Legal basis for processing personal information

When processing your personal information, a company is required to have a ‘legal basis’ for doing so. Our legal basis to process your personal information will fall into one or more of the following categories:

  • Express and informed consent has been given by the person whose data is being processed; and/or
  • Panzer Delicatessen Ltd has a legitimate interest in processing the data; and/or
  • It is necessary in relation to a contract or agreement which the person has entered into or because the person has asked for something to be done so they can enter into a contract or agreement; and/or
  • There is a legal obligation on Panzer Delicatessen Ltd to process data.
  • Where Panzer Delicatessen Ltd is relying solely on consent as the basis for processing data, we are required to obtain your expressed consent and you can modify or withdraw this consent at any time by notifying us in writing, although this may affect the extent to which Panzer Delicatessen Ltd is able to provide services to or interact with you in future.

If you do not provide information that we have requested, we may be unable to provide some products and services to you. For example, without your full address, we will not able to deliver products to you.

If you have opted into Panzer’s marketing we may use Google and Facebook services to identify users for personalised advertising on these platforms. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any marketing email we send you.

Sharing of your personal information

On occasion, we share your personal information with trusted third parties so that they can assist us in providing products and/or services to you.

We do not sell or share personal details to third parties for the purposes of marketing. In some specific circumstances, we may share your personal information with third parties who process it for their own purposes. Those third parties will have their own legal obligations to protect your information, and you will have legal rights that you can enforce directly against them. For example:

  • In order to process payments, prevent fraud and reduce credit risk, we may share your personal information with other companies and organisations;
  • When required, we may share your personal information with government bodies, regulatory bodies or law enforcement organisations so that they can carry out their legal functions.

  • if any information is written down on paper, it is immediately destroyed after being processed appropriately into our systems;
  • credit card data is never kept on file;

  • You can request access to your personal information, known as a “data subject access request”, which allows you to check which data we hold on you and that we are processing it lawfully.

  • You can request a correction of the personal information we hold about you.
