Necessary for the performance of a contract
If you are a client or creator or you order a product or service from us such as gifting, or subscription to our newsletter or emails, we will use your information to provide that product or service to you.
Consent
In some cases, we rely on your specific consent to process your personal data. This applies where you will have actively agreed and ‘opted in’ for example to receive our newsletters or emails. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
Compliance with laws
We may have to process and share your personal data in order to comply with our legal obligations, or to protect our rights or the rights of others. For example, we have to collect certain information from you when we collect a payment from you for tax and accounting purposes.
Legitimate interests
In some situations we rely on our legitimate business interests in order to collect and use your personal data. Before we do, we will have carefully assessed the impact of the processing on your interests, rights and freedoms.

We rely on Legitimate Interests for the following activities:
arranging travel and/or accommodation in relation to a specific campaign and the sharing of your information with our trusted suppliers;
arrange work permits/visas in relation to a specific campaign and the sharing of your information with regulator bodies;
sending direct marketing communications about our products and services to you if we think you may be interested in them.

If you object to our reliance on Legitimate Interests for any purpose please contact us using any of the contact methods described in the “How can you contact us?” section, below.
Do we collect data on behalf of other organisations?
In specific cases, we will collect and store personal information on behalf of a client, as part of our service delivery and contractual agreement. In these instances you will have registered with our client and accepted their terms of how they use your data and for what purpose. We will only ever process your data in accordance with these terms and to the extent necessary to enable us to provide our services to the client. If you would like further information on this, please contact the relevant organisation. Alternatively, we would be happy to assist.
How is your information stored?
All of your personal data that we collect is stored securely in the EU. Your personal data may be transferred to, and stored by, our group companies and our service providers who are based outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA), if necessary to enable us to provide our products and services to you including, for example, where necessary to fulfil your order or process your payment details.
Whenever we store or transfer your personal data to third parties outside the UK or EEA, we will comply with our legal obligations and take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
We will only keep your personal data for a reasonable period of time, which is based on the purpose for which we are using it, as described above. When that purpose has been fulfilled, we will securely delete or destroy your personal data or anonymise it (so that no-one else can tell that the personal data relates to you) unless we are required to retain your personal data longer for legal, tax or accounting reasons or to defend or enforce our contractual rights. We may also retain your personal data beyond this period for our legitimate business purposes, for example, if you have opted out of marketing communications from us, we will retain limited details about you to ensure we can honour the opt-out request.
Security
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) secure log on details which are required to access our Fourth Floor Platform or other secure platforms, you are responsible for keeping those log on details confidential. We ask you not to share them with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data when it is transmitted to us; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access to it. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those 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 they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
Do we share data with other third parties?
We do not, and will not, sell any of your personal information to any third party.
However, we do share your data with the following categories of organisation to enable us to provide our products and services:
We may disclose your personal data to any member of the Fourth Floor Group.
Arranging travel and/or accomodation in relation to a specific campaign and the sharing of your information with our trusted suppliers.

Companies approved by you such as social media sites, when you decide to link your accounts to us, and other marketplaces, such as payment services like PayPal. In these instances, you are accepting their terms of how they use the data and for what purpose. We will only ever process your data in accordance with these terms. If you would like further information on this, please contact the relevant organisation. Alternatively, we would be happy to assist.
When a competition is being managed by Fourth Floor but fulfilled by a third party, your information will be shared if you are a winner so that we can ensure, as a winner, receive your prize. In this circumstance, they will have access to your personal information but they cannot use it or disclose it for any other purpose unless you have specifically given them consent to do so.
Website analytics service providers, such as Google Analytics, collect information about you by cookies and similar technologies which are placed on our websites and online stores. For more information on what information is collected and how it is used, please see our cookies policy.
In the event that we sell our business or any part of our business or assets, we may disclose your personal data to the prospective buyer of such business or assets.
To law enforcement agencies if we are under a legal duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use or to protect the rights, property or safety of ourselves, our customers and clients and others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

The right to request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
