Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to IPOTTORI at ipottori.com (“the Website”).  The owner of the Website (referred to as “we”, “us” or “our”) is the controller and responsible for your personal data.  

We respect and value the privacy of all our visitors and customers.  Your personal information is important to us.  This privacy policy sets out how we look after your personal data when your visit and use the Website and what your privacy rights are.

What personal information do we contact?

If you contact us with an enquiry, we collect from you essential contact details (your name, email address and/or phone number, if provided, and your country) in order to handle your enquiry.  Your personal details will not be used for any other purposes. 

When our e-commerce service is available and you wish to order any of our goods online, we will ask you to provide the relevant information that we need for this purpose (your name, email address, phone number, delivery address, and your credit or debit card number and bank details).  Applicable only for countries where you can order goods direct from us via the Website.

All payment transactions are run through the payment platforms for which purposes they are the data processor.  We do not store any card details but can access transaction records to confirm payments.  

How do we process your personal information?

If you contact us with an enquiry, we will process the personal information that you provide, or we collect from you, including your name, email address and/or phone number, if provided, and your country, on the basis that it is necessary for our legitimate interests in order to address or respond to your enquiry provided this does not prejudice or harm your rights and freedoms.

If you sign up to our newsletter, we will use your contact details to provide you with news, events, and details of offers and other opportunities, including by post or by email, and on the basis that it is necessary for the legitimate interests we have in promoting IPOTTORI and ipottori.com and the sale of its goods (as described above).  We will only contact you in this way if you have opted-in to receive these types of communication.  Please contact us at [email protected] should you later on opt not to receive further communication from us.

If you order goods from us, we will process your personal information on the basis that it is necessary to do so for the performance of the contract that we enter into with you and to fulfil our legal obligations.  Applicable only for countries where you can order goods direct from us via the Website.  If you sign up to an account with us, we will process your personal information on the basis that it is necessary to do so for the performance of the contract that we enter into with you and/or to fulfil our legal obligations and/or that it is necessary for our legitimate interests (to keep our records up to date and manage your account with us). 

Links to other websites

The Website may contain links to third-party websites such as vimeo.com over which we have no control.  Once you have used these links to leave our site, you acknowledge that we do not have any control over that other website.  Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites.  You further acknowledge that third-party websites are not governed by this privacy policy.  Please exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

Who do we share your information with?

We may disclose your personal data if we need to do so in order to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation or request, or where we have a legitimate interest in doing so, such as in order to enforce or apply our contract, to investigate potential breaches, or to protect the rights, property or safety of the staff and owner of IPOTTORI or others.  This may include exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We may share your personal data with our third-party service providers who provide services for us or on our behalf (e.g. IT and system administration services, order fulfilment, provision of payment services).  We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.  No permission is given to our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes.  Permission is provided to them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Except as set out above, we will never sell, distribute or disclose any of your personal information (except anonymous aggregate information) with any third party without your express consent.  To provide some of our services, we may use the input of third party providers situated in non-European countries that do not always have the same provisions of Data Protection laws as the UK.  However, we will ensure that contractual or other safeguards are in place to ensure that your information is adequately protected, and that enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are available for data subjects.

How long do we keep personal information for?

We retain contract information (including personal data) for six years after the end of the relevant contract, in the event that issues arise after the end of the contract.  This applies only for countries where you can order goods direct from us via the Website.

Your personal data will usually be deleted after twelve months should you contact us with an enquiry and such enquiry does not create any contractual obligation with us.

In certain circumstances, it may not be possible to delete certain data where it is stored on a secure external server, in which case we will take appropriate steps to ensure that it is not available for re-use.
