1. Who are we?

In this policy references to Lamps Direct, ‘we’ or ‘us’ are to Kicktek Ltd. Registered at: 1 The Galloway Centre, Express Way, Newbury, RG14 5TL United Kingdom.

Lamps Direct is a trading division of Kicktek Limited.

2. What personal data we collect and how we use it

What we need

Lamps Direct is what’s known as the ‘controller’ of the personal data you provide to us. We will usually collect basic personal data about you like your name, postal address, telephone number, email address and your bank details if you have a trading account with us.

Sometimes we will collect other information about you such as your interests. We will be very clear with you that we wished to collect such information, our reason for collecting such information, and we would only do so with your specific consent and permission.

Why we need it

We collect your personal data in connection with specific activities, such as product updates, newsletter requests, registration or membership requests, product purchases, feedback, competition entries, information you provide in public forums on our sites and applications.

The information is either needed to fulfil your request or to enable us to provide you with a more personalised service. You don't have to disclose any of this information to browse our sites. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with certain services.

Our marketing

Sometimes, with your consent, we will process your personal data to provide you with information about our work or our activities that you have requested or are expecting.

On other occasions, we may process personal data when we need to do this to fulfil a contract (for example, if you have purchased something from our web shop) or where we are required to do this by law or other regulations.

Lamps Direct also processes your data when it is in our legitimate interests to do this and when these interests do not override your rights. Those legitimate interests include providing you with information on our services, products, newsletter requests, feedback, competitions and other activities and those of other carefully selected organisations. Please see the section on 'Legitimate Interest' for more information.

How we obtain your details

We will also hold information about your details so that we can respect your preferences for being contacted by us.

We collect your personal information in a number of ways:

• When you provide it to us directly.
• When you provide permission to other organisations to share it with us (including Facebook or Twitter).
• When we collect it as you use our websites or apps.
• When you have given it to a third party and you have provided permission to pass your information on to us.
• From publicly available sources (where possible) to keep your information up to date (e.g. the Post Office’s National Change of Address database).

We combine the information from these sources with the information you provide to us directly.

From time to time we may pay for the contact details of people who might be interested in hearing from us in future. Before we purchase contact information, we always check the wording used when your information was originally collected, to make sure that we only contact people who have actively expressed an interest in receiving information from third parties.

When providing permission for 3rd party organisations to share your data you should check their Privacy Policies carefully to understand fully how they will process your data.

Building profiles of customers

Lamps Direct may make use of profiling and screening methods to produce relevant communications and provide a better experience for our customers. Profiling can help us target our resources more effectively through gaining an insight into the background of our customers and helping us to build relationships that are appropriate to their interests.

To do this we may use additional external sources of data to increase and enhance the information we hold about you. This may include obtaining details of changes of address, telephone numbers and other contact details, information related to your interests and demographic data. It may also include information from public registers and other publicly available sources such as Companies House, newspapers and magazines.

If you do not wish your data to be used in any of the ways listed above or have questions about this then use the contact form on our 'Contact Us' page.

As a parent or guardian we encourage you to be aware of the activities in which your children are participating, both offline and online. If your children voluntarily disclose information, this may encourage unsolicited messages. We suggest that you discourage your child from providing any information without your consent.

Anything else?

All the personal data we process is processed by our staff in the UK however for the purposes of IT hosting and maintenance your information may be situated outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). This will be done in accordance with guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office.

• To our subsidiaries (i.e. the companies owned by KickTek Ltd).
