CCTV footage is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes and is accessed only by authorised personnel or shared where required by law. CCTV signage is displayed at our premises.

We also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data which is not personal data as it does not directly (or indirectly) reveal your identity.

5.HOW IS MY DATA STORED AND PROTECTED?

The security of your personally identifiable data is important to us, and We strive to implement and maintain reasonable, commercially acceptable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the data that We store in order to protect it from unauthorised access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. 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. While We attempt to protect the data in Our possession, no security system is perfect and We cannot promise that data about you will remain secure in all circumstances, including the security of your data during transmission to Us or the security of your data on a computer or mobile device.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and We are committed to alerting you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

6.WHAT DATA IS COLLECTED THROUGH TECHNOLOGY AND BY THIRD- PARTIES?

‍During your visit, as you browse through and interact with Our site and place orders, We automatically collect and store the following non-personal, or anonymous, data about your visit:

- the date and time you access Our site;

- the pages you visit on Our site;

- if you navigate to Our site by clicking a link, the location of that link;

- the technical capabilities of the device you use to access Our site;

- the internet service provider you use to connect to Our site (for example "companyX.com" if you have a commercial internet account, or "universityX.edu" if you connect from a university); and

- the IP address (a number automatically assigned to your device whenever you are surfing the internet) from which you access Our site.

We use this data, in the aggregate, to make Our website more useful to visitors — to learn about the number of visitors to Our site and the types of technology used, to detect operational problems, and to improve the website’s overall security. Cookies, Beacons, Local Storage and Other Similar Technologies Cookies are small data files which include anonymous, unique identifiers that We may transfer to your device to allow Us or a third-party to recognise you and make your next visit to Our site easier. Recognising your device helps Us provide features such personalised advertisements, improve services, and compile aggregate data about site traffic and interaction. We may also use them to help Us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables Us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help Us compile aggregate data about site traffic and interaction so that We can offer better experiences and tools in the future. Similarly, flash cookies (also called Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") are data files similar to cookies, except that they can store more complex data. Flash cookies are used to remember settings, preferences, and usage, particularly for video, interactive gaming, and other similar services. We may transmit non-personally identifiable website usage data to third-parties in order to show you advertising for the Company when you visit other sites. You may choose to have your device warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you may even choose disable cookies through your device settings.

Do note that if you’ve chosen to disable or delete cookies on your device, some of the functionality of Our site may be lost. Some of Our features may not display properly, and We recommend that you leave them turned on.

Do Not Track Signals: Our website does not currently respond to browser-based ‘Do Not Track’ signals. However, you can manage tracking preferences through your browser settings and our cookie banner.

Analytics, Log Files and Reading History: We gather certain data automatically and store it in log files. This data may include IP addresses, browser type, operating system, and other usage data about the use of Our services, including a history of the pages or site features you view and/or interact with. We may combine this automatically collected log data with other data We collect about you. We do this to improve services We offer you, including customized recommendations, advertising, to improve marketing, and to track access and use of the Services across the devices that you may use to access the Services. We have hired third parties to provide Us data, reports, and analysis about the usage and browsing patterns of Our users. They may independently record the type of device and operating system You are using, general location data, as well as events that occur on Our App, such as how often you use Our App.

7.DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH ANYONE?

‍We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personal data unless We provide you with advance notice, except as described below. The term “outside parties” does not include the Company, its affiliates, or Our website. It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist Us in operating Our website, conducting Our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep your data confidential.

Third Parties: We may share data about Our visitors in aggregate or de-identified form with third parties for the purposes set out in the table ‘Purposes for which we will use your personal data’ above. Nothing in this Policy is intended to indicate a restriction of Our use or sharing of aggregated or de-identified data in any way. We may share your personal data with third-party service providers who act as data processors on our behalf, including providers of IT services, payment processing, analytics, marketing and customer support. These providers are contractually required to process personal data only in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection laws. We may also include links to third party websites on Our site in an attempt to provide you with increased value. These linked websites or other apps may have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, We seek to protect the integrity of Our site and welcome any feedback about these linked sites (including whether a specific link works).

Disclosure by Necessity: We may occasionally access, preserve, and/or disclose personal data as required by law, for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena or We have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process; (2) protect and defend Our rights and property; (3) protect against misuse or unauthorised use of Our Services; or (4) protect the personal safety or property of Our users or the public (among other things, this means that if you provide false data or attempt to pose as someone else, data about you may be disclosed as part of any investigation into your actions).

As We continue to develop Our business, We or Our affiliates may sell or buy other businesses or entities, or We may merge with another company, or be bought by another company. In such transactions, personal data may be among the transferred assets. Your data may be stored and processed in any country in which We maintain facilities or conduct operations and as set out in this 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.

8.YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, including the right 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 erasure of your personal data that We hold about you. 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 data 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.
  • Request correction of the personal data that We hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data that we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • 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 data 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 data which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the data to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we 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 may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
    If you wish to exercise any of these rights please submit a request to this designated email address: info@moilondon.uk. For further data on your legal rights please visit the ICO website (https://ico.org.uk/).
  •  

No Fee Usually Required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, We may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, We could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What We May Need From You
We may need to request specific data 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). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further data in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time Limit to Respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, We will notify you and keep you updated.

9. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

We may transfer your personal data outside the United Kingdom where necessary for the provision of our services or where we use service providers located outside the United Kingdom.

Where we do so, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including the use of UK-approved standard contractual clauses or transfers to countries deemed to provide an adequate level of protection.

Please contact us if you require further information about such safeguards.

10. DATA RETENTION

How Long Will We Use your Personal data For?

We 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 data about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances you can ask Us to delete your data: see your legal rights above for further data.

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 data indefinitely without further notice to you.

AMENDMENTS

We reserve the right to update or change this Policy at any time. Your continued use of the Service after We inform you of and/or post any amendments to the Policy at the website will constitute your acknowledgement and acceptance of such amendments.

11. QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK
