You have the option to unsubscribe from our emails through a link at the bottom of each email. You also have the option to turn off online push notifications by disabling notifications in your browser.

Emails we send to you about your orders and purchases from Wow! That’s Me (such as order and dispatch confirmation emails), and emails which notify you of changes to our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, or to other policies we apply under our Terms of Use, are unaffected by your communication preferences; you cannot opt-out of receiving these emails.
We may also use information (data) we hold about you for another purpose, but only where such purpose is communicated to you at the point of data collection.
Where we need to collect personal information by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that information when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, where you do not provide appropriate delivery instructions for us to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
INFORMATION (DATA) SECURITY
We do our best to protect your received personal data and have strict procedures and security features in place to try to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, altered, disclosed, used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal data to employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have procedures to deal with any suspected breach of your personal data and we will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
We cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted via the internet. Any transmission is at your own risk.
WHERE YOUR INFORMATION IS STORED
All information you provide to Wow! That’s Me is stored on secure servers in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). With your consent, and for purposes you have consented to, your information may be transferred and stored outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or our suppliers. Such purposes may be, for example, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details or the provision of support services.
Wow! That’s Me may also subcontract processing to, or share your information with, third parties located in countries other than your home country. Your personal information may therefore be subject to privacy laws that are different from those in your home country.
We will only transfer your personal information to third parties in territories outside the EEA where such transfer is compliant with applicable laws and regulations. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
RETENTION TIME OF YOUR INFORMATION (DATA)
Your personal information is kept only for the time necessary to provide the services or products you request, or to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy. Details of orders (such as invoices) will be kept for as long as we need to retain that information to fulfil our legal, tax and regulatory requirements. This is generally 7 years unless the law prescribes a longer period.
THIRD PARTIES
We do not trade, transfer or sell your information to third parties for our financial gain.
We will only disclose your information to website hosting partners and other parties who work with us to operate our website, conduct our business, or provide services to our users, as long as those parties agree to keep your information confidential. We may also release information to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety.
COOKIES
Our Website may use cookies to help provide you with a better experience when browsing our Website and to improve the Website generally. By continuing to browse the Website, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.
Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or the hard drive of your computer.
Although most browsers are set to accept cookies, you can change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie or to reject cookies. If you reject cookies, certain features or resources of our Website may not work properly.
Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
Except for essential cookies, all cookies will expire after a maximum of twelve months.
YOUR RIGHTS
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under GDPR in relation to your personal information. You have the right to;
- Request access to the personal information that we hold about you.
- Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you.
- Request erasure of the personal information that we hold about you. (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. (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.
- Request the transfer of your personal information to you or to a third party. (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 a contract with you.)
- Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal information. (Note that this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.)
- You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
- We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request.
- We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
You can also exercise your rights at any time by contacting us at hello@wowthatsme.com
You have the right to complain about our use of your personal data to a competent data protection authority.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right to make changes to this privacy policy at any time and for any reason. Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be notified to you by posting an updated version of this policy on this page with an updated revision date and, where appropriate, by email. Your continued use of or access to our services following the notification of any changes to this policy constitutes acceptance to those changes.
