3) How We Use Your Data
We will primarily use your data to:
-
Keep you updated on the status of your order
-
Fulfil delivery of your order
-
Contact you if there is a query regarding your order
-
Contact you in relation to product and / or website reviews
-
Verify your identity or perform security and credit checks in relation to larger orders or orders placed via Purchase Order

Contact you to inform you of any open baskets we are holding open for you (this is where you may have inputted details but failed to complete your order).
In addition, your data including Payment Address and Payment Details will be shared with relevant and reputable third-party banking providers including PayPal and Apple Pay in order to verify and authorise your payment so your order can be processed. All third-parties used to process payments are under strict obligation to ensure your personal information is kept private.
Details shared are only used by both parties in order to confirm the customer is who they claim to be for fraud prevention. For credit card payments, we will never store card details. For PayPal payments, we do not send any personal data before the order is complete. When PayPal is selected as the payment option, we send a session ID to PayPal and once successfully logged in to their system, the customer authorises PayPal to share their details with us from PayPal. At this point those details are used to complete the order with us. We may then send final address details to PayPal when they confirm the order has been received for continued Fraud Prevention. The same is true of Apple Pay, where the customer logs in to these third-party providers and confirms with them that their details may be shared with us in order to complete the transaction. We then may share details of the order back to these providers for continued Fraud Prevention.

4) Direct Marketing
a) Legitimate Interests
We operate on an opt-out basis as we rely on ‘legitimate interests’ as a lawful basis for processing personal data.
We will process your personal data for the purposes of direct marketing of similar products and services from within Glove MonkeyLtd in the future, unless you take the opportunity to opt out of direct marketing upon completion of your first order with us or unsubscribe at any point.
We do however acknowledge that we deal with some private individuals, and that individual employees of companies who input personal data whilst dealing with us have the right to be informed and the right to object to direct marketing. We have therefore put in place several controls to put our customers in an equivalent position of control to consent, and to minimise the potential for harm or distress that any unwanted direct marketing could cause. We have concluded these steps to be reasonable and effective in balancing our interest of direct marketing with customer’s rights and expectations under GDPR.
More information on our legitimate interests assessment and justification for the above is available on request.
b) What You May Receive
The privacy of your personal data is of the highest importance to us. We will not share or sell your personal details to any company outside of Glove MonkeyLtd for the purposes of sending direct marketing, only to profile data in the interests of accuracy as explained above.
Unless you have requested not to receive promotional material from Glove MonkeyLtd, have unsubscribed, or chosen to opt out at the point of purchase, we may use your personal information to provide you with other relevant offers and details of promotions relating to your transaction history. We may contact you in several ways using the personal data supplied when placing an order which includes:
-
Email
-
Post
-
Telephone
We may also contact you to inform you of any open baskets we are holding open for you (this is where you may have inputted details such as email address but failed to complete your order). We do this for customer convenience as typically this occurs because of a technical fault. By keeping baskets open, customers can return to their purchase seamlessly without having to manually select products all over again. These can be unsubscribed from using a normal unsubscribe link, this will also unsubscribe you from all marketing emails from that website.
These communications may or may not be under the Glove MonkeyLtd brand that you have purchased from, but will still be owned by Glove MonkeyLtd and it will supply products that may be of interest to you or your organisation.
c) ‘Ship To’ Records
-
We understand that many organisations may purchase from a central office and have their order delivered to a different address, such as an individual branch or office. We term a different address entered within the ‘delivery address’ section of an order as a ‘ship to’ record.
-
We will use both billing and delivery address details for the purposes of direct marketing under legitimate interests as in these cases, we are unable to distinguish who has driven the purchasing decision; those who ordered the goods, or those who received them.
-
If you choose to opt out of marketing at the point of ordering, you will be opting out the details obtained within the billing address. If you wish to also opt out any details used for the delivery of goods, you can contact us using any of the methods listed below.
-
If you have received direct marketing from us because your details have been used for the delivery of an order, you can unsubscribe or manage your preferences as normal.
-
We may contact ‘ship to’ records via email, post or telephone.
5) Data Retention & Security
When someone places an order with us, requests a quotation or catalogue, their details may be inputted to our ERP system and be stored on secure servers.
All customer personal data is stored on secure servers employing extensive security measures to ensure it remains fully protected at all times. All servers used for data storage are also physically secured and provided by reputable companies that meet the highest standards of security.
We do not store any payment card information on any of our own servers.
General Retention Periods
Glove MonkeyLtd will retain customer data for as long as is reasonable and necessary. For the purposes of direct marketing, ongoing customer profiling, suppression management and fraud prevention this may be a permanent basis.
However, we do acknowledge that private individuals purchase from us and under GDPR we have an obligation to ensure that data is kept up to date and accurate. We take this seriously and therefore have a number of controls in place to ensure that data can be amended easily, and that we take steps to ensure out of date data is not used for direct marketing.
More information on retention periods and the steps we have taken to keep data up to date is available on request.

As a valued customer and in line with GDPR, you have full control over your data and how it is used by Glove MonkeyLtd We offer a number of ways our customers can manage their personal data in order to ensure that our interest of direct marketing does not override fundamental rights and freedoms or fall outside of a data subject’s expectations.

Subject Access Requests – Your Right To Access
We respect an individual’s right to access any personal data that we hold on them. As such we have an internal process in place in order to handle subject access requests expediently and in accordance with GDPR requirements.
Glove MonkeyLtd will:
-
Provide a copy of the information free of charge. However, we will charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs when a request is manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.
-
Provide a response within one month of receipt.
-
Take reasonable steps to verify the identity of the person making the request.
-
Provide the information in a commonly used electronic format.
-
Where possible, we will provide the information in a secure self-service system, such as a private link to the information hosted on a secure server.
Deletion Of Personal Data – Your Right To Erasure
We respect an individual’s right to delete any personal data that we hold on them.
We recommend that a global suppression may be more benefit to a data subject as opposed to a deletion. This is where we still store a minimal amount of individual’s personal data on our system, but mark it as not to be processed for any purpose. This is because it may be that we market to someone that has previously been deleted as part of a prospect list, which would obviously cause undue distress, however there would be no way for us to avoid it as we will have no record of the deleted details to suppress against.
Keeping the minimal amount of personal data we need in order to ensure that we do not contact an individual again may therefore by a preferable option. In this case we will explain to the data subject and offer a clear choice.
Third-Parties We May Share Your Data With To Fulfil An Order:
-
Direct or ‘Drop-Ship’ Suppliers: Some products we sell may be shipped directly from a supplier to the customer. Where this is the case we will need to pass on invoice and delivery names and addresses in order to fulfil the order. We will have processes and documentation in place with our drop-ship suppliers which will demonstrate our due diligence in checking that they will handle and dispose of any personal data in accordance with GDPR. We will also have strict agreements in place with regards to the processing of personal data.
-
Credit reference agencies: When we offer instant credit, we reserve the right to use personal details inputted during the order process in the interests of fraud prevention and to ascertain credit worthiness. These will always be reputable companies and be subject to strict agreements in place with regards to personal data (further details are available on request). Credit referencing typically only involves company information and is not personally identifiable, as we only extend credit options to established UK businesses.
-
Payment gateways: Your data including a session ID, Payment Address and Payment Details will be shared with relevant and reputable third-party banking providers including PayPal and Apple Pay in order to verify and authorise your payment so your order can be processed. All third-parties used to process payments are under strict obligation to ensure your personal information is kept private. Where possible, only the minimum amount of data is shared in order to verify the customers identity for fraud prevention. In many cases, the customer gives the third-party approval to share details with us in order to complete the order. Once this is complete, it is only at this point we confirm personal details with them for continued fraud prevention.
-
Search Engines: we use advertising and analytical packages from Google and Microsoft which use cookies in order to deliver their services effectively. This means that we share data collected via cookies on our websites with them, however this is not personal data for us, as we are unable to reasonably identify any individual from it.

Couriers; we despatch orders via a number of established couriers, this involves passing name and address details used for delivery in order to fulfil the order.
