We get it, privacy stuff is a pain in the brolly. It's not something you should have to worry about, as such we're really trying to make it all clear and easy for you

The services we use are very secure, and as such your personal data is too. However, you're probably here because you've heard about "cookies" and advertising practices elsewhere on the interweebs. Like the vast majority of online businesses we use cookies, and other tracking methods to advertise to visitors of this site, you included. We don't sell this data, or use it for nefarious purposes.

We do however use it to advertise to you in places like Facebook, Instagram, Google, and YouTube; if you're not happy with that, click on the cookies link below and follow the instructions to disable cookies. We apologise if these ads have annoyed you :(

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your browsing device, e.g. a computer or smartphone, when you visit a website. Cookies can be recognised by the website that downloaded them, or other websites that use the same cookies. This helps websites know if the browsing device has visited them before.

Cookies do lots of functions, like helping us understand how the website is being used, letting users navigate between pages effectively, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your browsing experience. Cookies can also help ensure marketing you see online is more relevant to you and your interests.

In this policy, we also use the term cookie to refer to similar technologies such as web beacons. A web beacon (also known as a pixel tag or clear gif) is a small string of code that presents a clear graphic image and is used in conjunction with a cookie. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages or in emails. A web beacon allows us to capture certain additional types of information about a visitor's actions on a web site, such as a visitor's cookie number, the time, date, duration and number of page views, a description of the page where the beacon is placed and details about any items that were purchased. Web beacons help us analyse our customers' online behaviour and measure the effectiveness of our website and our advertising. We work with service providers that help us track, collect and analyse this information.

The types of cookies used by most websites can generally be put into five categories: strictly necessary, performance, functionality, tailored content and targeting. You can see what cookies we use here.

These cookies allow our website to remember the choices you make, e.g. your user name, language or region. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, e.g. commenting on a post.

These cookies help our website provide enhance features and display content in a way that is relevant to you. They help determinate what information is shown on our website based on how you have used our website and our services previously. These cookies also track your browsing activity on other websites.

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you seen an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organisations such as advertisers. This means that after you have been to our website, you may see some advertisements about our products elsewhere on the internet.

If you are based in the European Union (EU) and access and use our websites, purchase products from us, or have other dealings with us, these additional terms (GDPR Terms) form part of our privacy policy.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulates the collection, processing and transfer of EU individuals’ personal data (as defined in the GDPR). The personal information described in our privacy policy is personal data under the GDPR. We are committed to complying with the GDPR when dealing with personal data of our website visitors based in the EU.

For the purposes of the GDPR, we are the data controller (as defined in the GDPR) when processing personal data collected by us through our websites, when you purchase products from us or when you have other dealings with us.

These GDPR Terms was drafted with brevity and clarity in mind. It does not provide exhaustive detail of all aspects of our collection and use of personal data. However, we are happy to provide any additional information or explanation needed. Any requests for further information should be sent to privacy@bluntumbrellas.com

The personal data we may process consists of the personal information described in our privacy policy. This personal data may be processed for the purposes outlined in our privacy policy.

The legal basis for our processing of personal data depends on the type of personal data and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we normally process personal data only where (a) we have your consent to do so, (b) we need to process personal data to perform a contract with you (e.g. to provide our products to you), or (c) the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests (except where such interests would be overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms which require the protection of personal data).

Despite the above, we may process any of your personal data where such processing is necessary for compliance with applicable laws.

You do not have to provide us with some personal data that is automatically collected when you use our websites e.g. cookies. However, you will be required to provide us with your name, email address, phone number or postal address when you purchase products from us. The consequence of not providing this personal data is that we will not be able to fulfil your orders for products. You will be required to provide us with your name and email address if you want to set up an account on our websites or receive our newsletter.

Your rights in relation to your personal data under the GDPR include:

• right of access - if you ask us, we will confirm whether we are processing your personal data and provide you with a copy of that personal data
• right to rectification - if the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it rectified or completed. We will take every reasonable step to ensure personal data which is inaccurate is rectified. If we have shared your personal data with any third parties, we will tell them about the rectification where possible
• right to erasure - we delete your personal data when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which you provided it. You may request that we delete your personal data and we will do so if deletion does not contravene any applicable laws. If we have shared your personal data with any third parties, we will take reasonable steps to inform those third parties to delete such personal data
• right to withdraw consent - if the basis of our processing of your personal data is consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time
• right to restrict processing - you may request that we stop processing your personal data at any time and we will do so to the extent required by the GDPR
• right to object to processing - you may obtain your personal data from us that you have consented to give us or that is necessary to perform a contract with you. We will provide this personal data in a commonly used, machine-readable and interoperable format to enable data portability to another data controller. Where technically feasible, and at your request, we will transmit your personal data directly to another data controller
• right to data portability - you may obtain your personal data from us that you have consented to give us or that is necessary to perform a contract with you. We will provide this personal data in a commonly used, machine-readable and interoperable format to enable data portability to another data controller. Where technically feasible, and at your request, we will transmit your personal data directly to another data controller
• rights related to autonomous decision making, including profiling - you have a right to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing including processing, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, except where such automated decision making is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract with you, is authorised by applicable laws or is based on your explicit consent
• the right to complain to a supervisory authority - you can report any concerns you have about our privacy practices to the relevant data protection supervisory authority

Where personal data is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object to such processing, including profiling related to direct marketing.

If you would like to exercise any of your above rights, please contact us at privacy@bluntumbrellas.com If you are not satisfied by the way we deal with your query, you may refer your query to your local data protection supervisory authority e.g. in the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office.

We do not intend to collect personal data from children aged under 16. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 16 has provided personal data to us through our websites and through other dealings with us, please contact our data protection officer.

The personal data we collect through our websites or when you purchase products from us or have other dealings with us may be transferred to, and stored in, a country operating outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Under the GDPR, the transfer of personal data to a country outside the EEA may take place where the European Commission has decided that the country ensures an adequate level of protection.

In the absence of an adequacy decision, we may transfer personal data provided appropriate safeguards are in place.

Some of the personal data we collect is processed in New Zealand (where our operations are located). New Zealand is recognised by the European Commission as a country that ensures an adequate level of data protection and we rely on this decision in transferring personal data from the EEA to New Zealand.

Transfers to our global distributors

As noted in our privacy policy, if you access and use our websites, purchase products from us or have other dealings with us, we may transfer personal data outside the EEA to our third party global distributors. Such transfers may be subject to an adequacy decision under Article 45, depending on the location of the distributor. If the distributor is not located in a country subject to an adequacy decision, transfers of personal data will be subject to adequate safeguards under Article 46 of the GDPR, namely, we have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as published by the European Commission with our distributors. The Standard Contractual Clauses provide specific guarantees around transfers of personal data and we rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses in transferring personal data to our distributors located in countries without an adequacy decision.

Transfers to other third party processors

The personal data we collect is also processed by the third party processors set out below.

For personal data processed in the United Sates, the European Commission has determined that the United States ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU to organisations in the United States under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. We have verified that our United States-based data processors have self-certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield framework.

For data held outside the EEA or the United States, we have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as published by the European Commission with our third party processors.

List of third party processors as at 24 May 2018:

Personal data that we collect and process will not be kept longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is collected, or for the duration required for compliance with applicable law, whichever is longer.

You can contact us as set out in our privacy policy.
