How and why do we use your information?
We may use the information we collect from you in the following ways:
- To improve our website – We will also process your personal data in order to provide you with a more effective user experience (such as by displaying goods we believe you will be interested in, based on your purchase history and browsing habits). This processing means that your experience of our site will be more tailored to you, and that the products you see on our site may differ from someone accessing the same site with a different purchase history or browsing habits. We also use various cookies to help us improve our site (more details are set out below), and share your personal data with third party analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site. We will also process your personal data for the purposes of making our site more secure, and to administer our site and for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, statistical and survey purposes. The legal basis on which we process your data in these circumstances is our legitimate interest to provide you with the best customer experience we can, and to ensure that our site is kept secure. The use of non-essential cookies is subject to your consent. You can also prevent us from using your personal data in this way by contacting us at enquiries@brennanco.ie, or by using the ‘do not track’ functionality in your internet browser. If you enable such do not track functionality, our site may be less tailored to your needs and preferences.
- To fulfil orders – We will also process your personal data in order to fulfil any orders which you may place on our website. The legal basis for which we process your personal data in these circumstances is that the processing is necessary for the performance of the contract with you.
- To communicate & interact directly with you – We may also process your personal data in order to provide various supporting customer services to you (such as where you contact us with a question in connection with a product). The legal basis on which we process your personal data in these circumstances is your consent. If you do not provide us with the personal data we request from you for customer services purposes, we may not be able to fully answer your queries.
- For marketing purposes – Where you have opted in via our site to receive marketing communications from us, we will process your personal data to provide you with marketing communications in line with the preferences you have provided. The legal basis on which we process your personal data is your consent. You are not under any obligation to provide us with your personal data for marketing purposes, and you can withdraw your consent to your personal data being processed in this way at any time by contacting us at enquiries@brennanco.ie or, where relevant, by following the unsubscribe link in every marketing communication you receive from us.
- To improve what we know about our customers, and how to help them – We may analyse what you are interested in, with a view to helping other customers like you find products that will interest them. Your details will never be shared as part of this, but we may take a look at what people like you like to buy, so we can contact people who are similar to you with relevant messages.
What happens if our business is sold?
We will transfer your personal data to a third party:
- in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we will disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets (at all times in accordance with data protection legislation); or
- if Brennan & Company or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by Brennan & Company about its customers will be one of the assets transferred to the purchaser.
In each case, the legal basis on which we process your data in these circumstances is our legitimate interest to ensure our business can be continued by a purchaser. If you object to our use of your personal data in this way, the relevant seller or buyer of our business may not be able to provide services to you.
In certain circumstances we may also need to share your personal data if we are under a duty to disclose or share personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation.
