4. How do we use your personal data?
Introduction
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

to allow you to register an account with us
to perform a contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you, for example, when you want to buy something from us.
if it is necessary for our legitimate interests in conducting or managing our business (or the legitimate interests of a third party) and these are not overridden by your own rights and interests
where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
Lawful processing
In order to process personal data, we must have a lawful reason (sometimes called a lawful basis). We always ensure that this is the case, and we set out our lawful bases below – but please note that more than one may apply at any given time: for example, if we inform you of changes to our privacy notice, we may process your personal data on the ground of complying with law and on the ground of legitimate interests.
We will use your personal data only for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we fairly consider that we need it for another reason that is compatible with the original purpose.
Please contact us if you would like more information on this, and on situations in which more than one lawful basis applies.
Legitimate Interests
We process your personal information for our legitimate business purposes, which include the following:
to conduct and manage our business
to identify suspicious purchasing activity (for example, where a card has been used for high-volume and/or high-value purchases or where cardholder and delivery addresses differ) – however, we do not make automated decisions on the basis of such profiling
to prevent and detect fraud and other crime
to ensure our website and systems are secure (for example, by conducting security penetration tests on our website to ensure our security tools are effective)
to personalise your web experience – for example, by tailoring our products and offers to you
understanding our customers’ behaviour, activities, preferences and needs
to allow you to review a product you have purchased
to contact you for market research purposes
to analyse, improve and update our services for the benefit of our customers
to resolve issues with, develop, test and improve our website, (for example, we may record your browser's session ID and allow you to combine this with online feedback you leave us to help us resolve any problems you're having.)
to deal with complaints, queries and disputes
where you have made a purchase from us, to let you know about our products, services, promotions or events that we consider may be of interest to you (see section 'How might you personalise my experience with White Stuff' below). We do this only where you have provided us with a preferred means of contact for this purpose. We carry out this processing on the legal basis that we have a legitimate interest in marketing our products and services, and only to the extent that we are permitted to do so by applicable direct marketing laws. You can opt out of receiving this marketing by unsubscribing from our emails, by returning our magalogues to the address indicated, or by contacting us as set out in Section 1 above.
Whenever we process your personal data for these purposes, we ensure that your interests, rights and freedoms are carefully considered.
Compliance with laws
We may process your personal data in order to comply with applicable laws (for example, if we are required to co-operate with an investigation pursuant to a court order).

Consent
If you have never purchased from us or have not purchased from us for a long time, but have given us your explicit consent to hear from us about our products, services, promotions or events that we consider may be of interest to you, we will contact you by post or email (according to the contact preference you have provided). You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us as set out in Section 1 above.

5. Do we share your personal data?
We may provide your personal data to the following recipients for the purposes set out in this notice:
our service providers, including

any other parties, where we have your specific consent to do so.

6. How might Winifred & Mabel personalise your experience?
To help us form a better, overall understanding of you as a visitor and/or customer, we may combine the personal data gathered during your online browsing and shopping experience with us (for example, via cookies which track the pages you viewed on our website – see our Cookie Notice for more information) and your in-store purchases. This also allows us to bring you offers and promotions that are most relevant to your interests.

7. How long will your personal data be kept for?
Winifred & Mabel takes every reasonable step to ensure that your personal data is retained for no longer than is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, or as required by law. For example, UK tax law currently specifies a six-year period for retention of some of your personal data. The factors for determining the retention period for your Personal Data may include:
Why we collected the data in the first place;
How old the data is;
Whether there is a legal/regulatory reason for us to keep the data;
Whether we need the data to protect you or us.

The security measures we have in place include:
regular reviews of information collection, storage and processing practices to protect against unauthorised access
restriction of access to personal information
monitoring of systems storing and processing information
use of secure technologies (e.g. SSL, encryption)
scenario planning and crisis-management exercises to ensure we are ready to respond to cyber security attacks and data security incidents.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
We take all reasonable steps to keep your data safe and secure and to ensure the data is accessed only by those who have a legitimate interest to do so. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Please contact us using the details in section 1 of this notice if you would like more information about this.
