 * Your IP address, login information, browser type and version, time zone
   setting, browser plug-in types, geolocation information about where you might
   be, operating system and version.

 * Your URL clickstreams (the path you take through our site), products/services

4. How We Use Your Data

Data protection law means that we can only use your data for certain reasons and
where we have a legal basis to do so. Here are the reasons for which we process
your data:

 * Orders & Purchases: We’ll use the details you provide to process any orders
   that you make with us using our websites, apps, or in-store. If we don’t
   collect this information we won’t be able to process your order and comply
   with our legal obligations. Our legal basis for this is contractual
   obligation.

 * Keeping Our Website Running: providing and managing your access to our
   website and services, personalising and tailoring your experience on our
   website and services. Our legal basis for this is legitimate interest (see
   below).

 * Improving Our Website: Testing features, interacting with feedback platforms
   and questionnaires, managing landing pages, heat mapping our site, traffic
   optimization and data analysis and research, including profiling and the use
   of machine learning and other techniques over your data and in some cases
   using third parties to do this. Our legal basis for this is legitimate
   interest (see below).

 * Marketing Purposes: We may send you emails and messages about new features,
   products and services, and content. You will always be able to unsubscribe
   from these. Our legal basis for doing that is consent (if provided),
   otherwise our legitimate interests (see below).

 * Answering Your Queries & Customer Support: We will use your email and contact
   details to answer your contact requests and queries. Our legal basis for
   doing so is contractual obligation.

5. Legal Basis

We have identified a legal basis for each of our purposes in paragraph 4. This
is what they mean:

Legitimate Interest:

Processing your data is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate
interests of a third party, provided those interests are not outweighed by your
rights and interests. These legitimate interests are:

 * gaining insights from your behaviour on our website

 * delivering, developing and improving our service

 * enabling us to enhance, customise or modify our services and comms

 * enhancing data and physical security

 * promoting our products, services and business.

 * responding to customer enquiries, contact requests and promoting our
   services.

 * In each case, these legitimate interests are only valid if they are not
   outweighed by your rights and interests.

You can always object to our processing of your data based on legitimate
interest. If you do so and we have no other legal basis for processing your data
we will stop. If we do have another legal basis we will continue to do so,
subject to your legal rights.

Consent:

You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific
purpose.

You can always withdraw your consent. You can do this by clicking on unsubscribe
in any marketing email we send, or by getting in touch via the contact details
in paragraph 1.

If you withdraw your consent and we have no other legal basis for processing
your data we will stop. If we do have another legal basis we will continue to do
so, subject to your legal rights.

Contractual Obligation:

Processing your data is necessary for a contract you have with us, or because we
have asked you to take specific steps before entering into that contract.

6. Storing and Sharing Your Data

Data security is very important to us and we take appropriate security measures
(both technical and organisational) to safeguard and secure your data. We
regularly audit and test the effectiveness of our security measures.

As a multinational business your data may be processed outside the country where
you live. We endeavour to keep all of your personal information in the UK or
European Economic Area (EEA). The EEA includes all EU Member States plus Norway,
Iceland and Liechtenstein.

In limited and necessary circumstances your information may be transferred
outside of the EEA. Where this does happen, we will put special protections in
place. We will only move data to countries or organisations:

Where the EU Commission has deemed their data protection measures to be
adequate;

Or under a contract which enforces the EU Commission approved “standard data
protection clauses” which can be viewed at
https://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/transfer/index_en.htm.

We will never sell your personal data to a third party.

We will never transfer or disclose your personal data to any third party except:

 * Crown Paints is owned by Hempel Group. We may transfer your data to other
   parts of Hempel Group for internal administrative purposes – for example
   fulfilment of your orders, provision of internal support services, or where
   marketing is provided by other parts of Hempel Group. We will ensure your
   data is processed securely and in accordance with this privacy notice.

 * We may sometimes contract with trusted service providers to provide goods and
   services on our behalf. These may include, for example, payment processing,
   delivery of goods, search engine facilities, advertising, marketing and IT
   systems. This will sometimes necessitate the transfer of your personal data
   to those trusted service providers.

 * Where we transfer your data to our trusted service providers we will have
   confirmed that they will apply data protection and security measures to the
   same standard we would. We will always impose contractual terms on all of our
   providers to ensure your data remains secure.

In certain limited circumstances we may be legally required to share your
personal data – for example where we are involved in legal proceedings, or where
we are complying with a court order, regulatory requirement, or government
department with appropriate legal authority to compel us to do so.

7. How Long We Keep Your Data

We do not keep your personal data for any longer than it is necessary in light
of the reason(s) for which it was first collected and for our obligation under
other laws.

We may need to keep your information to establish, bring or defend legal claims.
We’ll therefore always keep your personal data for 7 years after the date it is
no longer necessary for us to hold it.

At the end of that period your data will be either deleted completely or
anonymised.

Exceptions to the above will be:

 * Where you have exercised your right to have the information where it applies.

 * Where the law requires us to keep your data for longer or delete it sooner.

 * Where a legal claim is in progress – we’ll keep your data until that claim is
   concluded.

8. Cookies

Like many other websites, ours uses cookies. Cookies are small pieces of
information sent by an organisation to your computer or device and stored on
your computer or device to allow a website to recognise you when you visit. They
help us collect statistical data about your browsing actions and patterns but
should not contain personal data (other than the cookie itself, which is defined
as personal data under GDPR).

All cookies used by and on our website are used in accordance with the current
cookie law.

Before cookies are placed on your computer or device you will be shown a pop-up
requesting your consent to set such cookies as detailed below. By giving us your
consent, you are allowing us to provide the best possible experience of our
website. You may refuse consent to cookies; however, certain parts of our
website may then not function correctly. You can alter your browser settings to
refuse all cookies.

There are four types of cookies:

 * Strictly Necessary Cookies – These are essential to make a website work and
   provide features you’ve asked for. Generally, these are used to provide
   shopping baskets and similar. Without these cookies the website may not work
   as intended.

 * Performance Cookies – These collect anonymous information about users for the
   purposes of tracking the performance of a website. Common uses include
   well-known analytics tools such as Google Analytics.

 * Targeting/Advertising Cookies – These are similar to performance cookies.
   However, they are used to track users’ behaviour and that information is then
   used on a “per user” basis to advertise products/services on the basis of the
   behavioural information collected.

 * Functionality Cookies – These are used to remember automatically the choices
   that users have made in order to improve their experience on the website; for
   example, selecting desired layout or language.

Our websites may use 3rd party vendor re-marketing tracking cookies, including
the Google AdWords & Facebook Pixel tracking cookie. This means we will continue
to show ads to you across the internet, specifically on the Google Content
Network (GCN) and Facebook. As always we respect your privacy and are not
collecting any identifiable information through the use of Google’s or any other
3rd party remarketing system.

The third party vendors, including Google & Facebook, whose services we use –
will place cookies on web browsers in order to serve ads based on past visits to
our website. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads
based on a user’s prior visits to your website. This allows us to make special
offers and continue to market our services to those who have shown interest in
our service.

9. Changes to Our Privacy Notice

We may change this privacy notice from time to time (for example, if the law
changes). Any changes will be immediately posted on our site. We recommend you
check the privacy notice regularly to remain up to date.
