Smartlook is a technology service that helps us better understand our users experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback.

Smartlook stores this information in a pseudonymized user profile. Neither Smartlook nor we will ever use this information to identify individual users or to match it with further data on an individual user. For further details, please see Smartlook’s privacy policy.
- International transfers
Service Providers
We may transfer your personal data to service providers that carry out certain functions on our behalf. This may involve transferring personal data outside the UK to countries which have laws that do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK law.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK to service providers, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that the following safeguards are in place:
-
We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed by the UK to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; and/or
-
We may use specific standard contractual terms approved for use in the UK which give the transferred personal data the same protection as it has in the UK. To obtain a copy of these contractual safeguards, please contact us using contact details provided in this privacy policy.
- Your rights over your personal data
- Right to access your personal data
You have the right to access the personal data that we hold about you in many circumstances, by making a request. This is sometimes termed ‘Subject Access Request’. If we agree that we are obliged to provide personal data to you (or someone else on your behalf).
- Right to Correction of your personal data
If any of the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or out of date, you may ask us to correct it. • Right to stop or limit our processing of your personal data
You have the right to object to us processing your personal data if we are not entitled to use it anymore, to have your data deleted if we are keeping it too long or have its processing restricted in certain circumstances.
You may also have the right to object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your personal data. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your personal data which override your right to object.
- Right to object to direct marketing
You also have the absolute right to object any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
- Right to transfer
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- Right to withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
- Rights in relation to automated decision-making
You have the right to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing. Processing is “automated” where it is carried out without human intervention and where it produces legal effects or significantly affects you.
- For more information about your privacy rights
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) regulates data protection and privacy matters in the UK. They make a lot of information accessible to consumers on their website and they ensure that the registered details of all data controllers such as ourselves are available publicly.
You can make a complaint to the ICO at any time about the way we use your personal data. However, we hope that you would consider raising any issue or complaint you have with us first. Your satisfaction is extremely important to us, and we will always do our very best to solve any problems you may have.
If you would like to exercise any of these above rights, please contact us via the details listed at the very end of this policy.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
- How long we keep your personal data for
We retain a record of your personal data in order to provide you with a high quality and consistent service. We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
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, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
- Your data and Social Networks
When using our website, you may be able to share information through social networks like Facebook and X. For example, when you ‘like’, ‘share’ or review our services. When doing this, your personal data may be visible to the providers of those social networks and/or their other users. Please remember it is your responsibility to set appropriate privacy settings on your social network accounts, so you are comfortable with how your personal data is used and shared on them.
