General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
On 25th May 2018 the new Data Protection Bill frequently referred to as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) comes into force and replaces the current Data Protection Act (1998).There are many common factor between the DPA and GDPR however, there are a few significant differences which bring positive changes to the way personal data is stored and processed. This applies to data held in digital and printed forms where it is stored and how it is being used.

Lawful Basis
The first of the changes under the new regulations, requires businesses to confirm on what basis they believe they should have access to your personal data, either ‘Legitimate Interest’ or full ‘Consent’.
At the time you provide your personal data to us we will make it clear to you what you’re providing it for e.g. to complete a sale, make a special, order warranty, refund or exchanges, Newletter sign-up, loyalty scheme or promotional marketing campaign including special promotions and offers. Under this requirement, whatever purpose you initially provide your consent for remains valid for that purpose only. As we continue to serve you, we amalgamate these sources so that we know precisely what we are entitled to use your data for. As consent is the entry basis we have always prescribed to, nothing has changed in that regard.

GDPR Data Inclusions

How is your personal data collected?
We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:
Direct interactions. You may give us your Identity, Contact and Financial Data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or through chat or social media.Also our store customers will provide details while getting services instore and you will get asked for the consent to use the details at the time of taking those details.
This includes personal data you provide when you:

• Sign up to receive the Newsletter
• Make enquiries or request information be sent to you
• Book an appointment for our services
• Order our products or services.
• Ask for marketing to be sent to you
• Engage with us on social media
• Enter a competition, promotion or survey
• Contact customer services or leave comments or reviews on our products or services
• Returning any faulty products
• Enrolling to our loyalty program
• Requesting electronic copy of receipt
• Making any special order through our store Had one of our boot fitting service or any other medical service including Biomechanical assessment, Chiropody, Osteopathy
• Data from any third parties who are permitted by law or have your permission to share your personal data with us, such as via social media or review sites We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

How we use your personal data

• Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you. For example, when you purchase our products, that’s a contract.
• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. For example, when we carry out fraud screening as part of the check-out process.
• Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. For example, keeping records of our sales for tax compliance.

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than where the law requires it, for example in relation to sending certain direct marketing communications. Where our legal basis is consent, you have the right to withdraw consent any time.
See Explaining the legal bases we rely on to process personal data to find out more about the types of lawful basis that we will rely on to process your personal data.

GDPR Data Exclusions – Financial Data
This is one of the type of data which passes through our system and it includes credit and debit card information. However, the security of this is controlled through other regulations. Financial Data includes payment card details which is never stored by us at any form and all our online transactions are handled in 2 different mode. Sage Pay (If you are using credit card or debit card to pay) and paypal. Please see the sage pays privacy policy here.

Processing Personal Data
Under the Data Protection Bill once your data is passed to us, therefore by definition we become the ‘Data Controller’. This definition is the highest definition placed upon us by the ICO and means that we are charged with utmost level of care when it comes to safeguarding your privacy.
To preserve our relationship with you and not cause unnecessary frustration or anxiety to others, Footmap take extra care in storing your data and using them. We never send any marketing communication emails until you opted for. Your information is not passed to any third party for any purpose other than financial data which is handled by third party.

Accessibility
Personal, location and transactional data is collected through our businesses systems and is the responsibility of the company’s Data Controller within Footmap Ltd(within our Privacy Team). You can ask to see or amend what you believe are errors within this data or remove your permission for us to retain it, by reading the steps that we describe next e.g. ‘Subject Access Request’ & ‘Right to be Forgotten’. For anything else, you can always contact our Privacy Team by emailing “info@foot-map.com”

Subject Access Request (SAR)

What’s the ‘right to be forgotten’?
GDPR makes it clear that people can have their data deleted at any time if it’s not relevant anymore – i.e. the company storing it no longer needs it for the purpose they collected it for. If the data was collected under the consent model, a citizen can withdraw this consent whenever they like. They might do so because they object to how an organisation is processing their information, or simply don’t want it collected anymore.
Should you ever decide to refuse us permission to use your personal data, you can invoke your ‘Right to be Forgotten’. In activating this process, we will need to remove all your personal details from our systems. Once removed, this information will not be available to you, or us again, and should you recommence your relationship with us at a future date and provide us with a fresh set of permissions, none of your previous personal data would be available for re-assignment at that stage. You can submit a request to invoke your details by emailing us in info@foot-map.com with a subject of SAR Request and it will be taken care by one of our team member.
N.B. Please note that should you decide to invoke your RTBF, we are still required under other company law to store any transactional data that would have once been connected to you as an individual.

CCTV
You will see located around our retail store CCTV recording equipment. This equipment is there to safeguard you and our property whilst on our premises. It is not used to assign a personal identity to your photographic image and is therefore not governed by GDPR. This information may be legally used by the Police or other law enforcement agencies if called upon as part of any investigation.
