Privacy Policy
Introduction
We know that you care about your personal data and how it is used, and we want you to trust that Aromon Ltd t/a Aromon Kids Furniture (“Aromon”) uses your personal data carefully. This Privacy Notice will help you understand what personal data is and what personal data we collect, why we collect it and what we do with it.
Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with our privacy practices and let us know if you have any questions by contacting our Information Management Officer (IMO) whose details are stated below.
What Is An IMO?
We have a designated person who is responsible for our data management. We call that person an Information Management Officer or IMO. That is not a statutory role. There is a formal obligation to have a Data Protection Officer or DPO in certain circumstances, but we do not meet those circumstances. Therefore, the first point of contact for any concerns you have in relation to your data for whatever reason is our IMO.

Your Duty To Inform Us Of Changes
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.
If You Are Unable To Provide Personal Data
Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with legal advice). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
Our Role As Data Controller
When we at Aromon make all the decisions about how your data is processed, we are acting as the data controller. However, when we are processing your personal data on behalf of a third party in accordance with their strict instructions, we are acting as a data processor. This privacy notice complies with our obligations to provide you with information as a data controller.
What Is Data?
In this document, we adopt the same definitions as the GDPR, in particular:
Personal data ‘means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural personal (“data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person’.
How Do We Collect Your Data?

Third parties or publicly available sources. We may receive personal data about you from various third parties and public sources.
Identity and Contact Data from publicly available sources such as the Electoral Register based inside the UK and the EU.
Where we obtain personal data from third party suppliers, we always ensure that these suppliers are bound to respect data protection laws and your privacy rights pursuant to their contract with us.

At Aromon we try to be transparent in our dealing with you at all times and sending you this notice is an example of that. In any event, we are obliged to provide you with the information contained in this notice so that you are aware of certain information about what we do with your data and further, what your rights are in relation to that data.
What Do We Need To Tell You?
We are legal obliged to inform you of the following information relating to the data we hold on your behalf on you that we have collected from you. If you do not understand any of the concepts used in this notice or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact our IMO whose details are stated above.
The purposes of the processing:
We may need to use some information about you to:
a) deliver the services and support to you that you have requested from us;
b) manage those services we provide to you;
c) train and manage the employment of our staff who deliver those services to you;
d) help investigate any complaints you have about the services we provide to you
e) keep track of the amount of money you have paid to us;
f) check the quality of the services that we provide to you; and
g) to help with research and planning of new services.
We will only use your personal data when legally permitted and:
a) Where we need to perform the contract between us.
b) Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
c) Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
Where we send you marketing material we rely on your consent as a legal ground for processing your personal data. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by emailing us at hello@aromon.com or by clicking on the resource links in the material itself where applicable.
The categories of personal data concerned
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you. The type of data we collect about you depends on your relationship with us. For example, if you are a customer, if you are a visitor to our website or a subscriber to our services. In all cases, we have grouped together the different kinds of data we may or are likely to collect from you:
Profile Data which may include your full name, home or business address, your interests in our other services, preferences, feedback and survey responses.
Transaction Data which may include details about facts relevant to the services that we are providing to you such as an intended purchase and so on.
Technical Data which may include internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access our website.

Internal Staff. Our office based and remote working staff will have access to your data to provide you with the services and support for which you engage us. These staff are directly employed employees in the traditional sense of employees.
External “Staff”. We occasionally instruct other people who have the appearance of being directly employed by us as external consultants, for example sales and marketing consultants. They are prior to engagement required to sign our contract for services and are therefore always subject to our rigorous data management policies.
Third Party Service Providers. We regularly instruct third parties to assist us where necessary to ensure that you get the best service as a customer. We use trusted third parties to optimise our services to you such as mail handling companies, marketing management software providers, external tax advisors, external book keepers , accountants and our banking partners who are better able to provide technical competences to Aromon without the cost of employing those services full time.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
The envisaged period for which your personal data will be stored and why;
We expect to retain your data in both electronic format and/or hard copy format for a period not exceeding 7 years. Under Money Laundering Regulations and the Proceeds of Crime Act we are obliged to retain certain information for 5 years.
What Are Your Other Rights?

The right to erasure
The right to erasure (often referred to as the right to be forgotten) enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. Please note that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

The right to object

Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling.
