How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for various purposes, including to provide and maintain our service, to notify you about changes to our service, and to allow you to participate in interactive features of our service when you choose to do so.

Your information helps us to provide customer support, to gather analysis or valuable information so that we can improve our service, and to monitor the usage of our service. This ensures we offer the best DIY renovation resources.

We also use your data to detect, prevent, and address technical issues, to provide you with news, special offers, and general information about other goods, services, and events which we offer that are similar to those that you have already purchased or enquired about unless you have opted not to receive such information.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal data described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it. We process your data based on your consent, contractual necessity, legal obligations, or legitimate interests.

We may process your Personal Data because: we need to perform a contract with you, you have given us permission to do so, the processing is in our legitimate interests and it's not overridden by your rights, or for payment processing purposes.

We may also process your Personal Data to comply with the law. We ensure that any processing activity is justified by a valid legal ground, providing transparency and protection for your data.

Retention of Data

We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws).

We will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods.

Once the retention period expires, personal data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification, and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.

Transfer of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside the United Kingdom and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to the United Kingdom and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organisation or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.

Disclosure of Data

We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: comply with a legal obligation, protect and defend the rights or property of our company, or prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the service.

We may also disclose your Personal Data to protect the personal safety of users of the service or the public, or to protect against legal liability. This is done with utmost care and only when absolutely necessary.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. These measures include encryption and secure server hosting.

Access to your personal data is restricted to employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information in order to process it for us, and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations.

Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, you have certain data protection rights. We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data.

You have the right to access, update, or delete the information we have on you. Whenever made possible, you can access, update, or request deletion of your Personal Data directly within your account settings section. If you are unable to perform these actions yourself, please contact us to assist you.

You also have the right to object to our processing of your Personal Data, the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information, and the right to data portability. You also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where we relied on your consent to process your personal information.
