Third-party sources of data/data sharing:
We also collect from and share data with the following providers:
- Essential Service Providers: Sometimes, other businesses give us data about you which we may need for our legitimate interests of conducting business with you and on occasion they are necessary to perform our contract with you. It usually comprises Financial Data or Transaction Data. This happens when we link through to third party payment providers. They tell us that you have paid for your products and, where relevant and/or necessary they will provide us with your Contact Data and Transaction Data. We also might engage third party contractors to provide us with technical or delivery services that are related to your account with us.

How we use your personal data
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you – this typically is when a purchase has been made on our website or we send you a piece of marketing material.
Marketing
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.
We generally only send email marketing to people who have previously bought similar products from us and this is in our legitimate interests. We will always offer a way out of receiving this marketing using an unsubscribe link in every marketing communication.
Where you have not previously bought from us but have registered your details with us (for example by signing up for a newsletter or entering a competition), we will only send you marketing communications if you opted into receiving marketing at the time and so given us your express consent (which you may withdraw at any time).
We may also share certain data with third party social media platforms in order to show you targeted ads when you visit them.
Opting out
We respect your right to have data removed from our records. You can ask us to stop sending you marketing communications at any time by emailing us at hello@loveli.co.uk or by following the opt-out links on any marketing email sent to you.
Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product purchase, or related correspondence, and we will continue to process such data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and only ever as permitted by law.
Disclosures of your personal data
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law and they may only use your data for the purposes we specify in our contract with them. We will always work with them to protect your privacy.
Data security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
You acknowledge that the Internet is not a completely secure medium for communication and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you send to us (or we send to you) via the Internet. We are not responsible for any damages which you, or others, may suffer as a result of the loss of confidentiality of such information.
Data retention
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.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. For example, details of your orders will be kept for as long as we need to retain that data to comply with our accounting requirements. This is generally 7 years unless the law prescribes a longer period.
Your legal rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under UK data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:
Request access to your personal. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you.
Request that your personal data be deleted.
