Who we are

Lion Safety Limited collects, uses and is responsible for certain personal information about you. When we do so we are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union (including in the United Kingdom) and we are responsible as ‘controller’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws.

The personal information we collect and use

Personal information such as your name, contact details (including postal address, email address and telephone number(s)) and occupation when you:

  • Register on our website;
  • Contact us directly via our website, by email or by telephone to use our products or services;
  • Enter promotions, sweepstakes or complete organised within the Community and returned to us directly;
  • Personal information including bank details for direct debit payments and credit card information provided to us only through our secure pay website page.

Information collected from other sources
We also obtain personal information from other sources as follows:

How we use your personal information

We use your personal information to:

  • Provide you with products or services you have requested;
  • Provide you with ongoing information about Lion Safety Limited that we believe you may be interested in;
  • To provide you with information about related goods or services provided by others that we believe will be of interest to you;
  • To notify you about changes to our service.

Who we share your personal information with
We only share the relevant contact details of our customers with our third party courier partner to enable them to make contact with you to deliver your goods and services within an efficient and timely manner should this be required. Any courier partner that we share your details with will not retain any of your personal information after the delivery of your goods and services has been completed.

We will share personal information with law enforcement or other authorities if required by applicable law.

We will not share your personal information with any other third party.

Whether information has to be provided by you, and if so why
The provision of your personal information e.g. name and contact details is required to enable us to provide you with the goods and services that you have ordered from us or that you are interested in receiving information about. We will inform you at the point of collecting information from you, whether you are required to provide the information to us.

How long your personal information will be kept

  • We will hold personal information about our customers for 6 years from when we last supply you with goods or services.
  • We will hold contact details about our previous customers or potential customers only for so long as we reasonably consider that the information about products and services that we might provide to you is relevant to and of interest to you and we will delete your contact details if you ask us not to continue to send such information to you or at any time if we have reason to think that the information is out of date, and in any case no later than 6 years after you last contacted us.

Reasons we can collect and use your personal information

  • If we supply goods and services to you we rely on the fact that it is necessary for us to have and to use your personal information for the performance of our contract with you as the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal data;
  • If you are a customer or a previous customer to whom we send information about goods and services provided by us or by others that we think is of interest to you, we rely on our legitimate business interests as the lawful basis on which we retain and use the personal data that you have given to us. Our legitimate interests are to keep you informed of those goods and services and other information about our business. This will be limited to information sent to the contact details that you have provided to us and with every communication you will be given a clear and straightforward option to opt out of further communications and to ask us to delete the personal information that we hold about you. We have considered the risk of harm to your privacy rights and to your data security and have concluded that the risk is minimal given (i) the type of data (your contact details) that we process for this purpose, (ii) the method, volume and content of the communications that we might send to you (emails, including daily offers (not every day but several a week) not more often than monthly, related to the goods and services that you have previously ordered from us or expressed an interest in), (iii) your right to opt out of further communications and to ask us to delete your information from our records at any time and (iv) the ability for you to select your preferences through the marketing preferences portal on our website.
