What we use your Personal Data for

We use your personal data to administer the business of Carbon13.

Change of purpose

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.

Lawful basis

Our processing of your personal information is necessary:

  • For the performance of contracts to which you will be a party to and in order to take steps at your request prior to you entering into those contracts;
  • For the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us; or
  • In order to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

In relation to any processing of special categories of personal information such as information about your health, we will generally rely on obtaining specific consent from you at the time, unless there is otherwise a legal requirement for us to process such information.

Legitimate interests

Where our processing is based on the legitimate interest grounds described above, those legitimate interests are: collecting personal information to provide you with a smooth and efficient experience and running our business.

Security of your personal data

All personal data is stored securely in accordance with the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation and to ensure that your data is protected we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures on our website and other data processing systems.

We endeavour to do our best in order to protect your personal data, and to take reasonable precautions in line with prevailing practice under the GDPR. However, as you will be aware, the transmission of information over the internet is not entirely secure.

Disclosing your personal data

Unless we are obliged to or permitted by law or regulatory requirements to do so, and subject to third party disclosures specifically set out within this policy, your data will not be disclosed to third parties. This does not include our affiliates and/or companies within our group of companies, if any.

Carbon13 may, for the purpose of running our business, share your information with the following categories of companies:

  • Professional service providers, such as marketing agencies, advertising partners and website hosts who help us run our business;
  • Analytics and search engine providers that may assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site;
  • Third parties who support our information technology or handle mailings or events on our behalf;
  • Law enforcement agencies, other governmental agencies or third parties if we are required by law to do so, or in other limited circumstances (for example if required by a court order or regulatory authority, or if we believe that such action is necessary to prevent fraud or cyber-crime or to protect the site, our technology assets or the rights, property or personal safety of any person);
  • Other third parties for those purposes that may be reasonably ascertained from the circumstances in which the information was submitted;
  • Other business entities should we plan to merge with or be acquired by that business entity, or if we undergo a re-organisation with that entity; and
  • Any successor in interest, in the event of a liquidation or administration of Carbon13.

International transfers of personal data

Information which we collect from you may be stored and processed in and transferred to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). This includes the United States of America.

When we, or our permitted third parties, transfer your information outside the EEA, we or they will impose obligations on the recipients of that data to protect your information to the standard required in the EEA or otherwise require the recipient to subscribe to international frameworks intended to enable secure data sharing. In the case of transfers by us, we will put in place appropriate safeguards to ensure that your information remains adequately protected.

Marketing and Communications

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

  • Promotional offers from us . 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. You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
  • Third-party marketing.  We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company outside the Carbon13 group of companies for marketing purposes.
  • Opting out. You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time. 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, product/service experience or other transactions.

How long will you use my personal data for?

  • We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements to the extent that we are required to do so by law;
  • if we believe that the documents may be relevant to any ongoing or prospective legal proceedings; and
  • in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk).

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 requirements.

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances we may 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.
