4. How we use your personal data

The processing of your personal data is based on the following legal grounds:

  1. Performance of a Contract: We may process your personal data when it is necessary to fulfill a contract we are about to enter into or have already entered into with you. For instance, when you make a purchase of our products, there is a contractual agreement between us.

  2. Legitimate Interests: In certain cases, we may process your personal data based on our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party. This processing is conducted when our interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. For example, we may perform fraud screening during the check-out process to protect against fraudulent activities.

  3. Compliance with Legal Obligations: We may process your personal data to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation imposed upon us. This includes obligations such as keeping records of our sales for tax compliance purposes.

Please note that we generally do not rely on consent as the sole legal basis for processing your personal data, except when required by law, such as for certain direct marketing communications. If we rely on consent as the legal basis for processing your data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

5. Advertising, marketing and your communications preferences

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Tracking, Usage and Profile Data to form a picture of what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you and tell you about them. This is what we call direct marketing.

We may carry out direct marketing by email, text or post. For example, you might have the Loot Hoarder newsletter hit your inbox.

On our website, we always try hard to make it really clear what we are doing and what communications you will be sent, whether it’s you deciding to sign up to the Loot Hoarder newsletter or as part of creating an account or the purchase journey – and you have a right at any time to change your mind and say no thank you and opt out. The easiest way to opt out is to use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the communication.

Of course, there are lots of different ways you’ll see adverts for Loot Hoarder out and about, and not all of these are based on using personal data – sometimes we just buy good old-fashioned advertising space in the real world and websites and social media. If you see Loot Hoarder’s adverts on websites and in social media, these may not be directed specifically at you, we might just have bid for the space. But here’s some things we may do that may be specifically directed at you:

  • emails, for example the Loot Hoarder newsletter;
  • text messages, for example with discount codes;
  • promotions by post, such as great money off shipping offers.

Cookies can also tell us if you have seen a specific advert, and how long it has been since you have seen it. This is helpful, because it means we can control the effectiveness of our adverts and control the number of times people might be shown our adverts (you know, before we risk become annoying).

Cookies also help us understand if you’ve opened a marketing email because we don’t want to send you things you don’t read.
