GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)

Bombay Hair UK Ltd is a registered data processor under the Data Protection Act.  We are also bound by General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

There are only three circumstances where we may share some of your data with others:

  1. With agents (including credit reference agencies, credit card clearing agencies, fraud prevention and detection agencies and delivery companies) that we use to process the orders you place with us or who assist us in the service we provide to you. In these instances, we provide them with only the information they need to perform their function.
  2. In the unlikely event that our business assets are ever sold to or purchased by another company. Our data records are part of our business.
  3. To outside research companies whom we may ask to contact you directly for your opinions on our products and services (in which case we provide them with only the information they need to perform their function), we also only provide them with your information when you have given us permission to do so.

Right of Access

You have the right to access your personal data and supplementary information. The right of access allows you to be aware of and verify the lawfulness of the processing. You can make a request verbally or in writing. Details of how to make a request are at the bottom of the page.

Right to Rectification

The GDPR includes a right for you to have inaccurate personal data rectified, or completed if it is incomplete. You can make a request verbally or in writing. Details of how to make a request are at the bottom of the page.

Right to Erasure

You have a right to have your personal data erased. The right to erasure is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’. The right is not absolute and only applies if:

  • The personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose which you originally collected or processed it for;
  • Bombay Hair UK Ltd is relying on consent as its lawful basis for holding the data, and you withdraw your consent;
  • Bombay Hair UK  Ltd  is relying on legitimate interests as its basis for processing, you object to the processing of your data, and there is no overriding legitimate interest to continue this processing;
  • Bombay Hair UK Ltd is processing the personal data for direct marketing purposes and you object to that processing.

The right to erasure does not apply if processing is necessary for one of the following reasons:

  • To exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;
  • To comply with a legal obligation;
  • For the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority;
  • For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific research historical research or statistical purposes where erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of that processing; or
  • For the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The GDPR also specifies two circumstances where the right to erasure will not apply to special category data:

  • If the processing is necessary for public health purposes in the public interest (eg protecting against serious cross-border threats to health, or ensuring high standards of quality and safety of health care and of medicinal products or medical devices); or
  • If the processing is necessary for the purposes of preventative or occupational medicine (eg where the processing is necessary for the working capacity of an employee; for medical diagnosis; for the provision of health or social care; or for the management of health or social care systems or services). This only applies where the data is being processed by or under the responsibility of a professional subject to a legal obligation of professional secrecy (eg a health professional).

You can make a request verbally or in writing. Details of how to make a request are at the bottom of the page.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This means that you can limit the way that Bombay Hair UK Ltd uses your data. This is an alternative to requesting the erasure of your data.

You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data where you have a particular reason for wanting the restriction. This may be because you have issues with the content of the information Bombay Hair UK Ltd holds or how Bombay Hair UK Ltd have processed your data. In most cases we will only need to have the restriction in place for a certain period of time.

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • You contest the accuracy of your personal data and Bombay Hair UK Ltd is verifying the accuracy of the data;
  • The data has been unlawfully processed (ie in breach of the lawfulness requirement of the first principle of the GDPR) and you oppose erasure and you request restriction instead;
  • Bombay Hair UK  Ltd no longer need the personal data but you need to keep it in order to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim; or
  • You have objected to Bombay Hair UK Ltd processing your data under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and Bombay Hair UK Ltd is considering whether our legitimate grounds override those of the yours.

Although this is distinct from the right to rectification and the right to object, there are close links between those rights and the right to restrict processing:

  • if you have challenged the accuracy of Bombay Hair UK  Ltd’s data and asked Bombay Hair UK  Ltd to rectify it (Article 16), you also have a right to request Bombay Hair UK Ltd restrict processing while Bombay Hair UK  Ltd considers your rectification request; or
  • if you exercises your right to object under Article 21(1), you also have a right to request Bombay Hair UK  Ltd restrict processing while Bombay Hair UK  Ltd considers your objection request.

You can make a request verbally or in writing. Details of how to make a request are at the bottom of the page.

Right to Data Portability

The right to data portability allows you to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. It allows you to move, copy or transfer personal data easily from one IT environment to another in a safe and secure way, without hindrance to usability.

You can make a request verbally or in writing. Details of how to make a request are at the bottom of the page.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or the performance of a task in the public interest/exercise of official authority (including profiling); direct marketing (including profiling); and processing for purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics.

Bombay Hair UK  Ltd will stop processing personal data for direct marketing purposes as soon as we receive an objection. There are no exemptions or grounds to refuse. Bombay Hair UK  Ltd must deal with an objection to processing for direct marketing at any time and free of charge.

You can make a request verbally or in writing. Details of how to make a request are at the bottom of the page.

Rights related to automated decision making including profiling

Automated individual decision-making is a decision made by automated means without any human involvement.

Examples of this include:

  • An online decision to award a loan; and
  • A recruitment aptitude test which uses pre-programmed algorithms and criteria.
  • The GDPR has provisions on:
    • automated individual decision-making (making a decision solely by automated means without any human involvement); and
    • profiling (automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain things about an individual). Profiling can be part of an automated decision-making process.
  • The GDPR applies to all automated individual decision-making and profiling.
  • Article 22 of the GDPR has additional rules to protect individuals if you are carrying out solely automated decision-making that has legal or similarly significant effects on them.
  • You can only carry out this type of decision-making where the decision is:
    • necessary for the entry into or performance of a contract; or
    • authorised by Union or Member state law applicable to the controller; or
    • based on the individual’s explicit consent.
  • You must identify whether any of your processing falls under Article 22 and, if so, make sure that you:
    • give individuals information about the processing;
    • introduce simple ways for them to request human intervention or challenge a decision;
    • carry out regular checks to make sure that your systems are working as intended.

You can make a request verbally or in writing. Details of how to make a request are at the bottom of the page.

How Shopify use your date:

Payment:

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

SECTION 4 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
