2. Lawful basis

We use your personal information to provide our products and services. Some are essential for us to provide the services you use or to fulfil our legal obligations. Some help us run our business efficiently and effectively. Some enable us to provide you with more relevant and personalised offers and information for example to set up and run your account, process orders and transactions, respond to queries and comments and provide you with the best possible level of customer service.

We may use it to contact you about orders you’ve placed or to contact you in emergency situations, such as an urgent product recall or where we have a duty of care to notify you of information that relates to your health.

In all cases we must have a reason and a legal ground for processing your personal information. Some of the most common legal grounds we rely on are briefly explained below.

Consent. You will be asked to confirm that you’re happy to provide your personal data and that you give permission to NATURA BISSÉ INTERNATIONAL LIMITED to process your personal data. Information relating to why we want your data, how it will be used and if your data will be shared, will be provided at the time of asking you for your consent. Where we are relying on consent you will usually see a tick box. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time if you no longer want to be part of the Natura Bissé® processing activity (See the ‘Withdrawing my Consent’ section below).

Contractual. Processing data for the purposes of a contract to which you are party to. There is a range of legal and regulatory requirements we and our parent company need to comply with, and some of these may affect the way we process personal data, or the length of time for which we are required to keep it.

Legal obligation. We will occasionally be under a legal obligation to obtain and disclose your personal data. Where possible we will notify you when processing your data due to a legal obligation, however this may not always be possible.

Legitimate interest. We holds personal data for our own legitimate business interest. This relates to us managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/products and most secure experience. When we rely on this, we carry out a legitimate interest assessment to ensure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws.

The legitimate business interests of Natura Bissé® do not automatically override your interests - we will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you, unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law.

By means of implementing the forms included in the different websites, related to services provided by us, Users accept the inclusion and processing of the data provided in a personal data processing, the data controller of which is Natura Bissé International Limited, and will be able to exercise the pertinent rights according to what is stated in the following clauses.

3. User commitment to have their data registered for processing

In any case, if the data provided in the corresponding forms were owned by a third party, the user takes responsibility for the correct collection of consent and information to the third party on the aspects stated in this legal notice and privacy policies.

4. User responsibility for use and content

4.1. To which recipients will your personal data be communicated?

Natura Bissé will not carry out transfers of your Personal Data except subsidiaries of Natura Bissé International Limited (Natura Bissé International, S.A.). Whenever any type of transfer of personal data is carried out, the express, informed, and unequivocal consent of Users will be requested beforehand. All data requested through the website are mandatory, as they are required for the provision of optimal service to the User. In case of not providing all data, no guarantee is given that the information and services provided will be completely according to your needs.

However, we may disclose your personal information to third parties if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in compliance with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply any agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the organisation, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of safeguarding or other statutory regulations with which we must comply.

On the same way, we use data processors who are third parties who provide elements of services for us. We have contracts in place with our data processors. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will not share your personal information with any organization apart from us. They will hold it securely and retain it for the period we instruct.

We do not sell, rent, or transfer the personal data of Users of these websites, except where necessary for the provision of the service itself.

The Website has links, applications and functionalities shared with third parties, such as social networks or on-line communication systems. Natura Bissé International Limited takes no responsibility for the information collected in such applications, functionalities or social networks owned by third parties as it has no management capacity or control over them, the legal notices and privacy policies that may appear on websites or similar third parties being therefore applicable. We encourage you to read the privacy notices on the other websites you visit.

4.2. How long do we keep your personal data for?

We retain your personal data in a live environment for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose(s) for which it was collected (including as required by applicable law or regulation, typically 7+ years).

Where there is a need, personal data is securely archived with restricted access and other appropriate safeguards where there is a need to continue to retain it.

We will anonymise or delete personal data if, after a period of seven years, we have not had any contact or communication from you (this will be measured on a rolling seven-year period) – subject to special circumstances concerning legacies.

We maintain data retention criteria to help implement this. This takes account of our legal and accounting obligations, balancing this with what would be considered reasonable.

Personal data will be retained if the user does not state otherwise and for the legally established retention periods, unless for logical and obvious reasons the data have lost their usefulness or legitimate purpose for which they were collected.

Data retention criteria: your personal data shall be retained by us for as long as there is a mutual interest in maintaining the purpose of the processing and when they are no longer required for that purpose, they shall be deleted with appropriate security measures to ensure the data’s anonymisation or its total destruction.
