How we share your data with other people and organisations: 
We may provide access to your personal data to our employees, contractors and agents. Where we supply personal data to our own employees, contractors and agents, this will be for the performance of their duties or contractual responsibilities to us and to be used only in a manner which isn’t incompatible with the purposes for which we obtained it. 
Where we supply other people and organisations with personal data for purposes other than their processing this data for us according to our instructions, we will consider (where allowed by law or our duties to the courts and our clients) the security and privacy of that data in the hands of the recipient.  However, we won’t be responsible for the security and privacy of data held by third parties where we don’t control their policies and practices.    
We may share personal data with other people and organisations for these reasons:- 
  • To enforce and protect our own legal rights or those of our customers and other persons (including by supplying information to our insurers);
  • If we’re required to by law;
  • Maintaining and improving our website, including the use of web analytics and search engine optimisation;
  • To get our customers’ feedback on our work; or
  • To market and promote our services.
We use MailChimp for administration of mailing lists in order to send you relevant information about our services. If you are on our mailing list this may result in your contact information being held or transferred to servers outside the UK as they are based in the USA. We understand there are appropriate safeguards in place. Further information can be found in their Privacy Policy.
We do not otherwise transfer your personal data outside the UK.
Your rights to object to direct marketing:
Like other businesses, we will sometimes use your personal data to provide you with information about the services we offer, and other topics we think might interest our customers and business contacts.  
We appreciate that you may decide that you don’t want us to use your personal data in this way and we will respect that choice.  We also have a legal obligation under the DPA and UK GDPR to stop sending you marketing communications if you object, so if you don’t want us to use your personal data in this way, just let us know.  We suggest sending an e-mail to us at botanics@crabshakk.com or writing to us care of:
The Data Protection Officer,
Crabshakk Botanics

We’ll give you the opportunity to opt out of future marketing whenever we send you marketing material.
Your rights in the personal data we process: 
Under the DPA, you have the following rights in relation to your own personal data:
  • To prevent us using your data for direct marketing;
  • To have (in certain circumstances) inaccurate personal data corrected, blocked or destroyed;
  • To access a copy of the information comprised in your personal data that is undergoing processing (“subject access rights”);
  • To object to automated decisions (Crabshakk do not, however, use automated decision making);
  • To obtain compensation through legal proceedings for damage caused by a breach of the DPA; and
  • A right to object to processing that is likely to cause or is causing damage or distress.
If you want to (1) tell us to stop using your data for direct marketing; (2) exercise your subject access rights; (3) tell us about inaccurate personal data you think we hold on you; or (4) object to a use you believe we’re making of your data which is causing, or is likely to cause, damage or distress, please contact Crabshakk’s Data Protection Officer (as per the contact details above).
We will not charge you to exercise your subject access rights, but may make charge a reasonable fee reflecting our administrative costs should you request further copies of the personal data.  When you contact us to exercise any of the above rights, we will first ensure that the person requesting the data is the person whose data is being sought (or that it is being requested on that person’s behalf).  This may involve providing us with proof of your identity or your authority to act for the data subject.  We can also ask you for any information we need to help us find the personal data you’re enquiring about.
We will also provide you with the following information relating to your personal data:
  • The purpose for which we’re processing it;
  • What categories of data about you we process;
  • The recipients of your data, if any, including specifically international or foreign organisations;

  • Your rights in relation to the data; and
  • The source of the data, if we didn’t get it from you.
