The data we collect about you
Personal data means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. Details of data that we typically collect are set out in the appendix to this policy.  

How we use your data
We only process your personal data where we have a legal basis to do so. In almost all cases the legal basis will be so we can perform our contract with you to provide products and services or manage our supply chain.

A description of the ways we plan to use your personal data and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so are set out in the appendix to this policy.

How long we keep it
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation with respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data (and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means) and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements. Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are set out in the appendix to this policy.

How safe is your personal data?
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place an IT Security and Data Incident Response Plan to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

Who will be using it?
We never sell your personal data to any third parties for any reason.

We may share your data with selected third-party service providers, agencies and subcontractors who do work on our behalf.  Where this is necessary, we will only pass over the information necessary to carry out the specific service and the third parties are under contract to keep your information safe and secure and not to disclose it to anyone or use it for their own marketing purposes.

If you make a purchase from us by bank card, your payment will be processed by a third-party payment processor who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. If you have any questions regarding the processing of payment transactions, please contact us.

You will find some links in the Brett Group websites to third party websites. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy policies or content on such third party websites.

Do we transfer your data outside the UK?
We may transfer your personal data outside the UK. If we do, you can expect a similar degree of protection in respect of your personal data and we will ensure that any relevant countries have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.

How can you update your details?
We want to make sure that our information is as accurate as possible. If the data we hold about you is incorrect or out-of-date, and you’d like us to make any changes, you can contact us as set out below.

How do you make a complaint?
If you have any queries or complaints about our collection, use or storage of your personal data, please contact us as set out below. We will investigate and attempt to resolve any such complaint or dispute regarding the use or disclosure of your personal data. 

You also have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing of your personal data with the Information Commissioner's Office, the supervisory authority for data protection issues in England and Wales.

What are your rights in connection with your personal data?
Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to request access to, verify, correct or request deletion of your personal data or object to the processing of your personal data. If you wish to make such a request, please contact us as set out below and we will process such request in accordance with our Data Request Policy.
