Your data

We collect a small amount of personal data such as, but not limited to, name, phone number, email address and bank details to enable us to create an account on Get My Slice, authenticate you into the app, communicate with you and to make payments to you. We give each user profile a randomly generated alpha-numeric tag which we use as an identifier. When you engage with 3rd party sites and apps via Get My Slice, neither your personal details nor your profile ID is shared. However, there may be occasions where you might be asked to provide some information to the brands via the Get My Slice app but these will be clearly labelled. Please note we do not take responsibility for any information you enter on 3rd party websites (typically when you make a  purchase, think name, phone, email address etc).

We allow you to link some 3rd party digital profiles within the Get My Slice App, please be aware that we do not store your login credentials. With your profiles linked, the app then tries to collect your profile, interest and activity data from the 3rd parties and store this information. This data is mapped to your unique ID. The activity data consists of items such as websites visited, searches performed, interest areas, advertising segments and other such information that relates to what these 3rd parties deem valuable with regard to monetisation. This is the data that is then mapped to thousands of marketing segments; these marketing segments are what powers the Get My Slice personalisation engine on the Get My Slice app. Brands then offer users incentives (payments, discounts, cashback) to participate in an offer (sign up/purchase/enquire). No footprint or personal data is ever shared with brands, the only way data is shared is if you consent to providing your information by entering your information on the brands own website/app (3rd party).

We limit access to your personal data for genuine business purposes only. By entering your information on the brands own website/app, you authorise for the processing and sharing of personal information by 3rd parties who have a duty to act under confidentiality.

You can stop using our services at any time by uninstalling the Get My Slice app.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Data protection

Pursuant to Art.15 GDPR on the Right of Access of Data Subjects, individuals have the right to obtain their personal data from third-parties controllers who include natural or legal persons, public authorities, agencies or other bodies which, alone or jointly with others, determine the purposes and means of the processing of their personal data.

Pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR on the Right to Erasure, users shall have the right to request and obtain from the Controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay of a 1 month period. Such requests shall not apply to the extent that processing is lawfully necessary pursuant to Art 17(3) GDPR.

Disclosures of your personal information

We may share your personal information with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table above.

  • Trusted partners, acting as processors, who enable us to provide you with relevant offers from brands via our marketplace.
  • Professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers including solicitors, bankers, auditors and insurers based in the UK who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
  • HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities acting as processors or joint controllers based in the UK who require reporting of our processing activities in certain circumstances.
  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal information in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

International transfers

All of our service providers are based inside the European Economic Area (EEA), so their processing of your personal information will not involve a transfer of information outside the EEA.

If this changes and it becomes necessary or desirable to transfer your personal information out of the EEA, we will ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We will only transfer your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission; or
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal information the same protection it has in Europe; or
  • Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer information to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal information shared between Europe and the US.

How we store your data?

Information security

Get My Slice securely stores your data in different geographical locations including the UK and Ireland.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Information retention

Get My Slice will retain your Personal Data for as long as you maintain an account or are a registered user on the website/s, application/s or as needed to provide you service. If you delete your account, we will remove your Personal Data and use copies of your Personal Data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements

How long will you use my personal information for?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

If you delete your account profile, most of your personal information will automatically be irretrievably erased.

However, by law, we have to keep certain necessary information about you (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Information) for six years after you delete your account for regulatory and tax purposes.

Your legal rights

You have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information 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 information 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 information 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 information 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. 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 information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal information in the following situations: (a) if you want us to establish accuracy of the information; (b) where our use of the information is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the information 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 information but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal information to you or a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal information 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 our services to you.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal information. 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 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 update your account preferences.

No fee

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information or to exercise any of your other rights.

Time limit to respond

Changes To This Policy

‍If we change this policy, we will post the revised policy here with an updated effective date. If we make significant changes to the policy, we may also notify you by other means such as sending an email or posting a notice on our home page.

‍Cookies Policy

‍We collect data about how you interact with our website through the use of cookies. Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. You can find out more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org. We use cookies to enhance the online experience of our visitors and to better understand how our Site is used. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have visited our site before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. When you browse the Site, we automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.

All the information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies on your browser we will not know when our customers visited our site, and will not be able to improve its performance.

Advertising

Cookies are widely used in online advertising. Neither us, advertisers or our advertising partners can gain personally identifiable information from these cookies. They will be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

You can learn more about online advertising at http://www.youronlinechoices.com. You can opt-out of almost all advertising cookies at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices. It is also worth noting that opting out of advertising cookies will not mean you won’t see adverts, just simply that they won’t be tailored to you any longer.

Remarketing Cookies

You may notice that sometimes after visiting a website you see increased numbers of adverts from the site you visited. This is because advertisers, including ourselves, pay for these adverts. The technology to do this is made possible by cookies, and as such, we may place a so-called “remarketing cookie” during your visit. We use these adverts to offer targeted messages to encourage you to come back to our site. However, we are unable to proactively reach out to you as the whole process is entirely anonymised and you can opt-out of these cookies at any time as explained above and below.

Social Website Cookies

These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the website to enable you to share our content with your friends and other networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other websites and building up a profile of your interests. This may therefore impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.

The privacy implications on this will vary from social network to social network and will be dependent on the privacy settings you have chosen on these networks.

When do our cookies expire?

Except for essential cookies, most of the cookies on our websites expire at the end of your current session on our website. However, some of our cookies have an extended lifespan which ranges from 1 day to 28 days.

Turning Cookies Off

You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies. Doing so, however, will likely limit the functionality of both our and a large proportion of the world’s websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites.

Amending cookies setting in different types of browser:

Cookie settings in Edge – https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/196955

Cookie settings in Firefox – https://support.mozilla.org/en-GB/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences

Cookie settings in Chrome – https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/61416

Cookie settings in Safari – https://support.apple.com/kb/ph21411

It may be that your concern around cookies relates to so-called “spyware”. Rather than switching off cookies in your browser, you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
