For more information on the special categories of data we collect and how we use it, please refer to the relevant section below.
  • Personal data we collect automatically. We also receive and store certain types of personal data whenever you interact with us online.

Certain categories of personal data, such as racial and ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health, sexuality genetic or biometric data are classified as “special categories of data” and benefit from additional protection under the European data protection legislation (GDPR).

We limit the circumstances, where we collect and process these special categories of data.

The Company sometimes collects data related to your health such as medical record, medications, allergies, nutrition habits, food intolerance (dysanexia) to send you tailored ads and relevant promotions. The Company only collects and uses this personal data where you have provided us with your consent to do so. In some instances, you may have requested services that do not directly involve the collection of any special categories of data, but may imply or suggest your religion, health or other special categories of data.

To illustrate circumstances where the Company collects and processes special categories of data we have provided the following examples:

The Company collects data about your nutrition habits, allergies or food intolerance, so as to offer during your stay at our premises proper meals and safer practice. For more information on the Company’s profiling activities, please refer to the relevant section on profiling.

We understand the importance of taking extra precautions to protect the privacy and safety of children using the Company’s services.

The Company website is designed and intended for use by adults and the access to it is forbidden to users under the age of 16.

If you are a child under the age where parental consent is required in your Country, you should review the terms of this Privacy Notice with your parent or guardian to make sure you understand and accept them. If we discover that we have collected personal data from a child without consent from a parent or guardian where such consent should have been obtained, we will delete that personal data as soon as practical.

We sometimes use your personal data to carry out age verification checks and enforce any such age restrictions.

We collect, process and disclose your personal data only for specific and limited purposes. For example, to process your payments, to assess and handle any complaints, to develop and improve our services, communication methods and the functionality of our website, to provide personalised services, communications and targeted advertising, as well as service recommendations to you.

We also create profiles by analysing the information about your online surfing, searching and buying behaviour and your interactions with our services, by building segments (creating groups that have certain common characteristics) and by placing your personal data in one or more segments.

Additionally, the Company may process your personal data also using automated means. An automated decision is a decision which is made solely by automatic means, where no humans are involved in the decision-making process related to your personal data.

We collect, process and disclose your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To process your payments, if you use our services, to provide you with your order status;
  • To process and contact you so as to answer your inquiries and questions or value and handle your concerns;
  • To develop and improve our services, communication methods and the functionality of our website;
  • For the purposes of competitions or promotions that you have entered;
  • To communicate information to you and to manage your registration and/or subscription to our newsletter or other communications;
  • To manage our everyday business needs regarding your participation in our contests, sweepstakes or promotional activities or your request;
  • To authenticate the identity of individuals contacting us by telephone, electronic means or otherwise;
  • For internal training and quality assurance purposes;
  • To understand and assess the interests, wants, and changing needs of consumers, to improve our website, our current services, and/or developing new services;
  • To provide personalised communications and targeted (direct and indirect) advertising as well as service recommendations to you.

When we collect and use your personal data for other purposes than the ones mentioned above, we will inform you before or at the time of collection.

Where appropriate, we will ask for your consent to process the personal data. Where you have given consent for processing activities, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

In some cases, we rely on legitimate interest for processing your personal data. A legitimate interest could exist for example, when you sign up as member to our website and we use the personal data collected to conduct data analytics to improve our services. This ground will only be used where it is necessary to achieve a legitimate interest, for example to assist in the performance of a contract, or to optimise a service, and does not outweigh your rights as an individual. This legal basis will only be relied upon where there is no less intrusive way to process your personal data. We can assure you that if legitimate interest is used as a ground for processing your personal data, we will keep a record of this and you have the right to ask for this information.

Profiling

The Company uses your personal data to build profiles. We create profiles by analysing the information about your online surfing, searching and buying behaviour and your interactions with our company by building segments (creating groups that have certain common characteristics) and by placing your personal data in one or more segments. These segments are used by the Company to personalise the website and our communications to you (such as showing relevant content to you when you visit our site or in a newsletter to you), and to display relevant offers and advertisements of the Company on our site, and via third-party websites. The segments can also be used for third-party campaigns on the Company’s site.

The Company profiles your data, where you have provided consent for us to do so. For example when you accept the setting of cookies on your browser online or when you sign up for email newsletters.

You can withdraw your consent to prevent your personal data being used this way at any time by changing your browser settings, see section of our Cookie Notice or unsubscribing to the use of your email address if you have logged into our website or signed up to any marketing newsletters.

By way of example –

  • the Company collects data, with your consent, from:
    o Our website about what you view and the way you interact with our content;
    o Our digital display advertising that we serve to you on social platforms and other publisher’s websites; and
    o Forms you fill in online and send to us about what your interests are.
  • We also track the selected services when you click on one of our display adverts and go on to participate.
  • If you have asked to receive email communications from us, we track whether you open, read or click on the content to see what you are interested in so that we can give you more content that we think you are more likely to enjoy.
  • We use this data to profile your likes and dislikes. For instance, we may tailor our web content when you visit towards services we think you’ll be most interested in.
  • Based on this profile information, we may also give you advertising that we think you will like and want to see as you view content from us or from our network of publishers that we advertise with. Sometimes, with your consent, we may use your current location to serve advertising to you that is to do with promotions or events that are happening nearby that we think you might be interested in.
  • We may also use information you have provided to selected third-parties and consented to be shared, like your age, gender, lifestyle and wider interests to identify people who we think will have similar interests to you and who we believe will be interested in similar advertising.

In some instances, the Company may processes your personal data using automated means. An automated decision is a decision which is made solely by automatic means, where no humans are involved in the decision-making process related to your personal data.

We will not make decisions based solely on automated decision making that have significant impact on you. If we do so we notify you and provide you with clear information about our decision to rely on automated processing to make our decision and our lawful basis for doing so. For example, the Company processes your personal data using automated means only if it is necessary for the entering into or the performance of a contract with you, or when you have given your explicit consent.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing and which produces legal or other significant effects on you. In particular, you have the right:

  • to obtain human intervention;
  • to express your point of view;
  • to obtain an explanation of the decision reached after an assessment; and
  • to challenge such a decision.

The Company does not share your personal data, except with selected third-parties and for certain reasons. For example, we share your personal data with third-party service providers, other third-parties, in the following circumstances:

  • Third-party service providers. In order to carry out your requests, respond to your inquiries, fulfil your orders, honour coupons, provide you with samples, enable you to participate in sweepstakes or make various other features, services and materials available to you through our website. We share your personal data with third-party service providers that perform functions on our behalf, such as companies that: host or operate the Company’s website, process payments, analyse data, provide customer service, postal or delivery services, and sponsors or other third-parties that participate in or administer our promotions. They have access to personal data needed to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process this personal data in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by applicable data protection laws and regulations.
  • Other third-parties. Your personal data will also be used by us or shared with our sponsors, advertisers, advertising networks, advertising servers, social media networks, and analytics companies or other third-parties in connection with marketing, promotional, data enrichment and other offers, as well as service information.

The Company does not share personal data to foreign countries within or out the European Economic Area (EEA).

We take every effort to protect your personal data from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Our measures include implementing appropriate access controls, investing in the latest information security capabilities to protect the IT environments we leverage, and ensuring we encrypt personal data wherever possible.

Access to your personal data is only permitted among our employees and agents on a need-to-know basis and subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations when processed by third-parties.

We will keep your personal data for as long as we need it for the purpose it is being processed for.

For example, where you apply online for our services we will keep the data related to your application to our programms, so we can perform the specific contract you have entered and after that, we will keep the personal data for a period which enables us to handle or respond to any complaints, queries or concerns relating to your application.

Your data may also be retained so that we can continue to improve your experience with us and to ensure that you receive any loyalty rewards which are due to you.

We retain the identifiable data we collect directly for targeting purposes for as little time as possible, after which we employ measures to permanently delete it.
