Marketing

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

You’ll receive marketing communications from us if you’ve requested information from us or purchased products or services from us, or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion. In each case, you would have explicitly consented to receiving marketing communications from or on behalf of us.

You can ask us or our third-parties to stop sending you marketing communications at any time by contacting [email protected] or by following the unsubscribe link on any related communications you receive from or on behalf of Feather&Black.

Where you opt-out of receiving marketing communications from, or on behalf of Feather&Black, this doesn’t effect the personal data provided to us as a result of a product or service purchase, warranty registration, product or service experience or other transactions (which we’ll continue to process in order to perform our contract with you, or as a result of our regulatory or legal obligations).

We will also share your personal information with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in this privacy policy:

6. How we keep your personal data secure

We’ve put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, unlawfully accessed, altered or disclosed. On our website, this includes ensuring all transactions with details that you send to us are secure and encrypted while it is sent across a secure connection. You can see that the shopping bag and checkout on our website is secure because a padlock symbol or key will appear in your browser (usually near the website address). The encryption technique we use is certified by VeriSign (one of the world's most respected certification bodies for internet firms). This means that the information you send to us can’t be read by anyone other than the Feather&Black team.

We limit access to your personal data to only those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They’ll only process your personal data on our instructions, and they’re subject to a duty of confidentiality. We also train and instruct our employees that all personal data must be handled in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable privacy and data protection laws, and any misuse by employees is subject to disciplinary action.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breaches and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

7. How long we retain your personal data for

We only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose we collected it for, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purpose for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve that purpose through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can’t be associated with you) and aggregate it for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely and without further notice to you.

For further information on how long we retain your personal data for, please contact [email protected].

8. International transfers of your personal data

We share your personal data with our partners, Bazaarvoice, and GetTimely, in the legitimate business interests of managing the performance of the our website. Please note that these partners are based outside the European Economic Area in the US, and the transfer of your personal data to such partner companies will be made in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation. For information on the safeguards applied to such transfers, please contact [email protected].

9. Your legal rights

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, and there are ways you can control the methods in which we store and process information about you.

We have explained these individual rights and controls below. To exercise these rights and controls, please contact us at [email protected].

Access:You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal data that Feather&Black holds about you free of charge, however we may charge a ‘reasonable fee’, if we think that your request is excessive, to help us cover the costs of locating the information you have requested. We’ll respond to your request as soon as possible and (save for in certain circumstances) within one month.
Correction: If there are any inaccuracies in the information we hold about you, please contact us and we’ll correct them.
Deletion:If you think we shouldn’t be holding or processing your personal data anymore, you can request that we delete it. Please note that this may not always be possible due to legal obligations.
Restrictions on use:You may request that we stop processing your personal data (other than storing it), if: (i) you contest the accuracy of it (unless the accuracy is verified); (ii) you believe the processing is against the law; (iii) you believe that we no longer need your personal data for the purposes for which it was collected, but you still need your data to establish or defend a legal claim; or (iv) you object to the processing and we need to verify whether our legitimate grounds to process your personal data override your own rights.
Object:You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and your situation makes you want to object to processing because you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we’re processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request the transfer:If you wish to transfer your personal data to another organisation (and certain conditions are satisfied), you may ask us to do so, and we’ll send it directly if we have the technical means. Please note this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdrawal of consent:If you previously gave us your consent to allow us to process your personal data for a particular purpose, but you no longer wish to consent to us doing so, you can contact us to let us know that you withdraw that consent. However, this won’t affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We’ll advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
