5. Why we use your personal data

In order for our use of your personal information to comply with applicable data protection law, that use by us needs to fall under at least one of the specific lawful reasons that are set out in applicable data protection law. These lawful reasons include:

Contractual obligations.  In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations. For example, if you order an item from us for home delivery, we’ll collect your address details to deliver your purchase, and pass them to our courier.

Legal compliance.  If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data.  For example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity affecting us to law enforcement.

Legitimate interest.  In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our retail business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.  We want to give you the best possible customer experience. One way to achieve that is to get the richest picture we can of who you are through the personal data we hold. We can then use this to offer you promotions, products and services that are most likely to interest you. In the case of loyalty scheme members, we’ll also offer you relevant rewards.  

6. How we’ll use your personal data in accordance with the lawful bases above.

  • •  To process any orders that you make by using our website or in store.
  • •  To respond to your queries, refund requests and complaints.
  • •  To protect our business and your account from fraud and other illegal activities.
  • •  To protect our customers, premises, assets and staff from crime, we operate CCTV systems in our store which record images for security.
  • •  To process payments and to prevent fraudulent transactions.
  • •  With your consent, we will use your personal data, preferences and details of your transactions to keep you informed by email, web, text and telephone about relevant products and services including tailored special offers, discounts, promotions, events, competitions and so on.  You are free to opt out of hearing from us by any of these channels at any time.
  • •  To send you relevant, personalised communications by post in relation to updates, offers, services and products. You are free to opt out of hearing from us by post at any time.
  • •  To send you communications required by law or that may be necessary to inform you, such as product recall notices.
  • •  To administer any of our prize draws or competitions which you enter, based on your consent given at the time of entering.
  • •  Sometimes, we’ll need to share your details with a third party who is providing a service (such as delivery couriers).

 

7. How we protect your personal data

We know how much data security matters to all our customers. With this in mind we will treat your data with the utmost care and take all appropriate steps to protect it.

Your personal data is located in the Customer Database incorporated in the Ceci Paolo Retail Store EPoS system supplied by Cybertill.  Access to your personal data on this system is password-protected. Cybertill’s hosting partner is Amazon Web Services, the world’s largest hosting company.  All data is held in the strongest and safest possible environments and held in multiple high availability data centres – all within the EU.

When you create a shopping account while ordering online you will submit your personal data to register on the Website or to proceed as a Guest.  Your password will be encrypted by the system and will only be accessible to yourself.  Read Cybertill’s Privacy Policy.

When you make a purchase on the Website, you are taken to a secure site using ‘https’ technology operated by Opayo/Sage Pay.  Your credit card information will be stored securely by Opayo/Sage Pay.  Read Opayo/Sage Pay's Privacy Policy. 

Customers signing up for an account in store provide their details to a member of staff who inputs the information onto the Cybertill system. At the time of signing up to our customer data base you will have the opportunity to answer yes or no to accepting marketing emails, accepting third party emails and accepting post mailshots. Credit card payments made in store are processed on secure PDQ machines with encrypted receipts. Information is stored remotely by WorldPay and American Express.

8. How long will we keep your personal data?

Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. 

At the end of that retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymised, for example by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.

Some examples of customer data retention periods are:

Orders
When you place an order, we’ll keep the personal data you give us for seven years so we can comply with our legal and contractual obligations. In the case of certain products, such as electrical items, we’ll keep the data for 10 years.

Inactive accounts
If you’ve not used your account for more than five years, we’ll close the account and delete or anonymise the personal data associated with it. 

Warranties
If your order included a warranty, the associated personal data will be kept until the end of the warranty.

CCTV

Generally CCTV remains on our surveillence equipment for a maximum of 45 days after which it is overwritten. In the event that an incident has occurred during this period, images may be copied and provided to third parties such as the constabulary who may retain them in accordance with their own time policies.

9. Who do we share your personal data with?

We have a firm policy that we will not release your Personal Information to any company outside of Ceci Paolo Limited for mailing or marketing purposes.  However, we sometimes have to share your personal data with trusted third parties.  For example, IT companies who support our website and other business systems, delivery couriers, for fraud management and to handle complaints. We may also be required to disclose your personal data to the police or other enforcement, regulatory or Government body, in your country of origin or elsewhere, upon a valid request to do so.   In all such circumstances we provide only the information they need to perform their specific services. 

We may, from time to time, expand, reduce or sell Ceci Paolo and this may involve the transfer of the business to new owners. If this happens, your personal data will, where relevant, be transferred to the new owner or controlling party, under the terms of this Privacy Policy.
