4. How we use your personal data

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:

Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.

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.

Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

In relation to any processing activity we will, before the processing starts for the first time, and then regularly while it continues:

review the purposes of the particular processing activity, and select the most appropriate lawful basis (or bases) for that processing, i.e.:

  • a. you have consented to the processing;

  • b. that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract;

  • c. that the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject;

  • d. that the processing is necessary for the protection of your vital interests or another natural persons; or

  • e. that the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or a third party, except where those interests are overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms

except where the processing is based on consent, satisfy ourselves that the processing is necessary for the purpose of the relevant lawful basis (i.e. that there is no other reasonable way to achieve that purpose);

document our decision as to which lawful basis applies, to help demonstrate our compliance with the data protection principles; and

include information about both the purposes of the processing and the lawful basis for it in our relevant privacy notice(s).

When determining whether our legitimate interests are the most appropriate basis for lawful processing, we will:

  • conduct a Legitimate Interests Assessment (LIA) and keep a record of it, to ensure that we can justify our decision;

  • if the LIA identifies a significant privacy impact, consider whether we also need to conduct a data protection impact assessment (DPIA);

  • keep the LIA under review, and repeat it if circumstances change; and

  • include information about our legitimate interests in our relevant privacy notice(s).

Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us @ privacyofficer@fields.ie

PROMOTIONAL OFFERS FROM US

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, you have not opted into receiving that marketing material.

 

THIRD-PARTY MARKETING

A third party is here defined as any external brand / business / company / group / service etc. that Fields the Jewellers works in conjunction with to deliver our offering and brand proposition to you.

These relevant third parties include the following as explained in this statement:

  • Companies that are within the Anthony Nicholas group – (this is because different departments and sections of our overall company structure and hierarchy are responsible for different activities that affect and contribute to your experience with Fields the Jewellers).

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

7.DATA SECURITY

We have put in place necessary and appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

 

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

 

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

 

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

 

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

 

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
