We hope we’ve explained it clearly and simply, but it you want to find out in more detail about the new data protection regulation, go to the Information Commissioners office (ICO) (UK's independent body set up to uphold information rights) website https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr.

We’ve written this Privacy Policy to tell you how and why we use your personal information. We hope you’ll find it clear and simple but if you have any concerns or questions please feel free to contact our Data Protection Officer in charge of privacy related matters. If you have any questions about this privacy notice, please contact our Data Protection Officer – Rachel Rogers - on:-

Who’s in control of your information?
You are. Throughout this Privacy Policy, the Business called The Natural Store Ltd is referred to as “we”, “us” or “our” in this privacy notice. We never lose sight of the fact that it is your personal information and we will only send you marketing material if you have agreed that we can do so.
1. DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU
The Natural Store collects personal information about you whenever you shop with us or use our services. Some of this information you give us directly when, for example, you place an order on www.thenaturalstore.co.uk, sign up for a Loyalty Card or any of our other services or marketing communications. Other information is collected indirectly, for example when you post comments on our Facebook page. Please see below for examples of the data we collect from you:
It is important that we hold accurate and up to date information about you. Please email us at info@thenaturalstore.co.uk if, at any time, your personal information changes.
Personal data means any information capable of identifying an individual. It does not include anonymised data.
We may process certain types of personal data about you as follows:
• Identity Data may include your first name, maiden name, last name, username, marital status, and title.
• Contact Data may include your billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers.
• Financial Data may include your bank account and payment card details.

• Usage Data may include information about how you use our website, products and services.
• Marketing and Communications Data may include your preferences in receiving marketing communications from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.
We may also process Aggregated Data from your personal data but this data does not reveal your identity and as such in itself is not personal data. An example of this is where we review your Usage Data to work out the percentage of website users using a specific feature of our site. If we link the Aggregated Data with your personal data so that you can be identified from it, then it is treated as personal data.

We do not collect any Sensitive Data about you. Sensitive Data refers to data that includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data. We do not collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
Where we are required to either collect personal data by law, or under the terms of the contract between us, if you decide that you do not wish to provide us with your personal data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract (for example, to deliver goods or services to you), and we may have to cancel a product or service you have ordered, as we would not be able to send it out to you without your name and address for example. You will be notified of any product or service we have had to cancel.

• Other companies in our group who provide IT and system administration services and undertake leadership reporting.
• Service providers who provide IT and system administration services.
• Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.

We require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
5. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
We share your personal data within our company which involves transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer the same levels of protection to your personal data, so European law has prohibited transfers of personal data outside of the EEA unless the transfer meets certain criteria.
Many of our third parties service providers are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we do our best to ensure a similar degree of security of data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
• 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 European Commission; or
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or
• Where we use providers based in the United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.
If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer.
Can I opt out of having my data shared?
As your data is stored safely and securely both inside and outside of the EEA, we cannot offer alternative storage solution. If you wish to opt out of having your data stored outside of the EEA, you’ll need to close your account with The Natural Store. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
6. DATA SECURITY
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 such data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
If we believe a suspected personal data breach to have occurred we will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
Keeping your data secure
The Natural Store.co.uk has been issued with a Secure Server Digital. This confirms that thenaturalstore.co.uk is a legitimate website that provides an encrypted communication channel to protect the information you pass to us when making a purchase. For more information about VeriSign Digital Authentication services and online security guarantees, visit the VeriSign website. In addition to this, all credit/debit card payments are securely handled by an industry-leading payment processor – Worldpay - and are never stored on the The Natural Store website.
7. DATA RETENTION
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
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 requirements.
For legal tax purposes we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for a time period after they cease being customers.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see below for further information.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).

9. THIRD-PARTY LINKS
This website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you.

10. COOKIES
You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.
A 'cookie' is a file in your web browser that enables us to recognise your computer when you visit www.thenaturalstore.co.uk and makes using our site quicker and easier (e.g. login fields may be pre-filled with your email address). Cookies are also essential to the functioning of certain parts of the site and we use them to collect information about how the site is used, such as how many people visit and return and what products are being viewed.
How we use Cookies
The Natural Store website uses Cookies in the following ways:
Making our website work:
These Cookies are essential so that you can move around the site and log in to the secure areas. Without them you’d be unable to shop on the website or access your account.
Monitoring and improving the performance of the website:
These Cookies collect information about how visitors use The Natural Store site, e.g. which pages they visit most often and whether they see error messages. The information is aggregated so it doesn’t identify individuals, and we use it only to help us improve the way the website works.
Enabling the features of the website:
These Cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made, such as your user name or the region you’re in, and help us provide you with a better, more personal experience.
Personalising your experience:
These cookies enable us to give you a more personal experience when you visit our site, by recognising you and remembering preferences or choices you’ve may have made on previous visits to the site.
Restricting or blocking Cookies
As you will have seen in ‘How We Use Cookies’ above, some parts of our site need Cookies in order to function correctly. By default, Cookies should be enabled on your computer or device, and although you can ‘disable’ them in your browser this will affect your experience on thenaturalstore.co.uk. You’ll be limited to browsing, viewing and searching for products but won’t be able to make a purchase, and you may experience technical problems with some other features on the site. You’ll need to re-enter your basic details every time you visit the site and we won’t be able to make the site more personal to you – you’ll see generic content that may not be as interesting or relevant to you. If you'd still prefer to restrict, block or delete Cookies from thenaturalstore.co.uk or any other website, it’s easy to do in your internet browser. Each browser is different, so you’ll need to go to the 'help' menu on your browser and look for how to change your ‘cookie preferences’.
Your privacy and shared computers
If you log in to thenaturalstore.co.uk from a shared computer, such as in an internet cafe or from a colleague’s computer at work, Cookies may cause your e-mail address to display in the login field to anyone who uses the site on that computer after you. You can avoid this by clearing the Cookies stored by the web browser. The option to do this is normally in the ‘Tools’ dropdown menu at the top of the browser window.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy was updated in May 2018. We may update it from time to time so we recommend that you check back here occasionally.
