This is the privacy and cookies policy for www.expocart.com (The Site). The Site is operated by ExpoCart UK Ltd of Unit 2, Chandos Business Centre, 87 Warwick Street, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, CV32 4RJ (we, us and our).
For the purposes of the GDPR General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), we are the data controller. We are committed to protecting your privacy online. We appreciate that you do not want the personal information you provide to us distributed indiscriminately and here we explain with transparency how we collect information, what we do with it and what controls and rights you have.
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy from time to time by changing it on the Site. You should check it regularly. This privacy policy was last updated on 21 May 2018.
We may collect and process your personal data for the following reasons under the GDPR:
Contractual Obligation - Art. 6.1.(b)
In certain cases, e.g. if you placed an order with us, we may need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations.
Legitimate Interests - Art. 6.1.(f)
In some situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and offer you a better service, which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.
Consent - Art. 6.1.(a)
In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent (e.g. if you subscribe to our emails by ticking a box).
Legal Obligation - Art. 6.1.(c)
If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data, e.g. if you’re involved in any criminal activity affecting ExpoCart.
ExpoCart is a B2B company, so we are most of the time collecting and processing only company related data that are not used to identify you personally. However, in some situations, we may collect the following personal data:
You are under no obligation to provide any such information. However, if you should choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with certain services.
At ExpoCart we want to give you the best possible service and customer experience. That’s why we may use personal data in some cases to offer you products and services that are most likely to interest you. We rely on our legitimate interests as the legal basis for doing so. If you wish to change how we use your data, please contacts us using the details at the end of this privacy policy. You can also exercise certain rights, details of which are in the ‘legal rights’ section below.
We may, from time to time, run referral programmes or similar initiatives, such as a "Tell a Friend" programme, that invite you to provide us with the contact details of someone who is known to you who may find our products or services to be of interest. We will only use those contact details for the purpose of the relevant initiative (and not for general marketing purposes). By providing us with their details, you confirm that you have their permission to do so and must not provide us with the details of anyone from whom you do not have such permission. We reserve the right to identify you as the person who has made the referral in the message that is sent to them.
Of course, you can tell us at any time not to contact you with information regarding our products and services, by following the unsubscribe instructions on any communications sent to you. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us using the contact us details at the end of this privacy policy or by changing your preferences in your ExpoCart account.
We place great importance on the security of all personally identifiable information associated with our users. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of personal information under our control. For example, our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorised personnel have access to personal information. Whilst we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of information will never occur, we use all reasonable efforts to prevent it.
You should bear in mind that submission of information over the internet is never entirely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of information you submit via the Site whilst it is in transit over the internet and any such submission is at your own risk.
It is advisable to close your browser when you have finished your user session to help ensure others do not access your personal information if you use a shared computer or a computer in a public place.
Payment Processing
Payment details you provide will be encrypted using secure sockets layer (SSL) technology before they are submitted to us over the internet. Payments made on the Site are made through our payment gateway provider, Stripe. You will be providing credit or debit card information directly to Stripe which operates a secure server to process payment details, encrypting your credit/debit card information and authorising payment. Information which you supply to Stripe is not within our control and is subject to Stripe's own privacy policy and terms and conditions.
When we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and taking our legal and regulatory obligations into account. At the end of this period, we’ll delete or anonymise your personal data.
We may appoint sub-contractors data processors as required to help us to deliver services to you. Where we do so, they will process personal information confidentially on our behalf and at our direction. We conduct an appropriate level of due diligence and put in place necessary contractual documentation in relation to any sub-contractor to ensure that they process personal information appropriately and according to our legal and regulatory obligations.
You have the following rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you. Please note that these rights are subject to certain exemptions which may be applicable to any request you make.
Your right of access:
If you ask us, we’ll confirm whether we’re processing your personal information and, subject to any applicable exemptions, provide you with a copy of that personal information (along with certain other details) within the timescales or extended timescales provided for by the GDPR for complex requests, or where applicable, provide you with an explanation as to why we will not be complying with your request. If you require additional copies, we may need to charge a reasonable fee.
Your right to rectification:
If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you’re entitled to have it rectified. If you are entitled to rectification and if we’ve shared your personal information with others, we’ll let them know about the rectification where possible and where this would not involve disproportionate effort. If you ask us, where possible and lawful to do so, we’ll also tell you who we’ve shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
Your right to erasure:
You can ask us to delete or remove your personal information in some circumstances such as where we no longer need it or if you withdraw your consent (where applicable because that was the legal basis on which we were processing your personal information). If you are entitled to erasure and if we’ve shared your personal information with others, we’ll take reasonable steps to inform those others where possible and where this would not involve disproportionate effort. If you ask us, where it is possible and lawful for us to do so, we’ll also tell you who we’ve shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
Your right to restrict processing:
You can ask us to ‘block’ or suppress the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances such as where you contest the accuracy of that personal information or you object to us. If you are entitled to restriction and if we’ve shared your personal information with others, we’ll let them know about the restriction where it is possible for us to do so. If you ask us, where it is possible and lawful for us to do so, we’ll also tell you who we’ve shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
Your right to data portability:
With effect from 25 May 2018, you have the right, in certain circumstances, to obtain personal information you’ve provided us with (in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format) and to reuse it elsewhere or to ask us to transfer this to a third party of your choice.
Your right to object:
You can ask us to stop processing your personal information, and we will do so, if we are:
Your rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling:
You have the right not to be subject to a decision when it’s based on automatic processing, including profiling, if it produces a legal effect or similarly significantly affects you, unless such profiling is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us.
Your right to withdraw consent:
If we rely on your consent (or explicit consent) as our legal basis for processing your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or in regards with your personal data, please email us at privacy@expocart.com.
If you think your data has not been handled correctly, or you are unhappy with our response to any requests you have made to us regarding the use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office by calling 0303 123 1113 or online at www.ico.org.uk/concerns.
