HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The purposes for which we use your Personal Information
As a data controller, we will only use your Personal Information if we have a legal basis for doing so. The table at Annex 1 sets out how we use the Personal Information we collect about you and the legal basis which we rely on to process the Personal Information.
More generally, we process Personal Information:
- to answer your specific inquiry or respond to your complaints. For example, if you contact us with a technical question, we will use your contact information and technical information to resolve the issue;
- to administer and enhance the Site;
- for our general business purposes, such as the administration of your customer account, to invite you to events, to interact with you in the course of our business relationship, deal with your queries or for marketing or sales purposes;

WHO WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION TO
We work with third parties to help manage our business, deliver services and as otherwise required to achieve the purposes set out in Annex 1. We and our service providers (as defined below) disclose and share your Personal Information:
- among Alloy Foil and our Affiliates;
- for credit card payments we employ a third party to process these payments on our behalf. This third party will only have access to the Personal Information which you provide directly to them when you make a credit card payment. They are required under their contract with us to process this Personal Information securely and in accordance with all relevant Data Protection laws. We will not collect or store any credit card details; this third party being the sole data controller of that data. When you pay for any goods, you will be taken to a link to this third party’s website in order to conclude the sale;
- to a third party in connection with a proposed or actual sale, merger, or transfer of all or a portion of a business or division; and
- to other persons (such as law enforcement or regulators) where we are under a legal obligation to disclose your Personal Information, and only as permitted or required by applicable law or regulation. Such disclosure could be made to courts, to respond to lawful requests by public authorities, regulators and law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom, European Union and around the world or to protect and defend our rights or property.
Any access to such information will be limited to the purpose for which such information was provided to us or our Service Providers, as explained in the “How we use the information we collect” section above.
HOW WE PROTECT AND STORE YOUR INFORMATION
We take the security of the information we collect seriously. We have implemented and we maintain technical and organisational security measures, policies and procedures intended to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorized disclosure or access to such information appropriate to the nature of the data concerned. Some of the steps we take are: placing confidentiality requirements on our staff members and Service Providers; destroying or permanently anonymising Personal Information if it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected.
Personal Information collected via this Site is stored on servers in the UK.
RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, as explained in this Notice. Customer data will be retained for a period of 7 years from the date of last transaction with us, after which it will be deleted, anonymised or pseudonymised if required. In some circumstances we may retain your Personal Information for longer periods of time, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements.
In specific circumstances we may retain your Personal Information for longer periods of time so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your Personal Information or dealings.
Where we have obtained your Personal Information in order to provide you with marketing information for our products and services, your Personal Information will be stored by us only as long as you do not change your mind to receive such materials from Alloy Foil, in order to avoid future contact with you for marketing purposes. We maintain a data retention notice which we apply to records in our care. Where your Personal Information is no longer required we will ensure it is securely deleted.

- To rectify Personal Information: You have the right to obtain rectification of any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Information we hold about you without undue delay.

- To restrict the processing of your Personal Information: You have the right, in some circumstances, to require us to limit the purposes for which we process your Personal Information if the continued processing of the Personal Information in this way is not justified, such as where the accuracy of the Personal Information is contested by you.
- To transfer your Personal Information: You have the right, in certain circumstances, to receive a copy of the Personal Information you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format that supports re-use, or to request the transfer of your Personal Information to another person.

Privacy laws and practice are constantly developing and we aim to meet high standards. Our policies and procedures are, therefore, under continual review.
