4. What we do with your Information

We will use your personal information for a number of purposes including:

  • To process your orders and provide our services, goods or online content, to provide you with information about them and to deal with your requests and queries.
  • For administrative purposes, which means we may contact you for reasons related to goods or services ordered or online content you have signed up for, to let you know that a service or online site has been suspended for maintenance or if an online account has become dormant to ask if you wish to retain the account before we close it.
  • To provide personalized communications. Where we provide personalized services, we may analyze the information you supply, as well as your activity on our (and other) services, so we can offer a more relevant, tailored service. For example, if you view the Gentlemen’s Hardware page on our website, we may send you tailored emails about other men’s gifting products we think might be of interest to your business.
  • To serve you personalized ads. A certain amount of advertising is tailored to the individual based on viewing and/or purchase habits. This is a common practice known as online behavioural advertising.
  • To contact you about a submission you have made including any content you provide.
  • We use IP addresses and device identifiers to identify the general location of users, to establish the number of visits from different countries, to limit/cap adverts of a certain type, personalise content and emails, allow access to paywall protected content and identify the location of users in order to redirect them to the appropriate Wild and Wolf website (.co.uk, .com or .eu).
  • For analysis and research to improve our services and goods offered.
  • We may use and disclose information in aggregate (so no individuals are identified) for marketing and strategic development purposes.

5. What if I don’t provide some or all of the information requested?

The impact of this will depend on what information you withhold but the main impacts may be:

  • We may not be able to process or fully process your order.
  • We may not be able to contact you to let you know of problems regarding your order or the goods/services provided.
  • We may not be able to respond fully to requests and queries you may have.
  • We cannot personalise the service you receive. So, if you are online you will have to search more for the content type you normally view or for similar/related products.
  • Withholding email marketing consent. You are free to do this at any time. It will only stop you receiving marketing emails. It will not impact any other service/goods we provide you with.

6. Will You be contacted for Marketing Purposes?

  • We use your personal information to update you about new products/services by post or by email.
  • We will only contact you with your consent. You will provide this either when you fill in a form to provide your data, by signing up for a newsletter, selecting your preferences in your online account or when you call us.
  • We may personalise the message content based on information you provide us with, purchases you make and your use of the Wild and Wolf website at www.wildandwolf.com.
  • We may use information which we hold about you to send you tailored electronic direct mailers about new products and services.
  • You are entitled to withhold this consent and opt out from receiving such communications at any time by not giving your consent on the form (paper or web) that collects your details or telling the operator when you call. You can also unsubscribe by clicking the “Update Your Preferences” or “Unsubscribe from This List” links in the footer of the emails we send to you. See section 7 (on marketing).

7. What grounds (legal basis) are we processing the data under?

There are a number of grounds we process your data under. These are:

  • Contractual – we need the information to perform the contract for goods or services you have requested/ordered including payment, delivery etc.
  • Legal – should we be legally required to contact you concerning a product e.g. a product recall.
  • Legitimate interest – this means the processing is in Wild and Wolf’s interest. It allows us to manage the customer relationship effectively and efficiently and improve the goods and/or services we provide by better understanding how our online provisions are used and which goods are popular with which groups of individuals.
  • Consent – where you have given us consent to market to you.

8. Sharing your Information with Third Parties

We may from time to time provide your personal information to third parties for the purposes of providing you with our goods and services. These third party providers include payment processors, providers of card validation services, credit referencing providers, third party sales processor (includes fulfilment services) and service providers who assist us with hosting our marketing campaigns. They do not decide what is done with your data and only process it on our behalf. These third parties may be located outside the European Economic Area; however, we only use providers that provide adequate protection for your information at all times.

When transferring any personal information outside the EEA we only do so under one of the legally recognised transfer mechanisms for ensuring the data is safeguarded. These are:

  • The country in question has been deemed safe for data transfer by the European Commission. Also known as an adequacy finding.
  • The contract for data processing contains the standard contractual clauses laid down by the European Commission to safeguard the transfer of personal data.
  • Binding corporate rules – this is where a large company’s own internal processes for international data transfer have been signed-off and agreed by the European Commission as safeguarding the data.
  • If the data is going to the USA it can be safely transferred to a company that is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield.
  • Appropriate certification schemes

Advertising Partners. We work with third party advertising partners to show you ads that we think may interest you. These advertising partners may set and access their own cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies on the Service and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you which they may collect over time and across different online services. Some of our advertising partners are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN). If you do not wish to receive personalized ads, please visit their opt-out pages to learn about how you may opt out of receiving web-based personalized ads from member companies. You can access any settings offered by your mobile operating system to limit ad tracking, or you can install the AppChoices mobile app to learn more about how you may opt out of personalized ads in mobile apps.

We will not provide your data to third parties other than the above for marketing purposes unless you have specifically consented to this when you first provided your data to us. You are entitled to withhold this consent and opt out from receiving such third party communications at any time by not giving your consent on the form (paper or web) that collects your details or telling the operator when you call. You can also update these options by contacting us by email at privacy@wildandwolf.com or by post to Information Security Manager, Wild and Wolf Limited, 20 Manvers Street, Bath BA1 1JW, U.K.

As Required By Law and Similar Disclosures. We may access, preserve, and disclose your information if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to (a) comply with law enforcement requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; (b) respond to your requests; or (c) protect your, our or others’ rights, property, or safety. For the avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of your information may occur if you post any objectionable content on or through the Service.
