1 Important information and who we are

Who Are We

We are Just Shutters (Franchise) Limited, trading as Just Shutters. Our registered office is at 59 Southbourne Grove, Bournemouth, Dorset, United Kingdom, BH6 3QU and our company number is 07450870.

Our Franchisees

Our franchisees are independent business owners and each franchisee is responsible for its own data protection compliance. However, we work very closely together with our franchisees, including sharing data and information between us, to provide our goods and services to you. To keep it simple for you, this notice therefore explains how your personal data is collected and used by us and by the franchisee with whom you have a business relationship (or who we refer to). When we use the term “our franchisees” in this policy, we are referring to that particular franchisee and not our franchisee network generally.

Purpose of this privacy policy

This privacy policy aims to give you information on how we and our franchisees collect and processes your personal data.
This website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.
It is important that you read this privacy policy together with any other privacy policy or fair processing policy we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This privacy policy supplements other notices and privacy policies and is not intended to override them.
If you have any queries about this policy or how we or our franchisees use your data, please get in touch using the details shown in the Contact Details section below.

Controllers

We and our franchisees are the parties responsible (the “data controllers”) for holding your data in relation to any queries or requests for quotes you submit, any transactions you enter into with our franchisees and any newsletters and marketing you’ve signed up to receive from us. We are also responsible for the operation of the website.
Changes to the privacy policy and your duty to inform us of changes
We keep our privacy policy under regular review.
It is important that the personal data we and our franchisees hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

Third-party links

Our website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

2 The data we and our franchisees collect about you
Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

3 How is your personal data collected?
We and our franchisees use different methods or our franchisees to collect data from and about you including through:

Click here [Glossary] to find out more about the types of lawful basis that we will rely on to process your personal data.
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.

Purposes for which we will use your personal data

We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we and our franchisees plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.
Note that we and our franchisees may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out in the table below:

Marketing

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

Promotional offers from us and our franchisees

We and all our franchisees may use your Identity, Contact, Technical and Usage to form a view on 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 (we call this marketing).
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

Third-party marketing

We and our franchisees will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

Opting out

You can ask us, all franchisees or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time.
Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.

Change of purpose

We and our franchisees will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us or the franchisee you have been in contact with.
If we and our franchisees need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Please note that we and our franchisees may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
For further information on how franchisees process, use and store your personal data, please contact them using the Contact Details section below.

5 Disclosures of your personal data
We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table above.

• Between us and our franchisees. We and our franchisees share your personal data between us in order for our franchisees to be able to provide Just Shutters products and services to you, for us to be able to maintain a centralised database of customers for customer services, in order for us and the franchisees to be able to respond to complaints and enquiries, and for marketing purposes (provided you have opted-in). For example, if you correspond with our franchisees in relation to a quote or a contract for products or services or relating to any publications or marketing that franchisee produces, we receive from that franchisee any Identity, Contact, Financial, Transaction and Marketing Communications Data you provide to them or that they create relation to your account. Similarly, if you correspond with us to subject a request for a quote for products or services via the website, we pass on to our franchisees Identity, Contact, Financial, Transaction and Marketing Communications Data that is needed for our franchisees to provide the requested service.
• External Third Parties as set out in the [Glossary].
• Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

6 International transfers
We do not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area.

7 Data security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

8 Data retention
How long will you use my personal data for?
We and our franchisees will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
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 purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes. For enquiries made or quotations given which have noted to you becoming a customer, we will keep the Contact and Identity Data collected for two years.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see [Your legal rights] below for further information.
In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).

11 Glossary

LAWFUL BASIS

Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.

Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

Comply with a legal obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to.

THIRD PARTIES

External Third Parties

• Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers.
• HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

You have the right (in relation to personal data held by us and our franchisees) to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are 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 restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that 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.

Withdraw consent at any time where we or our franchisees are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we or our franchisees (as the case may be) may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you would like to exercise any of the rights described above against either us or our franchisees, please direct your enquiry to the appropriate party, as described in the Contact Details section of this policy.
