Cookies

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site. For detailed information on the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them see our Cookie policy.

Interest-based ads
Fruugo.com Ltd displays interest-based advertising content on our owned or operated sites and on unaffiliated sites. Interest-based ads (also sometimes referred to as customised, tailored or targeted ads) are displayed to you on based on information collected from your activities, including but not limited to, browsing or purchasing products on or through our websites, mobile sites and applications or on third party websites, mobile sites and applications, or based on your responses to our marketing emails (collectively, the “Services”). For instance, you may see an advertisement on a Fruugo.com Ltd or third party site for products, based on information indicating your interest in similar products.


• Information collected: Pursuant to the terms of our Privacy Notice, the information collected and used for interest-based advertising may contain the following, without limitation: age, gender, device unique identity or other device identifiers and settings, information about your use of the Services or other Internet sites, information about advertisements or our marketing emails viewed by you (including as date and time viewed, number of views, the location and duration, and your response, if any).


• Third party technologies: Analytics tools and ad serving technologies may use server log files, web beacons, cookies, tracking pixels and other technologies to collect the information listed above. They may combine the information collected through Fruugo.com Ltd products and Services with (a) information collected from third party sites, products and services and/or (b) with demographic, advertisement, market and other analytics data. In addition, some of these technologies can sync or connect your behaviour across different websites, mobile apps and devices. We make our best efforts to provide you with (a) the list of third parties whose ad serving technologies are used in our Services, (b) links to these partners’ own privacy policies according to which their tools and technologies are used, and (c) when available, a link to allow you to opt-out from these partners’ services. You can opt out of some third-party technology’s use of cookies for interest-based advertising by visiting aboutads.info . Of course, please note that opting out does not mean you won’t see ads; it just means that the advertising you see may be less relevant to your interests. Standing alone, this information may not be personal information. However, if we combine any of this information with personal information to serve you interest-based advertising, then we will provide you an opportunity to choose whether or not to allow such merger, as further described in the Custom Content Section below.


• Custom content: We may, depending on your preferences, also combine your personal Information with the information you have independently provided third parties, in order to tailor advertisements for you on our Services and/or on third party sites.


• Do not track: Do Not Track (DNT) is a web browser setting that is currently under development. While we may adopt a DNT standard if a universal standard is established, in the meantime we adhere to the standards set out in this policy and our Privacy Notice.

Who we share your personal data with

We may share your personal information with any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006.


We may share your information with selected third parties including:
• Business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you.
• Advertisers and advertising networks that require the data to select and serve relevant adverts to you and others. We do not disclose information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers, but we may provide them with aggregate information about our users. We may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target. We may make use of the personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers’ wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience. When we share personal data with these companies we require them to keep it safe, and they must not use your personal data for their own marketing purposes.
• Analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site.
• Credit reference agencies for the purpose of assessing your credit score where this is a condition of us entering into a contract with you.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties:
• In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets. If the transfer or sale goes ahead, the organisation receiving your personal data can use your data in the same way as us.
• If Fruugo.com Ltd or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets. If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use or terms and conditions of supply and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Fruugo.com Ltd, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

How we protect your personal information
We are committed to ensuring that your personal data is kept secure. In order to protect the information you provide to our website from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification, unlawful destruction or accidental loss, we have put in place appropriate technical, physical and managerial procedures. All employees and any third parties we engage to process your information are obliged to respect the confidentiality of your personal data.

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at, a destination inside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating inside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. We do not store payment or credit card details nor do we share customer details with any third parties other than for the purposes previously described.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet can never be completely secure. Although we will always do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Access to information
The DP legislation gives you the right to access information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the DP legislation. Contact dpo @fruugo.com.

Your rights
You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at dpo @fruugo.com.


Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. Please read below to find out more about these rights:


Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.


Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.


Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, 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.


Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.


Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

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.

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.


If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us. Contact dpo @fruugo.com.
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 may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

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.

We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may 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.
