We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Business Transfers If we sell our business or our company assets are acquired by a third party personal data held by us about our customers may be one of the transferred assets.

We share your personal data with third parties if we need to (i) to comply with a legal obligation and/or judicial or regulatory proceedings, a court order or other legal process. (ii) to enforce our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy or other applicable contract terms that you are subject to or (iii) to protect us, our customers, or contractors against loss or damage.  This may include (without limit) exchanging information with the police, courts or law enforcement organisations.

Any credit/debit card payments and other payments you make through our Site will be processed by our third party payment providers and the payment data you submit will be securely stored and encrypted by our payment service providers using up to date industry standards.  Please note that we do not directly process or store the debit/credit card data that you submit.

We may arrange that card or payment data you submit in support of an order is stored for the purpose of processing your order.  This data will be stored in accordance with our legal obligations under applicable law and only for so long as legally permitted.

  1. Personal Data Transfer

Your personal data may be transferred to and stored in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected, including the USA and other destinations outside the EEA, to our service providers and for the purposes described above.

Please note that the countries concerned may not provide the same legal standards for protection of your personal data that you have in the United Kingdom or EEA.  Where we transfer your personal data to countries outside the EEA we will take all steps to ensure that your personal data will continue to be protected.  We will implement appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to our service providers in accordance with the applicable law.

  1. Security

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password or log-in which enables you to access certain restricted parts of our Website, you are responsible for doing everything you reasonably can to keep these details secret. You must not share your password or log-in details with anyone else.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the internet or public communications networks can never be completely secure. We will take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect the personal data that you submit to us against unauthorised/unlawful access or loss, destruction or damage, although we cannot 100% guarantee the security of personal data that you provide to us online.

  1. Personal Data Retention

We will keep your personal data only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or for the duration required by any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements, whichever is the longer.  When you subscribe to a service from us or consent to receive marketing communications, we will keep your personal data until you unsubscribe.

To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, applicable legal requirements or operational retention needs, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period we will securely destroy or remove our access to your personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer personal data.

  1. Your Personal Data Protection Rights

Certain data protection laws give you specific rights in relation to your personal data. In particular, if the processing of your personal data is subject to the GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

  • Right of access: If you ask us, we will confirm whether we are processing your personal data and, if so, provide you with a copy of that personal data along with certain other details such as the purpose of the data processing. If you require additional copies, we may need to charge a reasonable fee. Further, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
  • Right to rectification If your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to ask that we correct or complete it. If we shared your personal data with others, we will tell them about the correction where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your personal data so you can contact them directly in relation to rectification.
  • Right to erasure: You may ask us to delete or remove your personal data, such as where our legal basis for the processing is your consent and you withdraw consent. If we shared your data with others, we will tell them about the erasure where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your personal data with so you can contact them directly in relation to erasure.  We may continue processing personal data where this is necessary for a legitimate interest in doing so, as described in this Privacy Policy.
  • Right to restrict processing: You may ask us to restrict or ‘block’ the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the personal data or object to us processing it. We will tell you before we lift any restriction on processing. If we shared your personal data with others, we will tell them about the restriction where possible.  If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your personal data so you can contact them directly in relation to restricting processing.
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to obtain your personal data from us that you consented to give us or that was provided to us as necessary in connection with our contract with you. We will provide you with your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
  • Right to object: You may ask us at any time to stop processing your personal data, and we will do so if we are relying on a legitimate interest to process your personal data, unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing; or if we are processing your personal data for direct marketing.
  • Right to withdraw consent: If we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing of your data before we received notice that you withdraw your consent.
  • Right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority: If you have a concern about our privacy practices, including the way we handled your personal data, you can report it to the Information Commissioner’s Office. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.

If you wish to exercise any of your rights, please email us at mailto:support@vieve.com. We may also need to ask you for further information to verify your identity before we can respond to any request.  We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.  Occasionally it could take us longer than a 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.
