Legal grounds for using your personal information

Contract

Where we have an agreement with you as an individual, we will use your personal information where necessary for the purposes of that agreement. Importantly, if you do not provide us with enough personal information for the purposes of the agreement, we may not be able to enter into or fulfill our obligations to you under the agreement.

Legitimate interests

In many situations, we will not have an agreement with you as an individual. Where we do not have an agreement with you as an individual and we have not asked for your consent, our ground for the use of your personal information is for the legitimate interests of our business. We will always consider your rights and your privacy before using your personal data for the legitimate interests of our business. Where your rights or privacy override our business interests, we will not use your personal data.

Direct marketing

If we obtained your details in the context of a sale of goods or services, we will send you direct marketing unless you object. If we did not obtain your details in the context of a sale, we will only send you direct marketing if you give us consent. You may request to “Unsubscribe” at any time after receiving a marketing communication from us. All marketing communications that you receive from S’more Scout will instruct you how to decline further marketing communications from us.

Consent

There may be other specific situations where the appropriate ground for us to use your personal data is your consent. We will always make you aware when we are relying on your consent to use your personal data.

Legal reasons

Separately from our business purposes, we will also use your personal information where we have a legal obligation to do so. For example, if a regulator or official authority asks us for your personal information. In very limited situations, we may also use your personal information to exercise our legal rights (including in relation to legal proceedings).

Purpose limitation

If we collect your personal data for one purpose and then intend to use it for a different incompatible purpose, we will seek your consent to do so and/or inform you where necessary or appropriate.

Personal data we share

We do not disclose personal data about you except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Processors

We may use a number of organizations to carry out a range of services on behalf of S’more Scout (“processors”).

Our processors must handle your personal data in accordance with data protection law. We also have agreements in place with our processors so that they only handle your personal data as we have instructed them to. They cannot make any other use of your personal information (except where required by law).

Legal reasons

We may also share your personal information with regulators or official authorities where required or where necessary to exercise our legal rights.

How long we keep personal information

To ensure we are able to meet our legal obligations and exercise our legal rights, we will store your personal information for 6 years after we last used it (or longer where we have a specific legal obligation).

Transferring personal data outside the European Economic Area

Many of our processors we work with are based outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). When we send your personal information outside of the EEA to a country not recognized as providing appropriate protections, we put in place appropriate contracts, group agreements, or other safeguards to ensure your rights are protected.
