Privacy contact: Kerryn Waters
What are the purposes for processing the personal data? Creating our mailing list, direct marketing, taking payment and getting your goodies to you or to the lucky receiver!
What is the legal basis for processing the personal data? Where we have collected data from you for direct marketing purposes, the legal basis is your freely given, informed and explicit consent, which you have given by a positive act (i.e. accepting this Privacy Policy) knowing that you can withdraw it at any time. If you are arranging a delivery it is a contractual requirement to take the payment/billing details and delivery information (otherwise we can’t get your goodies to you!). Where we have collected data from you other than pursuant to an engagement or your consent, we have collected data to facilitate our pursuing our legitimate business interests.
Who receives your personal data? Your data is received by us, Hibar, and by our key suppliers including our distribution and delivery team, and our marketing platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
Will we transfer data to a third country? No.
How long will your personal data will be stored? We store all order and customer information indefinitely. This is necessary for our legitimate business purposes and to fulfil the purpose for which we collected the data, for example, to make a delivery to you, to contact you for marketing purposes and to facilitate your easy and convenient use of our website and ordering system.
15. YOUR RIGHTS
You may request access to, rectification or erasure of your personal data, restriction of processing or object to processing for automated decision-making. You also have the right to data portability. We may request a reasonable fee to process a data portability request that is manifestly unfounded or excessive, based on the administrative costs of complying with the request. We will contact you promptly and inform you if we require payment of a fee. We will not be obliged to comply with the request until we have received the fee. Just contact us by email if you have a request like this.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Hibar hopes that you will not have complaints but if you do, please raise them with us. You also have a right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the EU Member state where you live or work.
Where we have collected data from you where you have ‘opted in’ for direct marketing purposes pursuant to an offer, the provision of your personal data is a contractual requirement for the delivery of an opt in material. Similarly, if you are arranging a delivery it is a contractual requirement to take the payment/billing details and delivery information. If you do not provide personal data, we will not be able to provide our products or services to you.
Is there automated decision making (including profiling)? Any automated decision making would only relate to decisions necessary for us to perform the services as agreed for you such as choice of delivery service provider or method. Please note that we also utilise Facebook and Instagram advertising services, which may also utilise automated decision making. Please refer to their privacy statement, available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation, for more information. Please note that we are not affiliated with or sponsored by Facebook or Instagram.
We may collect other personal data about you from other sources. All such data is obtained from government registers and is publicly available. The categories of personal data include names, addresses and contact details.
