The law says that we cannot process your data unless we have a lawful basis for doing so. There are several lawful bases which we rely on, including:

  • Consent – when you agree that we can use your personal data in a particular way. You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing gdpr@spotpromotions.co.uk if you change your mind
  • Contractual obligations – to fulfil our contractual obligations to you or because you have asked us to do something before we enter into a contract together

8. Data Retention

Unless you have specifically agreed otherwise, we will only keep your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed and/or to enable us to comply with our legal obligations, for example for tax purposes.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the legal requirements. For example, details of your orders will be kept for as long as we need to retain that data to comply with our legal and regulatory requirements, this is usually 7 years unless the law prescribes a longer period.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for marketing purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
