1. Introduction

• Connolly’s RED MILLS has created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. We fully respect your right to privacy, and will not collect any personal information about you on this website without your permission. Any personal information which you volunteer to us will always be dealt with in accordance with applicable law, including in accordance with the European Regulation 2016/79 of 27 April 2016 relating to the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data (“the GDPR”). The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices of Connolly’s RED MILLS through this website.
• A user can access our website and utilise some of our website’s functionality without providing any personal information. However, all users who become a registered user of our website must provide basic contact and demographic information. Any personal information held or processed will be destroyed as soon as the reason for its collection or processing has lapsed.
• We do not follow a user’s browsing path outside of our website.

2. Collection and Usage of personal information

• Connolly’s RED MILLS does not collect any personal information about you on this website, apart from information which you volunteer, for example if you submit forms for nutritional advice, customer service support or subscribe to our email or newsletters.
• Your personal information may also be anonymised so that is no longer personal data (within the meaning of the GDPR) and used for our own business purposes.
• From time to time, our website requests information from users via surveys or competitions. Participation in these surveys and/or competitions is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact details (such as name and delivery address) and demographic information (such as address and age grouping). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes; demographic information will be used for purposes of monitoring and improving the website.
• Connolly’s RED MILLS may, with your expressed permission, send you e-mails regarding its products.

3. How long do we keep this personal information?

• We keep your personal information only for as long as is necessary to carry out the purpose for which we are holding this data. Generally we will retain your personal information for seven years, unless required otherwise by applicable law.

4. Our legal basis for processing your data

• Save as expressly stated in this Privacy Policy we rely on the following legal basis for processing your personal information:

5. Sharing your information

• We may share your personal information with certain third parties, including third party service providers (such as hosting providers). We do this based upon the legal bases and exceptions mentioned in this Privacy Policy. We may share your personal information with third parties for the following reasons:
• Legal and safety reasons: We may retain, preserve, or share your personal information if we have a good-faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to (a) respond, based on applicable law, to a legal request (e.g., a subpoena, search warrant, court order, or other request from government or law enforcement); (b) detect, investigate, prevent, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; (c) protect our rights, property, or safety; (d) enforce any contracts we have with you or any of our website terms or notices.
• Service providers: We may share your personal information to help us provide our services and communicate with you. Categories of service providers include IT software and hosting providers and records-storage companies. Where such third parties are processors, these third parties are contractually required to use your information only to provide their service to us and are contractually barred from using your information for their own purposes.
• Business re-organisation: In instances where our business is subject to a re-organization, such as a merger or acquisition of some or all of its assets, we may, in accordance with our legitimate interests, need to share information in the course of the transaction. In such circumstances, your personal information may be disclosed, where permitted by applicable law, in connection with a corporate restructuring, sale, or assignment of assets, merger, or other changes of control or financial status of Connolly’s RED MILLS or any of its group companies.

5. Data Transfers

• In certain limited circumstances we may transfer your information to, or it may be accessible by, our group companies or our services providers who are based outside of the European Economic Area. When we do this we do so through legal mechanisms which are in accordance with the GDPR. Such mechanisms are in place to ensure that your information is protected to the same standards as those provided for under the GDPR. An example of these mechanisms is the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission. These will be put in place between us and the organisation to which the information is transferred. For more information on the legally compliant mechanisms we use to transfer data outside of the EEA please contact us (see the “Contacting the Website” section below).
