PRIVACY NOTICE

Before we go on…

This privacy notice has been written to explain what information we collect from you as a visitor to our website and/or a customer.

In a nutshell, please rest assured that we take data privacy very seriously. We won’t misuse your data, collect information we don’t need or pass your details to any third parties who do not need it or who you would not expect us to.

We also take additional offline security measures to protect your data. If you’re interested in learning about these, please read on.

Data subjects, processors and controllers

Data subject – you, the visitor, the customer
Data controller – us, we, Bathrooms R Us Ltd
Data processor – partners (delivery, payment processing, marketing)

What is our lawful basis for processing personal data?

Bathrooms R Us processes personal data using two lawful grounds under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into effect on May 25th 2018:

Contractual – in order to fulfil a contract (your order)
Legitimate Interests – for feedback and marketing purposes

What information do we collect?

When you place an order on our website, we collect the following data from you:

Name
Address
Email Address
Telephone number
IP Address

Who do we share this information with?

Once you have paid for your order, we are contractually obliged to fulfil the order and send you your goods. In order to do this, aspects of your information may be shared with some or all of the following:

Delivery partners (usually Royal Mail for samples and Tuffnells for paid orders sometimes other courier companies)
Payment processing partner (we use Square we never have access to your card details)
Marketing partner (we use MailChimp – please see ‘Email Marketing’ below)

We have agreements in place with all of the partners we share your information with and all are compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

What do we use your email address for?

Once you place your order, you will generally receive the following:

Order confirmation email (as soon as you place your email)
Order complete email
Feedback request (five days after completion)
Marketing emails (please see ‘Email Marketing’ below)

Email Marketing

Once you are a Bathrooms R Us customer, we will process your data for marketing purposes using ‘Legitimate Interests’ as our lawful basis for doing so.

‘Legitimate Interests’ means that we can process your personal information if we have a genuine and legitimate reason and we are not harming any of your rights and interests. You will always have the right to opt out at any time and we will always honour any such requests.

We won’t pass your details to third parties, other than data processing partners (i.e. MailChimp) and only send an average of one or two marketing emails per month.

How long do we process data for?

Unless you have registered as a trade customer, we will consider you as a ‘customer’ of Bathrooms R Us for 18 months from the date of your last order. If you do not order again within 18 months you will automatically be opted out of receiving our direct marketing emails.

If you order again from us after 18 months and have not previously opted out by unsubscribing, we have a legitimate interest to start sending you marketing communications about our products and services again.

It is illegal for us to send you marketing emails if you have previously unsubscribed. For that reason, a record of your email address will be kept in order to prevent further emails (for example, if you order with us again but have previously asked to opt out of marketing emails, we want to avoid your email being re-added to our marketing database).

If you have registered as a trade customer, and you don’t place an order for more than 18 months, we will contact you to as whether or not you would like to keep your trade account open.

Your rights

You can opt out of marketing messages at any time by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any of the emails you receive.

Right of access – the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you
Right of rectification – the right to correct data that we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete
Right to be forgotten – you can ask for the data we hold about you to be erased from our records unless we’re otherwise obliged to retain it
Right to restriction of processing – where certain conditions apply to have a right to restrict the processing
Right of portability – the right to have the data we hold about you transferred to another organisation
Right to object – the right to object to certain types of processing such as direct marketing (opt out)
