Introduction

• We take the protection of your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. We understand that you are entitled to know that your personal data will not be used for any purpose unintended by you and will not accidentally fall into the hands of a third party. We preserve the confidentiality of all information you provide to us and hope that you reciprocate.
• The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you in regards to your personal data. We do this now, by requesting that you read the information provided at www.knowyourprivacyrights.org.
• Except as set out below, we will never share, sell, or disclose your information to third parties.
• This policy outlines the information that we collect about or receive from you. It describes how and why we process this information. By “process” we mean collect, store, transfer, use, or otherwise act on information.
• Our policy complies with UK law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The Information We Collect About Or Receive From You

We hold customer names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. We also store the personalisation requested for each order, which may include personal information such as children’s names and parents’ contact information. We do not store payment details. We also hold information submitted via our online school fundraising request form and contact form, by phone, by fax, and by email. We store addresses and contact information for members of our fundraising scheme, which may include details of individuals (such as school staff, PTA organisers etc) where supplied.

We also collect additional information about your browsing activity. This information is aggregated without reference to you as an identifiable individual and is used solely to monitor the performance of our website, for quality control, and to improve our site, products, and services.

How We Collect Or Receive Your Information

The information we hold has been supplied to us by you when you place (or attempt to place) orders with us, join our fundraising scheme and/or request fundraising resources, submit an online enquiry, or contact us directly by phone, fax, or email. Schools requesting free samples as part of our fundraising scheme may send us limited information in the form of a list of pupils’ names (which may be full names or partial names only). We never obtain personal data from any other source.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to send you the products you have ordered and to contact you if there is a problem with your order. We use your order history to provide additional customer support if you call or email us.

We use emails to inform you of the progress of your order and follow up with two emails to check that everything is satisfactory. These emails give you the opportunity to leave a review, contact us, and to opt out from further emails. We also contact customers who have started to place an order but failed to complete payment. This allows us to make you aware that your order failed and to help you complete your order if you wish to do so. 

If there is a quality issue with, change to, or discontinuation of a product, we may contact you to inform you of the situation and make you aware of your options. We may also contact you, very occasionally, by letter or email when we introduce a new product or service, which we feel may be of interest.

We share your delivery information with Royal Mail so they can deliver your order. Where schools have requested fundraising materials, we may send these packs via DPD; we share your delivery address, email, and phone number with DPD so that they can notify you of your expected delivery slot and deliver your fundraising materials.

Where schools supply a list of names, we use the information to print free personalised samples. The information is used solely for this purpose and is deleted as soon as the samples have been produced.

As stated above, we use anonymous information about your browsing activity to monitor the performance of our website, for quality control, and to improve our site, products, and services.

Our Legal Basis For Processing Your Information

We process your information under two legal bases; contract and legitimate interests.

LEGAL BASIS: CONTRACT

The contract basis allows us to process your information in order to fulfil a contact that we have with you or to respond to a request that you have made as a step towards entering a contract.

When you order labels from us, this creates a contract between you and us. We must process your information to supply you with the labels you have ordered. When you request fundraising materials, submit an enquiry via our contact form, or contact us directly, we need to use the information you provide to respond to that request (e.g. by sending your fundraising materials or answering the enquiry you submitted to us).

As part of our contract with you, we will use your information to:

• Deliver your order
• Provide updates about the status of your order
• Provide updates about products you have ordered
• Answer your enquiries, send fundraising materials, or provide advice about our products, service, and website
• Verify your identity for security purposes

LEGAL BASIS: LEGITIMATE INTERESTS

The legitimate interests basis allows us to process your information where we believe there is a legitimate interest to do so, where it is necessary to process your information to fulfil that interest, and where processing your information is balanced against your interests, rights, and freedoms.

Very occasionally, we inform customers about problems with, changes to, or discontinuation of products they have ordered or enquired about. We have considered this activity carefully and feel that a maximum of three communications (via post or email) per year is an appropriate and expected level of communication. We believe it is in the interests of our customers to continue with this service, and we need to process your information to deliver these communications.

We also follow up all orders with two emails. These emails give you the opportunity to leave us a review, contact us with any queries or problems with your order, or to opt out of receiving future emails from us.

You have the right to opt out of all these emails at any time using the unsubscribe link provided in each email or by emailing us at info@labelplanet.co.uk.

We offer our school fundraisers, usually schools and PTA organisations, the opportunity to request free personalised samples for children. Over the years, we have found that these samples have a real benefit to our school fundraisers by boosting the number of parents who use name labels on their children’s belongings. In order to fulfil this offer, we need to request a list of pupils’ names or initials; this partial information is processed for the sole purpose of printing free samples. As soon as the samples have been printed, we delete the file from our systems completely. We have produced a GDPR statement for schools and PTAs, which relates specifically to the information supplied to us when schools request free samples; a copy of this statement can be downloaded from our Downloads & Useful Links page.

Other reasons we may process your information

Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation. For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.

Specific Uses Of Information You Provide To Us

Information provided in reviews

When you submit a review of our products, it is on the understanding that your comments will be displayed on our website and may be used on future marketing materials. You can leave a review anonymously or include a name. If you wish to withdraw your review, you can do so at any time by sending an email to info@labelplanet.co.uk.

Information provided via our payment gateway

We do not process your payment details. At the point of payment, you are transferred to the secure payment gateway of Stripe, PayPal, or Apple Pay – depending on how you choose to pay. The payment gateway uses 128 Bit TLS Secure Encryption and ensures that your information is encrypted before being transmitted to Stripe, PayPal, or Apple Pay. They receive and process the payment details required to verify and authorise your payment.

How We Protect Your Information

Where Your Information Is Stored

Your information is stored on our server and a backup is stored on an offsite server. Some delivery address information is stored on the servers of our delivery providers. Personal information sent to us via email is stored offsite on our email server. No personal information is stored in a printed format.

Who Has Access To Your Information

Label Planet customer service personnel and directors have access to your information via computers in our offices. Only authorised Label Planet employees have access to the secure office.

We do not offer an account service on our website, so you cannot login to an account to view your information online.

We supply emails and phone numbers to DPD so they can provide you with an expected delivery slot.

 Our computer maintenance company and our web development company have restricted and controlled access to our systems when this is necessary for maintenance. Our payment gateway providers have access to your payment details. Where appropriate we have non-disclosure agreements in place with third party companies and have satisfied ourselves that they are compliant with current legislation.

How We Protect Your Information

All information has at least two levels of password protection. All systems are protected by firewalls. Our website uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt your connection (and any information you submit) before it is transmitted over the Internet.

We have commercial grade virus protection, which automatically updates and we only run current versions of commercial software. We generally keep PCs for 3 years and destroy their hard drives prior to disposal.

All terminals and servers have at least two levels of physical protection to prevent physical access. All access to personal information by Label Planet staff takes place in our supervised customer service section. No staff have laptops or any remote access to personal data.

Access To Your Own Information

You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you, in addition to requesting alterations to or deletion of your information. To do this, contact our Customer Service Team by phone or email a request to info@labelplanet.co.uk.

When we receive any request to access, edit, or delete information, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before taking any action. This is important to safeguard your information. If you want us to delete your information, we will also make you aware of the consequences of this action prior to any alteration or deletion. For example, this may limit the services and level of customer support that we can provide to you.

Retention Period For Your Information

We keep your information only for as long as required:

• to provide you with the goods and services you have requested;
• to provide ongoing customer support;
• to comply with other laws, including the period demanded by our tax authorities;
• to support a claim or defence in court.
