your rights.

By law, you have a number of rights when it comes to your personal data, including:: 

The right to be informed. You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your information and your rights. This is why we are providing you with the information in this policy.

The right of access.  You have the right to obtain access to your information (if we are processing it), and certain other information (similar to that provided in this privacy policy). This is so you are aware and can check that we are using your information in accordance with data protection law. You can do this by writing to us on the email address below.

The right to correction.  You are entitled to have your information corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete. You can do this through your account page or by contacting us at the email address below.

The right to erasure.  This is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’ and in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your information where there is no compelling reason for us to keep using it. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions.

The right to restrict processing.  You have rights to ‘block’ or suppress further use of your information. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information, but may not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be ‘blocked’ to make sure the restriction is respected in future.

The right to data portability.  You have rights to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. For example, if you decide to switch to a new provider, this enables you to move, copy or transfer your information easily between our IT systems and theirs, safely and securely without affecting its usability.

The right to object to processing.  You have the right to object to certain types of processing, including processing for direct marketing (i.e., if you no longer want to be contacted with potential opportunities). You can do this by emailing us at help@smolproducts.com.

The right to lodge a complaint.  You have the right to lodge a complaint about the way we handle or process your personal data with your national data protection regulator. In the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office. Further information can be found at: www.ico.org.uk.

The right to withdraw approval.  You have the right to withdraw your consent to processing at any time (although if you do so, it does not mean that anything we have done with your personal data with your consent up to that point is unlawful). This includes your right to withdraw consent to us using your personal data for marketing purposes. You can do this by any of the following means:

security and retention.

We have implemented technology and security features, as well as strict internal guidelines, to safeguard to an appropriate extent the privacy of your personal information from loss, alteration, unauthorised access or improper use. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed, and we will continue to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes available. Whilst we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, alteration, unauthorised access or improper use of information will never occur, we use all reasonable efforts to prevent it.

While we make every effort to ensure that your information is secure on our system, you should bear in mind that submission of information over the internet is never entirely secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security, integrity, availability or retention of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.

Your account information is password-protected for your privacy and security. You can play an important role in keeping your personal information secure by maintaining the confidentiality of your password used on our Site. We recommend that you change your password from time to time for additional security. Please advise us immediately if there is any unauthorised use of your account by any other internet user or any other breach of security.

Only key members of our personnel have access to personal information. Backups are run to prevent loss of information and our internet servers are housed in secure facilities.

It is advisable to close your browser when you have finished your user session to help ensure that others do not access your personal information if you use a shared computer or a computer in a public place.

Information may be retained in countries outside of the European Economic Area, including the USA. We will ensure that any information transferred outside of the European Economic Area will be adequately protected. You agree to the transfer of your information.

information sharing and disclosure.

smol is committed to protecting your personal information. We will not disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties except where:

smol is required by law to disclose information to third parties;

the service is necessary for the performance of our operations i.e. mail delivery, hosting services, protecting us from fraud, and payment of your account;

smol buys or sells subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions customer information is one of the transferred assets but would remain subject to the commitments made in any pre-existing privacy policy or equivalent.

smol may provide analyses of our customers in the aggregate to prospective partners, advertisers and other third parties. We do this so that we and our business partners can understand you better, and so we can keep bringing you first-rate services. We may also disclose, on an anonymous basis, literal statements made by our customers. At no time, however, will we disclose personal information about specific customers.

Linked websites are not under the control of smol and we are not responsible for the conduct of companies linked to our website. Before disclosing your personal information on any other website, we advise you to examine their terms and services of use. If you have any questions concerning the smol privacy policy, please contact us at privacy@smolproducts.com.
