This policy outlines all our activities involving the storing, processing, use and sharing of personal data that identifies you or is associated with you. We collect this information based on the actions you take on the website.

Subscribe for a newsletter or place an order for any of our products or samples
Voluntarily provide feedback via email.
Use or view our website via your browser’s cookies. You have an option to use our website without giving us any of this data by simply changing your browser settings, this may however impede some of the interactive functionalities and your overall experience.
Purchase products via our website.

How will we use your data?

We will primarily use your personal data to let you know about products which we deem to be of legitimate interest to you or you have expressed an interest in via newsletter signup, transactions or online interactions, e.g. page views or clicks.

Fermoie stores your data in our database in order to:

Administer and process your order
Manage your account
Email you with special offers on other products and with the content we think you might like

When we process your order, our selected payment processor may send your data to credit reference agencies to prevent fraudulent purchases.

Information we share with third parties

We may share your personal data (but only the necessary personal data) with:

Our external advisors and trusted partners, who need it to carry out their responsibilities. This includes:

courier companies who are providing delivery services;
payment service providers;
external service providers and consultants; and
CRM, email marketing and automation platforms.

Buyers of our business, pursuant to a merger or acquisition of our business.
Law enforcement agencies, regulators, intelligence services and other parties for legal reasons.

We do not share personal data with other businesses who want to use your information for promotional services and we do not transfer your personal data to an entity outside the UK unless we entitled or obliged by law to do so.

International transfers

We may contract with external third parties who are based outside the UK so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK.

We may transfer your personal data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract between you (as the data subject) and us (as the data controller); for example, in order to fulfil an overseas order. However, when we otherwise transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

Lawful basis for sharing your personal data

The lawful basis which we rely on to use your personal data are as follows:

To perform a contract we have with you;
Necessary for our legitimate interests (such as debt recovery, and to study how customers use our products and services, to develop them and grow our business); and
Necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

Recruitment

We will use the information you provided in the job application or enquiry, coming either from Fermoie careers page or other external websites, to consider you for employment. We will keep your information for future consideration unless you tell us otherwise. This data will be handled internally and in confidence.

Marketing

Fermoie would like to send you information about products and services of ours that we think you might like. If you have agreed to receive marketing, you may always opt out at a later date.

You have the right at any time to withdraw your consent and stop Fermoie from contacting you for marketing purposes, you can do so by selecting the unsubscribe option available on each email or alternatively you can contact us at info@fermoie.com

If consent is withdrawn, we may still use your personal data to fulfil any contract we have with you (Article 6 of the GDPR which covers the necessity of personal data processing for a contract).
