Storage of your information

We store personal information both electronically and in paper form. We implement security policies, organisational measures, and technical security solutions to protect the personal information we hold from:

      • unauthorised access
      • improper use or disclosure
      • unauthorised modification
      • unlawful destruction or accidental loss

All of our employees, contractors, partners and third parties that we engage to process data on our, or your, behalf are obliged to treat the data confidentially. We hold and process personal data inside and outside the EEA and, in doing so, we will ensure proper safeguards are in place, (for example, where the European Commission has determined that a country provides an adequate level of protection) or where the recipient is bound by standard contractual clauses according to conditions provided by the European Commission (“Standard Contractual Clauses”).

Transfers outside of the European Economic Area

Personal information in the European Union (EU) is protected by Data Protection Law, but other countries do not necessarily protect your personal information in the same way. Data Protection Law applies to all countries within the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK, which means all the countries that are part of the EU plus Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and the UK.

We may transfer your information to service providers outside of the EEA and the UK for the purpose of providing certain services to you:

      • Our payment processing provider is Stripe. If you make payments to us by credit card, Stripe may transfer your information outside of the EEA and the UK in order to provide the payment processing service. They will only transfer your information in accordance with EU data protection laws (see section 7 of the Stripe Privacy Notice https://www.https://stripe.com/gb/privacypaypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full)
      • We may use other service or platform providers based outside of the EEA or the UK. This means we may transfer your information outside of the EEA or the UK for the purpose of providing our Services and advertising to you.
      • We may share information with our group companies or affiliates based outside of the EEA and the UK, including to the USA and Canada, for the purposes envisaged by this Privacy Notice  
      • Our partners may be based in Australia, South Africa or otherwise outside of the EEA or the UK. If our partner is geographically closer to you than our UK office, we may transfer your information to them in order for them to provide Services to you on our behalf.

Protection of your information

We take steps to ensure that appropriate measures and controls are in place to protect that information in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any credit card information or payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the Site or Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share any password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will endeavour to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Site or the Services. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Links to other sites

If you follow a link from our Site or Services to another site or service, this Privacy Notice will no longer apply. We are not responsible for the information handling practices of third-party sites or services and we encourage you to read the privacy notices appearing on those sites or services.

Our Site or Services may enable you to share information with social media sites. Those social media sites may automatically provide us with access to certain personal information retained by them about you (for example any content you have viewed). You should manage your privacy settings from within your own social media account to control what information you enable us to access from that account.

Your rights

If you are based within the EEA or the UK, in certain circumstances, you have the following rights as regards the personal information we process about you under Data Protection Law:

      • the right to be told how we use your information
      • the right to have your information rectified or erased, or to restrict how we process your information
      • the right to object to the processing of your information
      • the right to have access to your information
      • the right to have any information you provided to us returned to you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format
      • the right to withdraw your consent if we are processing your information based on your consent
      • the right to complain to the data protection supervisory authority if you are unhappy with the way we process your information

You can make a request in relation to any of the above rights by emailing us at: info@Celcat.com. We will respond to such queries within 30 days and deal with requests we receive from you, in accordance with the provisions of Data Protection Law.

If any of your information is incorrect or out of date, please let us know so that we can update our records.

Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as necessary for the relevant activity for which it was provided or collected. This will be for as long as we provide access to the Site or Services to you, your account with us remains open, or any period set out in any relevant contract you have with us. However, we may keep some data after your account is closed, or you cease using the Site or Services, for the purposes set out below.

After you have closed your account, we usually delete personal data within 60 days; however we may retain personal data where reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, resolve disputes, enforce our legal agreements, or fulfil your request to “unsubscribe” from further messages from us.

We will retain de-personalised information after your account has been closed.

Please note: After you have closed your account, or deleted information from your account, any information you have shared with others will remain visible. We do not control data that other users may have copied from the Site or Services. Your profile may continue to be displayed in the services of others (e.g. search engine results) until they refresh their cache.
