  • 5. To ensure the security and safe operation of our websites and underlying business infrastructure.
  • 6. To manage any communication between you and us.

The table in section 5 below provides more detail about the data that we collect for each of these purposes, the lawful basis for doing so, and the period for which we will retain each type of data.

This enables us to focus our marketing to your needs, leading to more relevant emails to our subscribers. It also helps us to identify subscribers that are not engaged with our marketing emails, enabling us to remove them from our send lists.

Cookies are text files placed on your computer to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information. When you visit our websites, we may collect information from you automatically through cookies or similar technology.

For further information, visit allaboutcookies.org.

How do we use cookies?

Our Company uses cookies in a range of ways to improve your experience on our website, including:

  • Keeping you signed in

What types of cookies do we use?

There are a number of different types of cookies, however, our website uses:

  • 5. Lawful basis for the processing of personal data

The table below describes the forms of personal data we collect and the lawful basis for processing this data. The organization of our business architecture, accounting and systems infrastructure and compliance means that all personal data is processed on common, group-wide platforms. We have processes in place to make sure that only those people in our organization who need to access your data can do so. A number of data elements are collected for multiple purposes, as the table below shows. Some data may be shared with third parties; where this happens, this is also identified below.

When we process on the lawful basis of legitimate interest, we apply the following tests to determine whether it is appropriate:

The purpose test – is there a legitimate interest behind the processing?

Necessity test – is the processing necessary for that purpose?

Balancing test – is the legitimate interest overridden, or not, by the individual’s interests, rights or freedoms?

  • 6. Storage of personal data

Lost Returns, Inc. is a US-domiciled organization whose primary offices are in the US.

  • Most of our websites and web applications are hosted in the US and are administratively accessed only by our US-based staff. Customer facing software and applications where a User is provided a Login (username and password) are responsible for strict adherence to our Terms Of Service and any individual and/or entity is responsible for its use.
  • Our websites, as identified in section 3 above, are targeted at US, UK, Ireland and Scotland are accessed by staff located in the US. Our main website is hosted in the US. In instances where this is not the case, we have appropriate contractual and security measures in place to ensure that personal data is protected.
  • Our customer relationship management, marketing and accounting systems are either US-based or, in cases where this is not true, data transfers are made in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation or “EU GDPR”) and may be based on the use of the European Commission’s Standard Contract Clauses for transfers of personal data outside the EEA.
  • We use a wide range of CSPs (Cloud service providers) as part of our processing environment. Unless we specifically state otherwise, we are, in respect of all these CSPs, the data controller.
  • Unless we specifically state otherwise, all the CSPs that we use utilize US processing facilities.
  • Our payment processors and banking arrangements are based in the US.
  • We ship and deliver physical products around the world; we therefore use logistics companies that are based outside the US and operate in other countries. We have appropriate legal and security relationships with those partners.
  • We resell products supplied by organizations outside the US. This may mean that our resale partners will have access to information about data subjects who purchase their products.
  • We operate a data retention policy in respect of all data, whether paper-based or digital, and those aspects of it that relate to personal data are contained in the table in section 5 above.

 

  • 7. Security measures

Our ISMS (information security management system) is secured using Secure Socket Layer 256 bit encryption and all our payment card processing is in compliance with the PCI DSS.

We have what we believe are appropriate security controls in place to protect personal data. Risk assessment, including assessing risks to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, is at the heart of our ISMS. We do not, however, have any control over what happens between your device and the boundary of our information infrastructure. You should be aware of the many information security risks that exist and take appropriate steps to safeguard your own information. We accept no liability in respect of breaches that occur beyond our sphere of control.

 

  • 8. Your rights as a data subject

  • The right to rectification
    When you believe we hold inaccurate or incomplete personal information about you, you may exercise your right to correct or complete this data. This may be used with the right to restrict processing to make sure that incorrect/incomplete information is not processed until it is corrected.
  • The right to erasure (the ‘right to be forgotten’)

  • The right to restrict processing

  1. a) The accuracy of the personal data is contested.
    b) Processing of the personal data is unlawful.
    c) We no longer need the personal data for processing, but the personal data is required for part of a legal process.

    You have the right to object to our processing of your data where:
    • Processing is based on legitimate interest;
