  • To register you with an account on our website;

  • Where you allow us to do so, we will inform you by email and /or postal mail about products and services that we consider may be of interest to;
  • To administer any prize draws or competitions you may enter.

     

    LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

     

    Where we have collected your date in relation to an account sign up, the information we process will be based on legitimate interest we have in administering that account to enable you to safely access your order history and the personal details you have provided us with.

     

    Where data has been collected in relation to an order, it will be processed by necessity of entering into a contract whereby the payment you provide requires us to fulfil your order request.

     

    Where data has been collected in relation to marketing, we rely on your consent.

    If you have indicated that you would like to be contacted for direct marketing purposes we rely solely on your consent. At the time of sign up, you can choose which methods of direct marketing you would like to receive, from either email, and /or postal mail.

     

    We will hold this data for seven years following your last interaction with our marketing programme, including opening an email or logging to visit our website. After this point, your information will be removed from our marketing database.

    COOKIES

     

    See our separate cookie policy for detail about cookies and how we use them.

     

    ONLINE SECURITY

     

    
www.joinedandjointed.com is a secure website. Every time you enter an area of the site that carries or requires sensitive information such as your credit card details, an icon resembling a padlock will appear at the bottom of your browser window. This is an indication that the site is secure.

     

    Joined + Jointed uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Private Communications Technology security standards that are supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later and other popular browsers. We accept orders only from web browsers that permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology - this means you cannot inadvertently place an order through an unsecured connection.

     

    SSL encodes your personal information and all your transactions are protected by SSL encryption technology. SSL encrypts your credit card number, name, address, phone number, identification number and password as it travels through the Internet, so that it cannot be read by anyone other than the secure server.

     

    When you place an order online, Joined + Jointed does not see your card payment details. These are sent to and managed securely by our payment service provider. Joined + Jointed does not keep a record of your card number, expiry date, or security code.

     

    We endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect your personal details. However, we cannot guarantee the security of any data you disclose on-line. You accept the inherent security risks of providing information and dealing on-line and will not hold us responsible for any breach of security unless this is due to our negligence or wilful default.

     

    YOUR PERSONAL DATA RIGHTS

     

  • You have the right to ask us what information we hold about you.

  • You have the right to ask for your data to be deleted or corrected.

  • You have the right to ask us to stop processing your data.

  • You have the right to stop receiving marketing from us.

     

    QUESTIONS

     

    If you have a question about the way we use your data, please contact us by emailing contact@joinedandjointed.com or phoning 020 7371 7766

     

    We will endeavour to answer questions and handle concerns and complaints swiftly. If we cannot resolve the problem for you, you can also contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO): https://ico.org.uk/
