The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679 supersedes the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive (European Directive 95/46/EC), strengthening the rights that EU individuals have over their data. This privacy policy sets out how Heart to Home gathers, uses, discloses and protects any information that you provide in order to comply with GDPR.
Personal data
Under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) personal data is defined as:
"any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data subject'); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person".
This privacy notice tells you how we, Heart to Home, will collect and use your personal data for sales and marketing purposes.
We collect a range of data including personal data fairly and lawfully. Personal data that we collect includes the following:
- Name

- Billing Address (where applicable)
- Telephone number(s)
We will retain the personal data we process on behalf of our customers for as long as needed to provide our services. Heart to Home will retain this personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
We take data protection extremely seriously and all data collected is stored securely.
How will Heart to Home use the personal data it collects about me?
Heart to Home will process the information you provide in a manner compatible with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will endeavour to keep your information accurate and up to date, and not keep it for longer than is necessary. Heart to Home is required to retain information in accordance with the law, such as information needed for income tax and audit purposes. How long certain kinds of personal data should be kept may also be governed by specific business-sector requirements and agreed practices. Personal data may be held in addition to these periods depending on individual business needs.
We hold and process personal data to enable us to perform the following functions:
- To confirm your identity and authenticate the information you provide
- To provide you with products and services you have requested
- To provide and improve customer support
- Maintain our accounts and records
- Promote our goods and services
- To let you know about significant changes to our products, services, terms or privacy policy

Will Heart to Home share my personal data with anyone else?
We pass your personal data on to third-party service providers contracted to Heart to Home for the purpose of the service we are providing you, such as delivery. We only share as much personal data as is required for the provision of those services and you will be informed if your personal data is passed to a third party, unless we are legally required to do otherwise. Any third parties that we may share your data with are obliged to keep your details securely and to use them only for the purpose that we provide them with in order to fulfil our service to you. When they no longer need your data to fulfil this service, they will dispose of the details in line with GDPR procedures as will we.
Personal data that we collect may be transferred to countries other than where you live, such as, for example, to servers in the United States. Your personal data may be transferred to countries that do not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. In such cases, we continue to protect the information with appropriate safeguards, but it may be subject to the legal jurisdiction of those countries and governmental authorities in those countries.
