OUR COMPANY

Hello, we are Real Handful Ltd.  Our contact details are set out at the end of this policy.

We make nutritious snacks for busy households, and we operate a website at www.realhandful.com.

This privacy policy covers the use of our website and our business generally.  We are the controller in relation to the personal data processed in accordance with this policy (except where this policy explains otherwise).

We want you to know that your privacy and security is important to us. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that trust seriously. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes where and how we capture your Information and governs how we will deal with it.

THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE COLLECT PERSONAL DATA

We collect and process personal data as follows:

You are a customer of ours (or you work for a customer of ours) or if you have registered to receive our email communications on this website or elsewhere:

We may collect your individual contact information to enable us to communicate with you in relation to the provision of products by us (for example, in order to provide the relevant products) or to send you our email, and may collect other personal information relating to you that you give us in the course of communicating with us or of our providing the products concerned (for example, if you are buying our products personally, your credit card, bank account or other financial details and your address for delivery). We will use this information as appropriate to sell and supply you with our products and/or to send you emails or other information about our products.

If you browse any of our websites:

We may collect information on your visits to our website and how you move around different sections of our website for analytics purposes to understand how people use our website so that we can make it more intuitive. We may keep a record of the content on our website that you have clicked on and use that information to send you communications (if you have signed up to receive our email) or to target advertising on our website to you that is relevant to your interests and which we have identified based on content you have looked at. This may involve the use of cookies, which is explained in our cookie policy.

If you share any of our web pages on social media:

If you share any of our web pages on social media, we use a third party service to facilitate this, and this involves use of a cookie set by the third party which collects data relating to your use of our website and other websites that you visit, which is then used to target advertising to you that is relevant to your interests. More information on this is contained in our cookie policy.

If we wish to send you advertising, marketing or promotional material:

We may collect your individual contact details (such as your email address, your user ID on social media, or your postal address) in order to send you direct marketing material in order to advertise, market or promote our goods and services (this will be subject to your prior consent where appropriate, for example when you sign up to receive our email updates). We may combine this with other information we obtain about the things you are interested in and that are relevant to the products provided by us (for example, when you buy something from us or browse our website and view particular content, or if you tell us what you like) in order to help us ensure that the material that we send you is relevant to what you are interested in.

If you provide products or services (or you work for someone who supplies products or services) to us:

We may collect your individual contact information to enable us or other suppliers of ours to communicate with you in relation to the provision of products or services by you or the person that you work for (for example, in relation to the management and administration of the provision of the relevant goods or services) and other personal information relating to you to in the course of provision of the products or services concerned. Where you are providing the products or services personally, this may include, for example, your bank account or other financial details. We will also collect any ther information relating to you that is included in any communications between us and you or anyone you work with in the course of provision of the products or services.

If we are assessing your suitability or ability to provide products or services to us:

We may collect relevant personal information relating to you to the extent necessary to enable that assessment to take place – for example, if we need to assess or confirm your age, your right to work in the UK, your skills and previous experience, your qualifications or whether there is anything that would adversely affect your suitability or ability to provide the products or services concerned. This will be explained to you in more detail at the time we collect the personal data and, where appropriate, will be subject to your prior consent.

If you apply for a position with us:

We may collect personal information in relation to you in connection with any application by you for a position with us. In that case, we will explain in more detail at the time how and for what purposes we intend to process the relevant personal information.
