What we do with the information we gather
We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and for the following reasons:
1. To provide you with the service that you require from YOUR FORGOTTEN FIELDS e.g. providing goods and services. This includes sending correspondence such as quotes, invoices and gift vouchers by email and/or post. We use this data to send your items to you, which includes providing your information to third party companies such as Royal Mail and UPS, our courier of choice (or whoever we agree to send your parcels with). We also use your data to take payment for goods and services and this will require passing on your data to our payment providers.
2. Internal record keeping and record keeping for legal requirements e.g. invoice records kept for accounting purposes.
3. We may use the information to improve our products and services.
4. We may periodically send promotional email about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided. We will only do this if you have given explicit consent to be contacted in this way.
5. Any photographs that we do collect of your maps may be used on social media such as Facebook, twitter and Instagram to promote and inform the public about our business and the services that we provide. Photographs may also be used in newsletter, leaflets or posters, or on our website. We strive to ensure that no people are present on the photographs and consent will be sought before any photographs are used for these purposes.
How long we retain your data
We will keep all personal data safely and only hold it for as long as necessary, usually up to 6 years for tax and legal reasons. However, some data e.g. previous purchase history, may be kept longer than this for legitimate interest purposes e.g. so that we can help you overcome any problems with previously purchased products. Your personal data will be destroyed securely when no longer required.
