This Privacy Policy describes how Iaminweb (‘Iaminweb’) collects, uses and shares information about you. This policy applies to information we collect when you use our website or otherwise interact with us as described below. By continuing to use the website you are agreeing to the terms of this Policy.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this policy, and in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to the homepages of our websites or sending you an email notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

We are based in Spain and the information we collect is governed by Spanish law. For the purposes of the Spanish data protection act (“Ley Orgánica de Protección de Datos Personales y Garantía” or, “Organic Law on Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights”) passed in December of 2018,  Iaminweb is the data controller (as defined in the Act) of the personal data (as defined in the Act) which we collect from you or which you provide to us through the Barkmatic website. We guarantee to comply with the standards, procedures and requirements laid down in the Act to ensure that your personal data is kept secure and processed fairly and lawfully.

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"), although the data will always be held securely and in line with the requirements of Spanish data protection. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

We do not buy, sell, or share personal information.

 

Iaminweb’s use of personal information under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018

The EU General Data Protection Regulation on 25 May 2018 gives more rights to you as an individual and more obligations to organisations holding your personal data. 

Iaminweb carries out cross-border processing of personal data.  We are a Spanish based entity which means that the lead data protection supervisory authority is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos

 

Lawful basis for processing personal data

The lawful basis for Iaminweb to collect and use personal information relies on two grounds:

a) Iaminweb relies on consent as the lawful basis for processing personal data for marketing purposes, including email marketing.  Visitors to our website who sign up to receive Barkmatic newsletters and other occasional email communications from us, must give consent for us to hold their personal data (they have ‘subscribed’) in order for us to communicate with them (for example to promote our products, offer limited period discounts, or announce new products). This personal data is held in a newsletter database on our Magento platform and exported to MailChimp.  

Recording and managing consent: We keep a record of when and how we got consent to process personal data, and what an individual was told at the time. We aim to make it easy for individuals to withdraw their consent at any time, and we publicise how to do this.  We act on withdrawals of consent as soon as we can.

b) The lawful basis for processing personal data relating to people who order Barkmatic products from our online shop (“customers”) is the ground relating to contracts, Article 6(1)(b), which states that ‘Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract’.  

In simple terms, we need to hold certain information about you in order to fulfill our contract with you, by enabling ongoing communication during production, organising shipping, and tracking deliveries.

If you make an online purchase from the barkmatic.com website and during the process you open an account with us, you can later modify the personal data we hold on you by logging into your account.  If you checkout as a guest during an online purchase without opening an account, you cannot yourself later modify the data we hold on you.

Not all customers who have ordered goods from us online have chosen to subscribe to our newsletter.  As a result, we do not hold their personal details in our newsletter database, but only on our ecommerce platform Magento.

Retention periods for personal data

Personal information collected from people who sign up to receive Barkmatic newsletters and other marketing information will be kept by us for as long as it is useful to us, unless at some point after you have given us the personal data you then ask us to remove your personal data from our records, or we discover that your contact information is no longer accurate.

Personal data collected from customers in order to fulfil our sales contract will be retained only as long as necessary to conclude the transaction and subsequently to meet our legal obligations in relation to audit and income tax.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.  When deciding what the correct time is to keep the data for we look at its amount, nature and sensitivity, potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the processing purposes, if these can be achieved by other means and legal requirements. For tax purposes the law requires us to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they stop being customers. In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Rights available to individuals in respect of the processing of personal data

You have the right to withdraw your consent to our processing, use and retention of your personal data.  You have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing, use or retention of your personal data with the supervisory authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos
