Privacy Policy

The Zero Pantry is committed to protecting the privacy of personal data under the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (May 2018).

​

1. Personal Data

This is any personal data you share with us and could include: your name, your postal address, your email address and your telephone number. This may be used for the following purposes:

• to respond to your queries;

• to provide services where requested;

• to keep you informed about our work, news and offers;
   

You have the right to request to see, amend or remove any personal information we hold about you. See section 2: Your Rights below.
 

Confidentiality and data protection

We do not sell or swap your details with any third parties. If further services are required your explicit consent will be required before being actioned.  We may, with your consent, pass on contact details to another trader if we are unable to satisfy your order.
 

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. This includes a designated Data Controller and Data Protection Officer who are responsible for the safeguarding of your personal data.
 

Legal basis (or bases)

The legal bases on which we process your data are as follows:

Consent. We require your consent to store and utilise your data. Each form you complete, whether on the website or on paper, will have a consent agreement statement. We may use this data to inform you of other services which may be of interest to you.
 

Contract.
By entering into an agreement with The Zero Pantry you understand that we will store and process such data as you provide in the Discovery Phase form.
 

What we collect

• Name, business name and details

• Contact information including email address

• Demographic information such as postcode, preferences and interests

• Other information relevant to the Discovery Phase

• Other information pertaining to surveys and/or offers 

Collecting this information helps us to understand what you are looking from the company enabling us to provide you with a better service and in particular for the following reasons:

• For our own internal records.

• We may occasionally send you promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided.
   

Special category data

The Zero Pantry will not store or process special category data. Some special category data, such as ethnicity, may become known to us but we will not store or process this information.

​

Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

​

Breach Notification

A personal data breach may mean that someone other than the data controller gains unauthorised access to personal data. However, a personal data breach can also occur if there is unauthorised access within an organisation, or if a data controller’s own employee accidentally alters or deletes personal data.

All breaches of the GDPR are to be reported without undue delay to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) within 72 hours unless the breach is unlikely to result in any risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, and to the data subjects without undue delay, unless a specified exemption applies.

Notifications to the data subjects will provide name and contact details of the data controller where more information can be obtained, the likely consequences of the personal data breach and the measures taken or proposed to be taken by the controller to address the personal data breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects.
