information from access by unauthorized persons and against unlawful
processing, accidental loss, destruction, and damage. You acknowledge
and agree that we shall not be responsible for any unauthorized use,
distribution, damage, or destruction of personal data, except to the
extent we are obliged to accept such responsibility by the Data
Protection Laws.
You should be aware that your data may be transferred, processed, and
stored outside of your country and that your data may be subject to
disclosure as required by applicable law. It may also be processed by
staff operating outside the UK or EEA who work for one of our
suppliers or us. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the
fulfillment of your order, the processing of your payment details, and
the provision of support services. By submitting your Personal Data,
you agree to the transfer, storing, or processing of data. We will
take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure data security and
compliance with our Privacy Policy.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK and/or the EEA,
we ensure a similar degree of protection by ensuring the
implementation of at least one of the following safeguards:
a- We will only transfer personal data to countries that have been
deemed to provide an adequate level of protection.
b- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific
contracts approved for use in the UK, which give personal data the
same protection it has in the UK.
c- All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers
hosted within Amazon Web Services within the European Union or on our
encrypted computers. Where we have given you (or where you have
chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of our

our payment service provider, will securely process it.
e- Unfortunately, the transmission of data 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 our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we
have received your data, we will use strict procedures and security
measures to prevent unauthorized access.
You have rights under data protection laws in relation to your
personal data under certain circumstances.
You have the right to:
a- Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data
subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the
personal data we hold about you and check that it is lawfully
processed.
b- Request correction of your personal data that we attain. This
enables you to have any of your incomplete or inaccurate data
corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data
you provide to us.
c- Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask for
the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no good reason
for us to continue to process it. You also have the right to ask for
the deletion or removal of personal data where you have successfully
exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may
have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to
erase your personal data to comply with local law. However, please
note that we may not always be able to comply with your request of
erasure for specific legal reasons, which will be notified to you, if
applicable, at the time of your request.
d- Object to processing your personal data where we rely on a
legitimate interest (or those of a third party), and there is
something about your particular situation that makes you want to
object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts your
fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object to
processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. However,
in some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate
grounds to process your information which override your rights and
freedoms.
e- Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This
enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data
in the following cases:
i- If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
ii- Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to
erase it.
iii- You need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as
you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
iv- You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify
whether or not we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
i- Request the transfer of your personal data to you or a third party.
We will provide you, or a third party you have indicated, your
personal data in a machine-readable format. Note that this right only
applies to automated information which you initially provided consent
for us to use or where we used the information to execute a contract
with you.
j- Withdraw consent at any time where we require your consent to
process your personal data. However, this will not affect the
lawfulness of any processing executed before the withdrawal of your
consent. Please note that we may not provide certain products or
services to you if you withdraw your consent. If you wish to exercise
any of the rights set out above, please contact us at
[email protected].
We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to anyone who has no right to access it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information concerning your request to accelerate our response speed.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within a month. Our response duration may take longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. You will be notified and kept updated in such cases.
