2. This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is issued by WSM and is addressed to individuals outside our organisation who we interact with, including visitors to our websites and other users of our services.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, WSM is the Controller. WSM contact details are provided in Section 14 below.

This Privacy Policy may be amended or updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices with respect to the Processing of Personal Data, or changes in applicable law. We encourage you to read this Policy carefully, and to regularly check this page to review any changes we might make in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

3. Processing your Personal Data

WSM collects Personal Data and Anonymous Data from you when you visit our websites or when you send us information or communications. “Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone and mobile numbers, email address, as well as any information about you that is associated with or linked to, or could be linked to, any of the foregoing data.

“Anonymous Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data.

Anonymous Data does not permit the identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data, as described below.

Collection of Personal Data: We may collect Personal Data from you, such as your name, address and contact details when you register with one of our websites or when you choose to use the various services we provide. We also collect other types of Personal Data that you provide to us voluntarily, when, for instance, you make a purchase, respond to surveys and questionnaires, sign up to a newsletter, or enter a competition. If you provide us feedback regarding our websites or services via email, we will collect your name and email address in order to send you a reply.

Categories for Personal Data: The categories of Personal Data about you that we may Process include:

Personal details: information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us, including: given name(s); preferred name; country; preferences
Contact details: information that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our services, including: postal address; email address; telephone number
Device details: device type, operating system, browser type, browser settings, IP address, language settings, dates and times of connecting to our websites
Usage details: information about your visits and use of the websites including geographical location, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation
Lawful basis for Processing Personal Data: In processing your Personal Data in connection with the purposes set out in this policy, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the circumstances:

We have obtained your prior express consent to Processing (this legal basis is only used in relation to Processing that is entirely voluntary – it is not used for Processing that is necessary or obligatory in any way);
The Processing is necessary in connection with any contract that you may enter into with us;
The processing is required by applicable law;
The processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of any individual; or
We have a legitimate interest in carrying out the Processing for the purpose of managing, operating or promoting our business, and that legitimate interest is not overridden by your interest, fundamental rights or freedoms.
Our legitimate interest and your right to object: Legitimate Interest means the interests of our company in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service, content and offers.

For example, we have an interest in making sure our content and offers are relevant to you, so we may process your information to send you newsletters, marketing offers and partner promotions that are tailored to your specialist interests.

When we process your personal information for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws. Our legitimate business interests do not automatically override your interests in our specialist content and offers – we will not use your Personal Data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted by law.

Whenever we process data for these purposes we will ensure that we keep your Personal Data rights in high regard and take account of these rights. You have the right to object to this processing. If you wish to do so you may opt-out from receiving future communications from us by writing to us or emailing us using the contact details provided in Section 14 below. You may also personally manage your preferences or opt-out of all future communications by following the ‘Update your preferences’ link or ‘Unsubscribe’ link included in the footer of every email that we send. Please note if you do object or opt-out then this may affect our ability to carry out these tasks for your benefit.
