This policy supplements any other fair processing or privacy notice that may be provided to you from time to time. Please contact us by email at ACHConsumerAffairs@tmpdirect.com if you have any questions, comments or concerns about this policy or how we handle your personal information, or if such information changes at any time.

Cookies

Some of the information identified in the table above, is collected by us through the use of cookies or similar technology when you visit our Website. In some cases, we will need your consent in order to place such cookies on your device. More information on the specific types of cookies we collect, our lawful basis and how to manage them can be found in our Cookies Policy.

Universal opt-out mechanisms

Our Website recognises the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal. If you are using a browser setting or plug-in that sends an opt-out preference signal to each website you visit, we will treat that as a valid request to opt out of our sale and sharing of your personal information. To download and use a browser supporting the GPC browser signal, click here: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs. If you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use.

Some internet browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the “Do Not Track” signal, our Website does not currently interpret, respond to or alter its practices when it receives “Do Not Track” signals.

Marketing and Promotional Materials

We do not sell your personal information to marketing or advertising companies. We may use your information to provide you with marketing and promotional materials (as stated above). In such instances, we will use your information to deliver promotional information that you have requested, or that we feel may interest you (unless you have previously told us that you do not wish to receive marketing communications from us).

Please see below, Sharing your Personal Information, for further information regarding the third parties we share your information with for marketing and advertising purposes.

Notice of financial incentive

From time to time, you may have the opportunity to provide personal information in exchange for discounts and price differences. For example, we provide discounts and price differences in exchange for you subscribing to our mailing list. Categories of personal information that we may collect when you subscribe to receive discounts and price differences include your email address.

Signing up for discounts and price differences is optional. By providing your email address during the discount sign-up process, you affirmatively opt in to receiving the financial incentive and to joining our mailing list. You have the right to withdraw from the financial incentive at any time. If you opt out of receiving a financial incentive, we will not reduce the value of any financial incentives you previously received from us. If you wish to withdraw from receiving the financial incentive, you may submit such a request at any time by emailing us at ACHConsumerAffairs@tmpdirect.com. 

The financial incentive or price difference is reasonably related to the value provided by your personal information. We take into consideration, without limitation, the anticipated revenue generated from such information, the anticipated expenses which we might incur in the collection, storage, and use of such information, and the anticipated expenses which we might incur related to the offer, provision, and imposition of any financial incentive or price difference. Based on this analysis, the value of your personal information that allows us to make these offers and financial incentives is the value of the offer itself.

Competition, Prize-draws and Promotions

We may process your personal information in connection with competitions, prize draws and promotions (as stated above) you may enter from time to time. Please refer to the relevant terms and conditions of such competition, prize draw or promotion for further information.

Unless you ask us not to, we may (subject to the laws applicable in your country of residence) make your surname and county of residence available: (a) on request to anyone who sends us a self-addressed envelope within 10 weeks of the closing date of the competition; and (b) to any relevant regulator if they ask us. We do this because it is necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests in complying with the laws, regulatory codes and guidelines in force from time to time.

You have the right to object to our publication of your information. To do so, please contact us as soon as possible, and within a week of receiving your winner’s notification should wish you wish to object.

If we haven’t heard from you within a week, and we are asked to publish your information, we will do so. If you object later, we may have already published your information.

Where we are asked to disclose your information to a relevant regulator, and you object before we have done so, we will consider your reasons for objecting and aim to comply with your request (where we are able to do so). However, please note that we may still be required by law or regulation to disclose your information, if for example, we are required to demonstrate that a valid award took place.

Should you win one, we may also write to you to request your agreement to reasonable publicity and the use of your initial, surname, county of residence and any photograph provided by you as part of that publicity on our Website and any of our social media accounts. We may also write to request your agreement to the creation of further materials based on competition entries which will be hosted on our Website. We use your information in this way on the basis of your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time after you’ve agreed but please bear in mind that, due to the nature of social media, once your information has been made publicly available for promotional purposes, it will be public and potentially copied or otherwise further distributed beyond our control.

Security

We have in place appropriate policies, rules and technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised or unlawful processing, and against accidental loss, destruction or damage.

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

However, the internet and email are not secure. Your communications may route through a number of countries before being delivered, may be intercepted by third parties and may not always reach the intended recipient – this is the nature of the World Wide Web/Internet. We cannot accept responsibility for any such unauthorised access or loss of personal information that is beyond our control.

You are responsible for protecting your username and password and must not share it with, or disclose it, to anyone.

Sharing your personal information

We will only disclose your personal information to:

• companies within our group for internal business purposes such as management, accounting and marketing;
• other third-party suppliers, including business partners and sub-contractors for business administration, support, processing, services, or IT purposes;
• our third-party logistics and delivery providers who deliver products to you on our behalf;
• analytics or search engines, that enable us to optimise and improve your experience of our Website;
• our regulators, law enforcement or fraud prevention agencies, as well as our legal advisers, courts, the police and any other authorised bodies, for the purposes of investigating any actual or suspected criminal activity or other regulatory or legal matters;
• our professional advisors (including without limitation tax, legal, insurance, or other corporate advisors who provide professional services to us); and
• regulators or other tax bodies or agencies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

To the extent authorised by applicable laws, we will disclose your personal information to third parties:

• in the event that we consider selling or buying any business or assets, merging with another business, financing our business, granting a charge over our assets or leasing or licensing our assets,  we may disclose your personal information to any prospective sellers or buyers of such business or assets;
• in the event we are the subject of any insolvency situation (e.g., the administration or liquidation);
• if we, or substantially all of our assets, are acquired by a third party, in which case personal information held by us about our customers will be one of the transferred assets;
• in order to enforce or apply our terms and conditions;
• to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our staff, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations (including without limitation regulators, the local police or other local law enforcement agencies) for the purposes of staff and customer safety, crime prevention, fraud protection and credit risk reduction; and
• if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation or regulatory requirements, or otherwise for the prevention or detection of fraud or crime.

The parties to which we may disclose your personal information (as summarised in this section) may be located in countries outside of the United States, including the United Kingdom and countries within the European Economic Area.  

International transfers of your personal information

We may transfer personal information to countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected (for example, outside the United States) in order to provide you with our products. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information and may not provide the same level of protection. Your personal information may be subject to the laws of such foreign jurisdiction and may be accessible without notice to you by the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities of such foreign jurisdiction.

If we transfer personal information to countries outside of your usual place of residence, we will ensure (in accordance with applicable laws) an adequate degree of protection is afforded to your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Notice to California Residents

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”), requires that we provide California residents with a privacy policy that contains a comprehensive description of our online and offline practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, sale, sharing, and retention of personal information and of the rights of California residents regarding their personal information. This section of the Privacy Policy is intended solely for, and is applicable only as to, California residents. If you are not a California resident, this section does not apply to you and you should not rely on it.

The CCPA defines “personal information” to mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. Personal information does not include publicly available, deidentified or aggregated information or lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern.

Notice at Collection of Personal Information

We currently collect and in the 12 months prior to the last updated date of this policy, have collected the categories of personal information as described in the section “The information we collect and how we use it.”

We collect personal information directly from California residents.

In addition to the purposes stated above in “The information we collect and how we use it,” we currently collect and have collected the above categories of personal information for the following business or commercial purposes.

• Auditing related to counting ad impressions to unique visitors, verifying positioning and quality of ad impressions, and auditing compliance with this specification and other standards;

Sale, sharing, and disclosure of personal information

We shared your unique personal identifiers (device identifier; cookies, beacons, pixel tags, mobile ad identifiers, or other similar technology; customer number, unique pseudonym or user alias; telephone numbers, or other forms of persistent or probabilistic identifiers that can be used to identify a particular consumer or device) to data analytics providers in the 12 months preceding the last updated date to advance our commercial and economic interests.

We disclosed your personal information to recipients for business purposes in the 12 months preceding the last updated date of this policy as set forth in the “Sharing your personal information” section above.

We do not collect, sell, or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes other than those allowed by the CCPA and its regulations.

Retention of personal information

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collect it and in accordance with the retention periods set forth in the “The information we collect and how we use it” section above.

Your rights

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights with respect to your personal information:

• The right to know what Personal Information we have collected about you, including the categories of personal information, the categories of sources from which we collected personal information, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling or sharing personal information (if applicable), the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information (if applicable), and the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you;
• The right to require us to delete personal information that we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions;
• The right to correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you;

Our process for verifying a request to know, delete, and/or correct

We will comply with your request upon verification of your identity and, to the extent applicable, the identity of the California resident on whose behalf you are making such request.

We verify your identity either to a “reasonable degree of certainty” or a “reasonably high degree of certainty” depending on the sensitivity of the personal information and the risk of harm to you by unauthorized disclosure, deleting, or correction as applicable. To do so, we will ask you to verify data points based on information we have in our records concerning you.

Right to opt out of sale or sharing of personal information
