You can contact us at any time at hello@cannaray.co.uk if you have any questions about how we collect, store or use your personal data, or about this Privacy Notice in general.

How do we collect your personal data?

We collect your personal data directly from you when:

  • you use our website;
  • you contact us by email, telephone and through other written and verbal communications; and
  • you request information about our services or subscribe to a newsletter.

As well as obtaining personal data directly from you, we can also collect your personal data indirectly from publicly available sources such as internet search engines like Google, Companies House and social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn.

What information do we collect and what do we do with it?
Our purposes:
We collect your personal data for a number of different purposes, such as:

  • for administrative and business purposes (particularly to contact you and process orders you place on our website);
  • to improve our business and website;
  • for promotional and marketing purposes;
  • for customer insight, market research and other analytical purposes;
  • in connection with our legal rights and obligations; and
  • for certain additional purposes only with your explicit consent.

For each purpose we must have a legal justification for such processing. Generally we rely on the following legal justifications when we process your personal data:

  • You giving consent to your personal data being processed by us for one or more specific purposes; or
  • The data processing is necessary for performing a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract; or
  • Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Cannaray or by a third party (except where such interests are overridden by your fundamental rights or freedoms which require protection of your personal data). We rely on legitimate interests to perform our functions, for example: to ensure that the website is functioning correctly.

When relying on legitimate interests for processing your personal data we will balance the legitimate interest pursued by us and any relevant third party with your interests and rights in relation to the protection of your personal data to ensure its appropriate for us to rely on such legitimate interest and to identify any additional steps we need to take to achieve the right balance.

Information we collect:

Your personal data
When you sign up to hear from Cannaray, we will collect your email address and/or your mobile phone number. We use this information to contact you regarding promotional opportunities and news about Cannaray. If you remain subscribed, we will also contact you regarding future Cannaray promotions, educational articles and exclusive access to product launches. We treat all your personal data as strictly confidential. This information is stored within a secure and protected database. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time and if you do, we will no longer contact you.

Your user information
When you browse this website, we also receive information about how you are accessing our website – for example part of your IP address, geographical location, the pages you visit and your browser type. We make sure that this information is not personally identifiable, and use it only to learn about wider consumer behaviour and to improve this website and our services in order to offer a better user experience.

We may also use this information to create lookalike audiences so that we can advertise the website via third party platforms so as to reach new potential customers that we think may also like Cannaray products. This is always to a broad group and never a single, specific user.

Information for your marketing emails
Your email address is requested when you sign up. Your email is solely used to send you communication about Cannaray, marketing and exclusive promotions. We only ever segment customer data to provide relevant and enhanced marketing messages. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Social media
From time to time, we may also advertise on social platforms such as, but not exclusive to, Facebook and Instagram. The adverts we create on these platforms are never directed at specific, identifiable individuals but are shown to groups of people according to their interests, shopping behaviours or on-Facebook activity. These data sets are made up of 1000+ individuals with shared characteristics. You can update your social media privacy settings within those social platforms in order to further limit any marketing you may be seeing.

Marketing
We will always ask you directly for your explicit consent should you want to opt in to receive marketing emails or SMS messaging from Cannaray via a tick box or a sign up form.
Should you opt-in and then change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for email via the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any of our emails and for SMS by texting us 'STOP' at any time. Alternatively, you may contact us at hello@cannaray.co.uk and request to be unsubscribed. Please note it may take up to 2 working days to stop receiving marketing messaging.

Who do we share personal data with?
We will only disclose your personal data to third parties to the extent necessary to run our business, to fulfil any contracts we enter into with you and where we are required by law to do so or to enforce our legal rights.

Third parties we may disclose your personal data to are:

  • Our trusted service providers, such as marketing agencies, advertising partners, website hosts, payment providers and other third parties who provide services to help us to tailor our marketing to you [as well as companies approved by you, such as social media sites, including companies such as Google and Facebook.]
  • Other reputable third party companies for the sole purpose of processing the send-out of a complimentary sample. These may include our warehouse, IT suppliers, payment gateways, our customer management system and our courier or shipping companies.
  • When you sign up to our emails, your personal data is also stored via our third party partners such as Kick off Labs and Klaviyo.

These third parties ensure the lawful and correct adherence to any contract we may enter into with you (this includes, but is not limited to operations, order delivery, payment services, shipments, and fraud investigations).

We may disclose your personal data to the police or other regulatory bodies if we are required to do so, for example in case of suspected illegal activity, violation of our Terms of Service or if the law so requires.

We may also share aggregate, non-specific information with selected third parties. However we absolutely do not disclose any information that can be deemed identifiable to you specifically. This includes analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our website such as Google Analytics.
