2.3 Special category and sensitive data

We do not intentionally collect special category personal data (such as health information, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or biometric data). If you provide such information to us voluntarily (for example, in correspondence about a specific need), we will only process it where we have a lawful basis to do so under Article 9 of the UK GDPR.

To create and manage your customer account — legal basis: performance of a contract.

To respond to your enquiries and provide customer service — legal basis: performance of a contract and legitimate interests.

To send you order confirmations, shipping updates, and other transactional communications — legal basis: performance of a contract.

4. Who We Share Your Personal Data With

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted third parties who provide services on our behalf or who are necessary to deliver your order, and only to the extent required. Our key third parties are:

Stripe — our payment processor. Stripe collects and processes your payment card details on its own secure infrastructure under its own privacy policy. We receive transaction confirmation but do not store full card details.

Captivation Hub (LeadConnector / GoHighLevel) — our website platform, customer account system, and email marketing provider. Customer details, order data, and marketing preferences are processed through this platform.

Cloudflare — our website security and content delivery provider, which processes IP addresses and device information for security purposes.

Royal Mail — our UK delivery carrier. We share your name, delivery address, and contact details so they can deliver your order.

FedEx and DHL — our international delivery carriers. We share your name, delivery address, contact details, and customs-related information as required.

Trustpilot — our reviews partner. After you complete a purchase, we may share your email address and order reference with Trustpilot so they can invite you to leave a review. Trustpilot is an independent data controller and processes your data under its own privacy policy.

We may also share your personal data with:

our accountants and financial advisers, for invoicing, accounting, and tax purposes;

professional advisers (such as solicitors or insurers), where necessary to obtain advice or defend our legal rights;

regulatory authorities, law enforcement, or government bodies, where required by law or to protect our legal rights;

any successor business, in the event of a sale, merger, or restructuring of Colēre Limited.

Colēre Limited — Privacy Policy

All third parties acting as our processors are required by contract to handle your personal data securely and in compliance with the UK GDPR.

5. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers operate internationally, which means your personal data may be transferred to, stored, or processed in countries outside the United Kingdom — in particular:

United States — Stripe, Captivation Hub (GoHighLevel), and Cloudflare are all headquartered in the United States and may process data on US-based infrastructure.

European Union — Trustpilot is headquartered in Denmark and processes data within the EU. The UK currently recognises EU/EEA countries as providing an adequate level of data protection.

International delivery destinations — when you place an order to be delivered outside the UK, your name, delivery address, and contact details will be processed in the destination country by the relevant courier and, where required, by customs authorities.

Where personal data is transferred outside the UK to a country that does not have an adequacy decision, we ensure that one or more of the following safeguards is in place, as required by the UK GDPR:

the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses;

the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, where the recipient is certified under it;

another lawful safeguard recognised under Article 46 of the UK GDPR; or

a derogation under Article 49, such as where the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (for example, delivering your order overseas).

If you would like further information about the safeguards we use, please contact us using the details in Section 14.

6. How Long We Keep Your Personal Data

We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, regulatory, or reporting obligations. Our general retention periods are:

Customer accounts: for as long as your account remains active. If your account is inactive for more than 3 years, we may close it and delete or anonymise the associated data.

Order records, invoices, and accounting data: 6 years from the end of the financial year in which the transaction took place, in line with HM Revenue & Customs requirements.

Colēre Limited — Privacy Policy

Page 5 of 7

Marketing preferences and unsubscribe records: for as long as is reasonably necessary to honour your preferences and to evidence your consent or withdrawal of consent.

Customer service communications: for up to 3 years after the matter is resolved, unless retained for longer to defend legal claims.

Website analytics and security logs: for the periods set by our platform and security providers, typically no longer than 24 months.

We may retain personal data for a longer period where the law requires us to do so or where it is necessary to defend or establish legal claims. Once data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

7. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction. These measures include:

encrypted website connections (HTTPS) through Cloudflare;

secure storage of customer account passwords using industry-standard hashing;

use of PCI-DSS-compliant payment processing through Stripe (we do not store your full card details);

access controls limiting who within our business can access personal data;

the use of reputable cloud-based service providers with their own security certifications.

No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we take reasonable steps to safeguard your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to us electronically. Any transmission is at your own risk.

8. Personal Data Breach Notification

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 of becoming aware of the breach, in accordance with Article 33 of the UK GDPR. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly without undue delay.

9. Your Data Protection Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

Right of access — to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you;

Right to rectification — to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data;

Colēre Limited — Privacy Policy

Page 6 of 7

Right to erasure ("the right to be forgotten") — to request that we delete your data in certain circumstances;

Right to restrict processing — to ask us to limit how we use your data;

Right to object — to object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, or to direct marketing;

Right to data portability — to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format;

Right to withdraw consent — where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing;

Rights in relation to automated decision-making — see Section 10.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month, as required by the UK GDPR. There is normally no charge, although we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse the request where it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):

Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF

Helpline: 0303 123 1113

Website: https://ico.org.uk

10. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not use your personal data for any automated decision-making (decisions made solely by automated means without human involvement) or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

Our payment provider, Stripe, may carry out automated fraud-prevention checks on transactions. These checks form part of the standard, industry-wide processes used to protect both customers and merchants from fraudulent transactions, and are governed by Stripe's own privacy policy.

11. Marketing Communications

We will only send you marketing communications where you have given us your consent to do so, or where we are otherwise permitted by law. Where you are an existing customer, we may send you information about similar products in accordance with the "soft opt-in" rule under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), provided you were given a clear opportunity to opt out at the time of purchase and in every subsequent message.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any marketing email, by updating your account preferences, or by emailing us at [email protected]. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the

Colēre Limited — Privacy Policy

lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew it, and will not stop us from sending you transactional communications (such as order confirmations and shipping updates).

12. Cookies and Website Tracking

Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate securely, to remember your preferences, and to understand how the Website is used. Full details, including the specific cookies used and how to manage your cookie preferences, are set out in our Cookie Policy, which is available on our Website.

We do not currently use Google Analytics, Meta (Facebook) Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or any third-party advertising trackers. If we introduce any such tracking in future, we will update our Cookie Policy and obtain your consent before such cookies are set.

13. Children's Privacy

Our Website and products are directed at adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 18. If you believe that we may have collected personal data from a child, please contact us so that we can take appropriate steps to delete it.
