  • Personalise your purchasing experience, for example we may provide you with details of products that match a product which you may have purchased or enquired about previously;
  • For statistical analysis and to get feedback from you about our products, Website, and other activities. For example, occasionally we may invite you to review a product you’ve bought from us. If we do, it’s possible that we’ll use independent research and feedback providers to act on our behalf;

  • Contact you about products from us;

We may share your personal data with other organisations in the following circumstances:

  • If we are required by law to share your personal data;
  • If we need to share personal data in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (this includes providing personal data to others for the purposes of preventing fraud and reducing credit risk); or
  • From time to time, employ the services of other parties for dealing with certain processes necessary for the operation of the Website. However, all the information we share will be collected and anonymised, so neither you nor any of your devices can be identified from it.

5. Marketing and exercising your right to opt-out of marketing

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing. We will not use your personal data to send you marketing materials if you have requested not to receive them. If you request that we stop processing your personal data for marketing purposes, we shall stop processing your personal data for those purposes.

6. Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. It is Frugalpac policy to respect your rights and we will act promptly and in accordance with any applicable law, rule or regulation relating to the processing of your personal data.

Details of your rights are set out below:

Right to be informed about how personal data is used

You have the right to be informed about how we will use and share your personal data. This explanation will be provided to you in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible format and will be written in clear and plain language.

Right to access personal data

You have the right to obtain confirmation of whether we are processing your personal data, access to the personal data and information regarding how your personal data is being used by us.

Right to have inaccurate personal data rectified

You have the right to have any inaccurate or incomplete personal data rectified. If we have disclosed the relevant personal data to any third parties, we will take reasonable steps to inform those third parties of the rectification where possible.

Right to have personal data erased in certain circumstances

You have a right to request that certain personal data held by us is erased. This is also known as the right to be forgotten. This is not a blanket right to require all personal data to be deleted. We will consider each request carefully in accordance with the requirements of any law relating to the processing of your personal data.

Right to restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances

You have the right to block the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances .This right arises if you are disputing the accuracy of personal data, if you have raised an objection to processing, if processing of personal data is unlawful and you oppose erasure and request restriction instead or if the personal data is no longer required by us but you require the personal data to be retained to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

Right to data portability

In certain circumstances you can request to receive a copy of your personal data in a commonly used electronic format. This right only applies to personal data that you have provided to us (for example by completing a form or providing information through the Website). Information about you which has been gathered by monitoring your behaviour will also be subject to the right to data portability. The right to data portability only applies if the processing is based on your consent or if the personal data must be processed for the performance of a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means (i.e. electronically).

Right to object to processing of personal data in certain circumstances, including where personal data is used for marketing purposes

You have a right to object to processing being carried out by us if (a) we are processing personal data based on legitimate interests or for the performance of a task in the public interest (including profiling), (b) if we are using personal data for direct marketing purposes or (c) if information is being processed for scientific or historical research or statistical purposes. You will be informed that you have a right to object at the point of data collection and the right to object will be explicitly brought to your attention and be presented clearly and separately from any other information.

Right not to be subject to automated decisions where the decision produces a legal effect or a similarly significant effect

You have a right not to be subject to a decision which is based on automated processing where the decision will produce a legal effect or a similarly significant effect on you.

You may exercise any of your rights at any time using the contact details set out in paragraph 11 below. You may not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure your personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one calendar month. Occasionally it may take us longer than one calendar month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

For more information about your privacy rights

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the United Kingdom’s independent authority set up to up hold and enforce data protection and privacy matters in the UK. The ICO makes a lot of information accessible to consumers on their website.

You can make a complaint to the ICO at any time about the way we use your information. However, we hope that you would consider raising any issue or complaint you have with us first. Your satisfaction is extremely important to us and we will always do our very best to solve any problems you may have.

7. How long we keep your personal data for

We retain a record of your personal data in order to provide you with a high quality and consistent service. We will always retain your personal information in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and never retain your information for longer than is necessary. Unless otherwise required by law, your data will be stored for a period of 5 years after our last contact with you/some other identifiable action or period, at which point it will be permanently deleted and therefore irretrievable.

8. Your personal data and Social Networks

When using our Website, you may be able to share information through social networks like Facebook and Twitter. For example, when you ‘like’, ‘share’ or review our services. When doing this, your personal data may be visible to the providers of those social networks and/or their other users. Please remember it is your responsibility to set appropriate privacy settings on your social network accounts so you are comfortable with how your information is used and shared on them.

9. Security

Data security is of great importance to Frugalpac and to protect your personal data we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure your collected data. We ensure that those who have permanent or regular access to personal data, or that are involved in the processing of personal data, or in the development of tools used to process personal data, are trained and informed of their rights and responsibilities when processing personal data.

We take security measures to protect your information including:

Physical & Managerial Security Procedures
