  1. Who we share your personal information with?

We will share your personal data with other companies in order for them to fulfil services for us.

We share your personal data with the below companies:

  1. our delivery providers;
  2. our online payment providers;
  3. our customer issue tracking tool provider, this includes our call recordings;

We also impose contractual obligations on service providers to ensure they only use your personal information to provide the requested service. They are not able to use your personal data for their own purposes unless you have a separate agreement with them directly to provide a service in their own right.

  1. Sharing your personal data with Facebook

We place adverts on Facebook and Instagram. To make sure our adverts are seen by people who are most likely to be interested in them, we share your ‘hashed’ email address with Facebook. Emails are hashed so that they are secure. Facebook uses hashed email addresses to match our customers with Facebook accounts so that we can serve our adverts to you via Facebook and Instagram.

Facebook also uses hashed email addresses to analyse our customers so that we can target adverts to individuals who share similar interests or characteristics. Facebook does not share any personal data with us.

If you do not want your information to be used in this way you can opt out at any time by emailing Info@Jalindesign.com.

  1. How long will your personal data be kept?

We will only keep your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. In order to determine the appropriate retention period for your personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of your personal data. We will also consider legal and regulatory requirements, for example where the law says we must keep your personal data for a certain period.

  1. Transferring your personal data out of the UK

To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information outside the UK.

Whenever we transfer your personal data outside of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  1. We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK;
  2. Where we use third parties outside of the UK, we may use specific contracts approved under UK law, these are sometimes known as standard contractual clauses which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

If you would like more information about the methods used to transfer your personal data outside of the UK, please contact us at Info@Jalindesign.com.

  1. Keeping your personal data secure

We have appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed unlawfully. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those processing your personal data will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

    2. where you have challenged our use of your personal data and there are no good reasons for us to process your personal data.
