Find out more about the use of cookies on www.allaboutcookies.org.

We also use other forms of technology which serve a similar purpose to cookies and which allow us to monitor and improve our website. When we talk about cookies, this term includes these similar technologies.

What cookies do we use and what information do they collect?

Required cookies: these cookies are required to enable core functionality. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like identifying you while you are logged in, cannot be provided. If you disable these cookies certain parts of the website will not function for you.

5. How we share your personal data

We will share your data with social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter and/or analytics and marketing companies such as Google for analytics and retargeting purposes.

Personal data will also be shared with third party service providers, who will process it on our behalf for the purposes identified above. In particular, we use third party providers to power our online shop, in particular Shopify, as well as providers of website hosting, maintenance and payment services. Details on Shopify’s use of your data and its sub-processors can be found at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy/customers.

In the event that GIANTX is sold or integrated with another business, your details may be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchaser's adviser and will be passed to the new owners of the business.

In the event that personal data is transferred outside of the UK or the EEA to an organisation in a country which is not subject to an adequacy decision by the EU Commission or considered adequate as determined by applicable data protection laws, we will take steps to ensure your personal information is adequately protected (e.g. by way EU Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses or a vendor's Processor Binding Corporate Rules or by relying on such other data transfer mechanisms as available under applicable data protection laws). A copy of the relevant mechanism can be obtained for your review on request by using the contact details below.

6. Your choices and rights

You have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal data; to correct, delete or restrict processing of your personal data; and to obtain the personal data you provide in a structured, machine readable format. In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement).

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep. If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to complain to a data protection authority where you live, work or believe a breach has taken place. In the UK this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Data that is mandatory is indicated on relevant forms that you complete. Where provision of data is mandatory, if relevant data is not provided, then we will not be able to fulfil your requests to register, make a purchase or otherwise engage with GIANTX. All other provision of your information is optional.

7. How long we retain your personal data

Where we process personal data for marketing purposes or with your consent, we process the data until you ask us to stop and for a short period after this (to allow us to implement your requests). We also keep a record of the fact that you have asked us not to send you direct marketing or to process your data so that we can respect your request in future.

Where we process personal data for site security purposes, we retain it for up to 24 months.

Where we process personal data in connection with performing a contract such as when you make a purchase, we keep the data for 6 years from your last interaction with us.

8. Updates to this privacy notice

We reserve the right to update this privacy notice at any time, and we will provide you with a new privacy notice when we make any substantial updates. We may also notify you in other ways from time to time about the processing of your personal information.
