If you choose not to share your personal data with us, or refuse certain contact permissions, we might not be able to provide some services you’ve asked for or expect.

Here’s how we’ll use your personal data and why:

• To process any orders you make by using our websites. If we don’t collect your personal data during checkout, we won’t be able to process your order and comply with our legal obligations. For example, your details may need to be passed to a third party to supply or deliver the product that you ordered, and we may keep your details for a reasonable period afterwards in order to fulfil any contractual obligations such as refunds, guarantees and so on.

• So we can respond to your queries, refund requests and complaints. Handling the information you sent enables us to respond. We may also keep a record of these to inform any future communication with us and to demonstrate how we communicated with you over time and with completeness. We do this on the basis of our contractual obligations to you, our legal obligations and our legitimate interests in providing you with the best possible service and understanding how we can improve our service based on your experience on our website and also on telephone calls with us or live chats.
• To send you email notifications when you place a product in your basket and you abandon your browsing before completing your checkout. We do this based on our legitimate interest. To provide you with tracking information so that you can follow your order. We do this under legitimate interest to enhance your customer experience and give you more information in relation to where your delivery is and when your order is likely to arrive.
• To protect our business and your account from fraud and other illegal activities. This includes using your personal data to maintain, update and protect your account. We’ll also keep an eye on your browsing activity with us to identify and fix any problems and protect the integrity of our websites. We will do this as part of our legitimate interest.

• To process payments and to stop fraudulent transactions. We do this on the basis of our legitimate business interests. This also helps to protect customers from fraudulent activities.
• If we discover any criminal activity or alleged criminal activity through our use of fraud monitoring and suspicious transaction monitoring, we will process this data for the purposes of preventing or detecting unlawful acts. We aim is to protect the individuals we interact with from criminal activities.

You are free to opt out of hearing from us by any of these channels at any time.

• To send you communications required by law or which are needed to let you know about changes to the services we provide you. For example, updates to this Privacy Policy, product recall notices, and legally required information relating to your orders. These messages will not include any promotional content and do not require prior consent when sent by email or text message. If we do not use your personal data for these purposes, we would not be able to comply with our legal obligations.

• To build a rich and more complete picture of who you are, what you like and prefer, and to inform our business decisions, we’ll combine data captured from across our company, third parties and data from publicly-available lists as we have described in the section 'What Sort of Personal Data do we collect?' We’ll do this on the basis of our legitimate business interest.

• For our member or logged in area, to decide which information to show you, with the help of technological algorithms. We do so on the basis of your consent when you become a member by creating an account. If you don’t want to continue receiving offers, you’ll be unable to continue your account with us.

• Sometimes, we’ll need to share your details with a third party who is providing a service (such as a delivery courier). Without sharing your personal data, we’d be unable to fulfil your request for a delivery on particular times and dates.
• You can find more information on how we share personal data with third parties within our cookie policy.
• Help inform business decisions for example which 3rd Party websites we partner with to make sure that our advertising reaches our customers.

Across Comfort Click, we record your interactions with us e.g. looking at how often you might shop with us or how much you spend. We do this to create a profile on how you interact with us and in turn, that can affect how we engage with you. For example, if you shop with us regularly, then this can affect what offers and rewards you may get from us. We rely upon our legitimate interest to undertake this activity.

When you purchase a product from us that is delivered by the manufacturer or supplier, we will pass on your contact details so that they can deliver your purchased product. The same with regards to warranties provided by the manufacturer or supplier of the product you purchased. We do this to make sure that we fulfil our contractual obligations to you.

If the manufacturers or suppliers wish to pass your details to other third parties, or use it for any other purpose, they must provide you with sufficient information about who they share your personal data with, and for what purposes they intend to use it, and in some cases they may be required to ask for your consent to do so. If they do not provide you with that information or collect your consent, and you are worried that they may have shared your personal data with someone else, you are entitled to contact them directly for further clarity.

We want to bring you offers and promotions that are most relevant to your interests at particular times. To help us form a better, overall understanding of you as a customer, we combine your personal data gathered across our websites as described above, for example your shopping history at our Websites. For this purpose we also combine the data that we collect directly from you with data that we obtain from third parties to whom you have given your consent to pass that data onto us – such as the Land Registry mentioned above.

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 careful steps to protect it.

We secure access to all transactional areas of our websites using SSL certification (or otherwise known as) ‘https’ technology.

Access to your personal data is password-protected, and sensitive data such as payment card information is secured and tokenised to ensure it is protected.

We regularly monitor our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks to identify ways to further strengthen security.

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.

We will only share your personal data with trusted third parties.

Here’s the rule we apply to those third parties to keep your data safe and to protect your privacy:

• We provide only the information they need to perform their specific services.
• They may only use your data for the purposes we specify in our contract with them.
• We work closely with them to ensure that your privacy is protected at all times.
• If we stop using their services, any of your data held by them will either be deleted or made anonymous.

• For fraud management, we may share information about fraudulent or potentially fraudulent activity in our premises or systems. This may include sharing data about individuals with law enforcement authorities.
• 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. These requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and take the privacy of our customers into account.
• We may, from time to time, expand, reduce, sell or transfer our companies and this might involve the transfer of divisions or the whole 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.
