11 below for further information).

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

10. How we protect your personal data

We have put in place appropriate security measures, including TLS encryption (shown by the padlock and https:// in your browser), to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

In addition, access to personal data is restricted to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know, and they will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Card payments are handled by our PCI DSS compliant payment providers, Opayo and Stripe.

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

11. Your rights

You have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data:

  • Access (commonly known as a “subject access request”) – request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction – ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you (though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us).
  • Erasure – ask us to delete your personal data in certain circumstances, including where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it, 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.
  • Restriction – ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in one of the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) 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; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Transfer – 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.
  • Objection – object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on legitimate interests (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object. You also have the absolute right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (see paragraph 6 above for details of how to object to receiving direct marketing communications).
  • Withdraw consent – where we are relying on consent to process your personal data, you can withdraw such consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew 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.

To exercise any of the rights set out above, please email dpo@lawrencedavid.co.uk.

We will try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us to confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

12. Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, please tell us by email to dpo@lawrencedavid.co.uk or by writing to Data Protection, Lawrence David Limited, Woodston Point, Shrewsbury Avenue, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, PE2 7LB. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days and investigate it in accordance with our Data Protection Complaints Handling Policy, a copy of which is available on request.

However, before doing so please make sure you have first made your complaint to us and asked us for clarification if there is something you do not understand.
