Privacy Policy

Catkin & Pussywillow is committed to protecting your privacy and takes its responsibilities regarding the security of customer information very seriously. This privacy policy explains what personal data we collect about you, how and why we use it, who we disclose it to, and how we protect your privacy.

1. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DATA
Our Privacy Policy applies to the personal data that Catkin & Pussywillow collects and uses. References in this Privacy Policy to “Catkin & Pussywillow”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean Catkin & Pussywillow Limited (a company registered in England and Wales with a registered office at Winchester Railway Station, Station Hill, Winchester, SO23 8TJ). We control the ways your personal data are collected and the purposes for which your personal data are used by Catkin & Pussywillow and are the “data controller” for the purposes of the UK Data Protection Act 1998, EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), PCI-DSS, and European data protection legislation. We also comply with the principles of the US Electronic Communications Privacy Act (18 USC §2510) and the Canadian Privacy Act and Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) although our data is processed and hosted within the legal jurisdiction of England and Wales.

2. PURPOSE AND LAWFUL BASIS FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA
We have two purposes for processing your personal data: • To sell our products to you and carry out any logistics for delivery or return of goods This purpose allows Catkin & Pussywillow to lawfully process your data for legitimate interests (GDPR 6F) and our legal obligations to your country’s tax and revenue authorities. • To informyou about our products, services, events and offers This purpose allows Catkin & Pussywillow to seek your consent to process your data for communication, education and marketing purposes (GDPR 1). Without your explicit consent, Catkin & Pussywillow will not process your data for this purpose. The purpose and lawful basis for processing your data may change from time to time, where this policy will be updated.

3. CONSENT
Your consent will be an explicit action from 25th May 2018. Because of the need for consent we will not use defaulted opt-in checkboxes or include your personal data for communication and marketing purposes where you have asked only for a transactional email (receipts, proof of delivery etc…). We will keep your given consent on file for a period of up to ten years from the last change before checking if your consent is still valid. This is in line with our average customer cycle. We will not contact you if you have withdrawn consent. At ten years we will write to you by email with a statement of consent and your current choices. We will then send a reminder email after 30 days if no contact has been received. If this is not responded to then we will take that your granting of consent is still valid. We will also include the opportunity to unsubscribe or withdraw consent on all marketing emails.

If you are using our mobile app, we may also send you app notifications for these purposes. Please be aware that these communications are not made for marketing purposes and as such, you will continue to receive them even if you opt-out from receiving marketing communications.

We may also collect information on how you use our website, for example, which pages of our website you visit most, in order to understand what you like. We may use this information to tailor the content and offers that you see on our website and, if you have agreed to receiving marketing communications, to send you relevant messages that we think you like. If you are in the process of making a purchase under your account and you leave our website before your order has been placed, we may contact you in order to help you easily complete your purchase.

If you are happy to receive marketing communications, we will provide you with news from us such as new products, services or events that you may be interested in.

You have a right to be forgotten and have data erased and / or stop being processed where the personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose of collection, you withdraw consent, when you object to the processing or to comply with a legal obligation.

What we will undertake is to anonymise your records, overwriting your personal data with fictional names, addresses and emails. Once this has been done it will be impossible to restore a single customer, and a new customer registration will be required. We have a number of security and governance protections in place that will be excluded from your right to be forgotten:
• Encrypted system backups, held for up to 10 years. It is practically impossible to alter these backup files
