– Purchased from us or made an enquiry, and we are marketing similar products or services to you, and you have not opted out (soft opt-in under UK PECR rules)
4.2 You can withdraw your consent to marketing, or opt out of marketing communications, at any time by:
– Clicking the 'unsubscribe' link in any marketing email we send you
– Emailing us at customerservices@casavera.co.uk with the subject 'Marketing Opt-Out'
– Updating your preferences in your online account (if applicable)
4.3 Opting out of marketing communications will not affect the delivery of transactional communications relating to your active Orders, consultations, or warranty matters.
5. Who We Share Your Personal Data With
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share your data only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary:
5.1 Service Providers and Data Processors
We engage third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf and under our instruction. These include:
– Payment processors: to securely process card payments (e.g. Stripe, PayPal, or equivalent)
– Delivery and logistics partners: to arrange despatch and delivery of Goods to your address
– Installation subcontractors: to carry out installation services at your property
– IT and hosting providers: to host and maintain the Website and our systems
– Email and CRM platforms: to manage customer communications and bookings (e.g. HubSpot)
– Analytics providers: to analyse Website usage and improve our services (e.g. Google Analytics)
– Accounting and legal advisers: where necessary for legal or financial compliance
Where we engage data processors, we take reasonable steps to select reputable providers and, where practicable, we enter into data processing agreements that require processors to maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures. However, many of our third-party service providers — including payment processors, analytics platforms, CRM systems, email marketing platforms, and social media operators — are global businesses that operate under their own independent terms of service, privacy policies, and data governance frameworks. These providers operate outside the United Kingdom and are subject to the laws and regulatory regimes of their own jurisdictions, which may differ from UK law.
Anamorphic & Co. cannot be held liable for the data protection practices, UK GDPR compliance, or any data processing activities of third-party operators, platform providers, or suppliers who operate independently outside the United Kingdom. Our liability is limited to the reasonable steps we take in selecting and instructing our processors. Where a third-party platform or supplier independently determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, they act as an independent data controller and are solely responsible for their own compliance. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of all third-party services you interact with.
5.2 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure
We may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities, courts, or other third parties where we are legally required to do so, or where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:
– Comply with a legal obligation, court order, or regulatory requirement
– Protect and defend the Company's legal rights
– Prevent or detect fraud, crime, or a threat to safety
5.3 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or restructuring of the Company, personal data held by us may be transferred to the relevant acquirer or successor entity as part of that transaction. We will notify affected individuals of any such transfer where required by law.
6. International Data Transfers and Third-Party Platform Operators
6.1 Some of our service providers, platform operators, and suppliers are based or operate outside the United Kingdom.
- — When your personal data is transferred to or processed by organisations outside the UK
- — including in the European Economic Area, the United States, and other international territories
- — different data protection laws apply. The UK GDPR requires that we only transfer personal data outside the UK where appropriate safeguards are in place.
6.2 Where we are able to do so, we rely on the following safeguards for international data transfers:
– Transfers to countries that have received an adequacy decision from the UK Secretary of State, confirming that the country provides an equivalent level of data protection to the UK
– International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, which contractually require the overseas recipient to protect personal data to UK GDPR standards
– Binding Corporate Rules, where applicable
6.3 However, many third-party platform operators and technology providers we use
- — including social media platforms (Meta/Instagram/Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, X/Twitter), analytics providers (Google Analytics), payment processors, and CRM or email marketing platforms
- — are global businesses that operate under their own independent terms and privacy frameworks. These operators function as independent data controllers in respect of the data they collect and process through their own platforms. They are not acting on our instructions when processing data through their own systems and interfaces.
IMPORTANT LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: Anamorphic & Co. cannot be held responsible or liable for the data protection compliance, UK GDPR compliance, security practices, or data handling of any third-party operator, platform provider, website operator, or supplier that operates independently outside the United Kingdom — including but not limited to social media platforms, payment gateways, analytics providers, and logistics partners. Once data passes to an independent third-party controller operating under its own terms, that controller is solely responsible for its own compliance. Our responsibility is limited to the reasonable steps we take in selecting reputable providers and putting in place appropriate contractual protections where we act as data controller instructing a processor. |
6.4 We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party platform or service you use in connection with CasaVera
– including the social media platforms through which you may contact or follow us. Each platform's privacy policy will explain how that platform collects and uses your data independently of us.
– Staff training on data protection and information security
6.5 You may contact us at customerservices@casavera.co.uk if you have a specific query about international data transfers relating to data we directly control.
7. Data Security
7.1 We take the security of your personal data seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:
– Encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS technology
– Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel only, on a need-to-know basis
– Regular security assessments and reviews of our systems and procedures
– Secure payment processing via PCI-DSS compliant payment providers — we do not store full payment card details
– Staff training on data protection and information security
7.2 Whilst we take all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to take precautions with any personal data you share online.
7.3 In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) within 72 hours and, where required, notify affected individuals without undue delay.
8. Your Rights Under UK GDPR
As a data subject under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. We will respond to all valid requests within one calendar month (or up to three months for complex requests, with notice given).
Right of Access (Subject Access Request)
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, together with information about how we use it. Requests are free of charge and can be submitted to customerservices@casavera.co.uk.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Right to Erasure ('Right to be Forgotten')
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent (where consent was the lawful basis), or where you object to processing and we have no overriding legitimate grounds. This right is subject to legal retention obligations — we cannot erase data we are legally required to retain.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the data or where processing is unlawful but you prefer restriction to erasure.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. Where you object to direct marketing, we will cease processing for that purpose immediately.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
You have the right not to be subject to solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently carry out automated decision-making of this kind.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at any time if you believe we have processed your personal data unlawfully. The ICO can be contacted at:
– Website: www.ico.org.uk
– Telephone: 0303 123 1113
– Post: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
