CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our privacy policy.

Customer Privacy Policy

Please read the policy carefully as it applies to the products and services we provide you (such as supply of our beers), passing your details on to our financial accountancy provider and facilitating payments. It applies to our customers, consumers, sole traders, suppliers and partnership customers but doesn’t apply to the information we hold about companies or organisations.

It also applies even if you’re not one of our customers and you interact with us, such as by:

requesting supply price details
attending a Brewery Tour
taking part in a survey or trial
entering a prize promotion or competition
calling our Brewery head office
generally enquiring about our services

If you need to give us personal information about someone else in relation to our products and services, the privacy policy will also apply. And if we need the permission of the other person to use that information, we’ll ask you first to check that they are OK with this.

Accessing and updating how we use your information

We will update this from time to time and when further changes come into effect after 25^th May 2018.

We want to make sure that any personal information we hold about you is up to date. So if you think your personal information is inaccurate, you can ask us to correct or remove it at no charge to you. Please contact our Customer Services team stating that you have a GDPR enquiry on 01282 422864 to do this or email info@moorhouses.co.uk with the words ‘GDPR Enquiry’ in the subject title stating exactly what you need us to do.

Under the Data Protection Act 1998 and GDPR Regulations effective 25^th May 2018, you have a right to know what personal information we hold about you. If you’d like a copy of the information you are entitled to then please write to The Disclosure Team, Moorhouse’s Brewery, 250 Accrington Road, Burnley BB11 5EN, clearly identifying yourself and the information you require. We will ask you to provide identification to ensure we do not disclose your information to the wrong people.

You can always tell us that you do not wish to receive direct marketing communications from Moorhouse’s Brewery. But remember, if you do not want us to get in touch, you may miss out on price offers, exciting offers and news about our latest beers. If you would prefer not to receive direct marketing communications from us, simply let us know at any time by contacting us as on 01282 422864 or by following the opt-out instructions in the relevant communication. Please note that this will not stop you from receiving phone calls from us as part of our customer relationship we have with you.

Please note that it may take up to 5 working days to process your opt-out request.

What kinds of personal information do we collect and how do we use it?

The personal information we collect depends on the products and services you have bought from us or intend to buy from us. An explanation of the different ways we use your personal information is below.

To provide you with products and services

We’ll use your personal information to provide you with products and services. This applies when you ask for or buy a product or service from us. Or if you register for an online account with us.

To undertake this, this means we will:

record details about the products and services you use or order from us
send you product or service-information messages (we may send you messages or call you to confirm your order and tell you about any changes that might affect your service, like a delay to the delivery vehicle)
update you on when we’ll deliver our products
let you create and log in to any online accounts we create for you
invoice you, charge you, send you a statement and make sure your payment reaches us
give information to someone else (if we need to for the product or service you’ve ordered, such as an installation of beer dispense equipment) or to another supplier if you’re buying some products from them and us (if we do this, we still control your personal information and we have strict controls in place to make sure it’s properly protected)

We use the following to provide products and services and manage your account:

Your contact details and other information to confirm your identity and your communications with us. This includes your name, gender, address, phone number, date of birth, email address.
Your payment and financial information.
Your communications with us, including emails, text messages and phone calls.
We use this information to carry out our contract (or to prepare a contract) and provide products or services to you. If you don’t give us the correct information or ask us to delete it, we might not be able to provide you with the product or service you ordered from us.

If you tell us you have a disability or otherwise need support, we’ll note that you are a vulnerable customer, but only if you give your permission or if we have to for legal or regulatory reasons. For example, if you told us about a disability we need to be aware of when we deliver our services to you, we have to record that information so we don’t repeatedly ask you about it.

Because it is in our interests as a business to use your information

We’ll use your personal information if we consider it is in our legitimate business interests so that we can operate as an efficient and effective business. We use your information to:

identify, and let you know about, products and services that interest you
share within Moorhouse’s Brewery and it’s Management accountancy provider for administrative purposes
create aggregated and anonymised information for further use
detect and prevent fraud; and
secure and protect our network

To market to you and to identify products and services that interest you

We’ll use your personal information to send you direct marketing and to better identify products and services that interest you. We do that if you’re one of our customers or if you’ve been in touch with us another way (such as speaking to one of our sales personnel or head office staff).

This means we’ll:

create a profile about you to better understand you as a customer and tailor the communications we send you (including our marketing messages);
tell you about other products and services you might be interested in;
recommend better ways to manage what you spend with us, like suggesting a new product or promotional deal;
try to identify products and services you’re interested in; and

We use the following for marketing and to identify the products and services you’re interested in:

Your contact details. This includes your name, gender, address, phone number and email address
Your payment and financial information
Details of the products and services you’ve bought and the frequency

We’ll send you information (about the products and services we provide) by phone, post, email, text message, online banner advertising. We also use the information we have about you to personalise these messages wherever we can as we believe it is important to make them relevant to you. We do this because we have a legitimate business interest in keeping you up to date with our products and services, making them relevant to you and making sure you manage your spending with us. We also check that you are happy for us to send you marketing messages by text or email before we do so. In each message we send, you also have the option to opt out.

We’ll only market other organisations’ products and services if you have said it is OK for us to do so.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing information or withdraw your permission at any time, as set out in the ‘How to contact us and further details’ section below.

To run credit and fraud prevention checks

Before we provide you with a product or service we may pass on the personal information you have given us to a credit reference agency (such as Experian). We may then use this information to manage our credit risk, and prevent and detect fraud and money laundering. We may also use these organisations to confirm your identity. When they get a search from us, a ‘footprint’ goes on your file which other organisations might see. They might also share the information with other organisations. We do this because it’s in our, and the organisations’, legitimate interests to prevent fraud and money laundering, understand our credit risk and to check identities, to protect our business and to keep to laws that apply to us.

Details of the personal information that will be used include your name, address, date of birth, contact details and financial information. If you don’t become one of our customers, we’ll still keep the result of our credits checks about you if we have a legal obligation and it’s in our legitimate interests to help prevent or detect fraud.

If you give us false or inaccurate information which we identify as fraudulent, we’ll pass that on to fraud prevention agencies. We might also share it with law enforcement agencies, as may the agencies we have shared the information with.

If we, a credit reference or fraud prevention agency, decide that you are a credit, fraud or money laundering risk, we may refuse to supply you with our products or services, or we may stop providing existing products to you.

The credit reference and fraud prevention agencies will keep a record of any fraud or money laundering risk and this may result in other organisations refusing to provide services, financing or employment to you. If you have any questions about this, please get in touch with us using the contact details found in the ‘How to contact us and further details’ section below.

We send credit reference and fraud prevention agencies information about applications, and they keep that information. There are different credit reference agencies in the UK (for example, Experian or Equifax). Each one might hold different information about you. If you want to find out what information they have on you, they may charge you a small fee.

To collect debt

If you don’t pay your bills, we might ask a debt-recovery agency to collect what you owe. We’ll give them information about you (such as your contact details) and your account (the amount of the debt) and may choose to sell the debt to another organisation to allow us to receive the amount due.

To law enforcement agencies

Under investigatory powers legislation, we might have to share personal information about you to government and law-enforcement agencies, such as the police, to help detect and stop crime, prosecute offenders and protect national security.

They might ask for the following details:

Your contact details, this includes your name, gender, address, phone number, date of birth, email address and credentials needed to confirm your identity and your communications with us.
Your communications with us, such as calls, emails and text messages
Your payment and financial information
Details of the products and services you’ve bought

The balance between privacy and investigatory powers is challenging. We share your personal information when the law says we have to, but we have strong oversight of what we do and get expert advice to make sure we’re doing the right thing to protect your right to privacy.

We’ll also share personal information about you where we have to legally share it with another person. That might be when a law says we have to share that information or because of a court order.

In limited circumstances, we may also share your information with other public authorities, even if we do not have to. However, we would need to be satisfied that a request for information is lawful and proportionate (in other words, appropriate to the request). And we would need appropriate assurances about security and how the information is used and how long it is kept.

Protecting your information and how long we keep it

How do we protect your personal information?

We have strict security measures to protect your personal information. We check your identity when you get in touch with us, and we follow our security procedures and apply suitable technical measures, such as encryption, to protect your information.

How long do we keep your personal information?

We’ll keep:

a summary copy of your invoices for 5 years from the date of the invoice
a summary copy of your payments for 5 years from the date of the payment
your contact details on file while you’re one of our customers, and for five years after; and
details relating to any dispute for six years after it was closed

In other cases we’ll store personal information for the periods needed for the purposes for which the information was collected or for which it is to be further processed. And sometimes we’ll keep it for longer if we need to by law. Otherwise we delete it.
