How we use cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are necessary in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies may be used for many different purposes. In the first place, cookies can be required to make the website function properly. For example, without cookies, it would be difficult to make a website remember that you have logged in or visited the website before. These are called necessary cookies.

Cookies are also use to enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in. These cookies are called preference cookies.

Thirdly, cookies can also be used to analyse how a website is used, e.g. to count the number of visitors, or to learn how the website may be improved. All tracking data and website usage are stored anonymously and cannot be linked back to individual website visitors. These cookies are called statistical cookies.

A fourth important use of cookies is to enable online advertising, which may be personalised to show ads that are more relevant and interesting to you. This is done by (targeted) marketing cookies.

When you first log on to our website, you are able to tailor your cookie consent. Should you wish to amend your consent profile, clear us from your cookie history and revisit us again to tailor your cookie profile. Unless you have set your browser to block cookies completely, or tailored the cookie profile, this website will utilise the cookies listed under ‘Cookies we use’ on your computer.

Modern web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org.

• the type of browser (Internet Explorer or Google Chrome) and operating system (Windows, Linux, macOS etc) that is used
• the device used, such as a mobile phone or tablet
• the date and time of visit
• the page(s) visited
• the address of the website from which is linked to saladcreative.com (this is commonly described as a referrer)

We only use this information above to review website and server performance.

Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

Controlling your personal information

You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways:

• whenever you are asked to fill in a form on the website, look for the box that you can click to indicate that you do not want the information to be used by anybody for direct marketing purposes
• if you have previously agreed to us using your personal information for direct marketing purposes, you may change your mind at any time by amending your preference on your online account or letting us know by email using [email protected] or our contact address in the ‘Getting In Touch’ information

We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so. We may use your personal information to send you promotional information about third parties which we think you may find interesting if you tell us that you wish this to happen.

You may request details of the personal information which we hold about you under the Data Protection Act 1998. In the first instance this data is usually provided free of charge. If you would like a copy of the information held on you please email us this request using [email protected] or our contact address in the ‘Getting In Touch’ information.

If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please write to or email us as soon as possible using [email protected] or our contact address in the ‘Getting In Touch’ information. We will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.

If you believe we have no legitimate need to continue holding your personal data, for example, when the purpose for which it was held has come to an end. Please write to or email us as soon as possible using [email protected] or our contact address in the ‘Getting In Touch’ information. We will promptly review the data we hold, the reason why it is held and advise you of the actions we have taken to comply with your request.

To protect the confidentiality of your information, we will ask you to verify your identity before proceeding with any request you make under this Privacy Notice. If you have authorised a third party to submit a request on your behalf, we will ask them to prove they have your permission to act.

Who we share your personal information with

We sometimes share your personal data with trusted third parties for legitimate purposes. Examples include: delivery of goods, for fraud management, to handle complaints or to help us personalise our offers to you. In these instances, we demand these organisations keep your data safe and protect your privacy:

We provide only the information they need to perform their specific services.

They may only use your data for the exact purposes we specify in our contract with them.

We work closely with them to ensure that your privacy is respected and protected at all times.

If we stop using their services, any of your data held by them will either be deleted or rendered anonymous.

Examples of the kind of third parties we work with are:

• Our payment processing companies who process payments on our behalf
• IT companies who support our website and other business systems.
• Operational companies such as delivery couriers.
• Direct marketing companies who help us manage our electronic communications with you.
Sharing your data with third parties for their own purposes:
We will only do this in very specific circumstances, for example:
• For fraud management, we may share information about fraudulent or potentially fraudulent activity in our premises or systems. This may include sharing data about individuals with law enforcement bodies.
• We may also be required to disclose your personal data to the police or other enforcement, regulatory or Government body, upon a valid request to do so. These requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and take the privacy of our customers into consideration.

We may, from time to time, expand, reduce or sell JG Foods Limited and this may involve the transfer of divisions or the whole business to new owners. If this happens, your personal data will, where relevant, be transferred to the new owner or controlling party, under the terms of this Privacy Notice.

Where your personal data may be processed

Sometimes we will need to share your personal data with third parties and suppliers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), such as Australia or the USA.

Protecting your data outside the EEA

The EEA includes all EU Member countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. We may transfer personal data that we collect from you to third-party data processors in countries that are outside the EEA. For example, this might be required in order to fulfil your order, process your payment details or provide support services.

If we do this, we have procedures in place to ensure your data receives the same protection as if it were being processed inside the EEA. For example, our contracts with third parties stipulate the standards they must follow at all times.
Any transfer of your personal data will follow applicable laws and we will treat the information under the guiding principles of this Privacy Notice.

Contacting the Regulator

If you feel that your data has not been handled correctly, or you are unhappy with our response to any requests you have made to us regarding the use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

You can contact them by calling 0303 123 1113 or go online to www.ico.org.uk/concerns opens in a new window; please note we can't be responsible for the content of third-party sites
