Data Security 

At Graham’s The Family Dairy, we are serious about taking the appropriate measures to protect your personal data.  

We limit access to our buildings to those who require access – using passes and other technology. We also have a risk framework in place including the appropriate policies and procedures required to keep your data secure. We apply controls and access restrictions across all of our technology platforms and review and test these at regular intervals. 

Where passwords are required by you to access secure platforms as part of the service we provide, it is your responsibility to keep these passwords secure. 

Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to enable you to visit other websites of interest easily. 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 Notice. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy notices applicable to the website in question.

Your rights

Under data protection law you have a number of rights in relation to the personal data that we hold about you. These rights might not apply in every circumstance. You can exercise your rights by contacting us at any time using the details set out at the beginning of this Privacy Notice.

Please note that although we take your rights seriously, there may be some circumstances where we cannot comply with your request such as where complying with it would mean that we couldn't comply with our own legal or regulatory requirements. In these instances we will let you know why we cannot comply with your request.

When you contact us to exercise one of these rights, we may need to ask you for specific information to confirm your identity.  This is a security measure to ensure that your personal data is not disclosed to any person who does not have the right to receive it.  We may also contact you to ask for more information about your request to speed up our response.

You have the following rights as a data subject:

  • Right of access: You have the right to request access to the personal data held by us as a data controller and certain details of how we use it. We will usually provide your personal data to you in writing unless you request otherwise. Where your request has been made electronically (e.g. by email), a copy of your personal data will be provided to you by electronic means where possible.
  • Right of rectification: Where you feel that the information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can contact us and ask us to update or amend it.
  • Right to be forgotten: In certain circumstances, you are entitled to request deletion of your personal data. For example, where we no longer need your personal data for the original purpose we collected it for or where you have exercised your right to withdrawn consent. Whilst we will assess every request, there are other factors that will need to be taken into consideration. For example we may be unable to erase your information as you have requested because we have a regulatory obligation to keep it.
  • Right to restrict processing: In certain circumstances, you are entitled to ask us to stop using your personal data, for example where you think that the personal data we hold about you may be inaccurate or where you think that we no longer need to use your personal information. 
  • Right to data portability: In certain circumstances, you can request that we transfer personal data that you have provided to us to a third party.
  • Right to object to processing: In certain cases you have the right to object to our processing, this arises in relation to where we process your personal data based on our legitimate business interests. Where we do so, you can object to such processing, unless our purpose outweighs any prejudice to your privacy rights.
  • Right to object to direct marketing: You have control over the extent to which we market to you and you have the right to request that we stop sending you marketing messages at any time.  You can do this either by clicking on the "unsubscribe" button in any email that we send to you or by contacting us using the details set out in this privacy notice. Please note that even if you exercise this right because you do not want to receive marketing messages, we may still send you service related communications where necessary.
  • The right to withdraw your consent: Where we rely on your consent in order to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw such consent to further use of your personal data.
  • Rights related to automated decision making and profiling:  In the order process on our Web Shop we use a postcode system that identifies whether your delivery address is within the area that we can serve. Should your postcode fall outside our serviced area then we cannot serve you and you will be informed of this directly in the order process. When we use your personal data to make decisions on an automated basis and where this has a legal or significant impact on you, you have the right to have access to an individual who can review and reconsider the decision. Please contact us via the contact details provided in this Privacy Notice if you wish to discuss. This right applies where you have given us your explicit consent and where it is necessary for the entry into or performance of a contract with you. We do not carry out any other forms of automated decision making. If this changes in the future, we will provide you with an updated notice setting out our decision-making process.

Contacting Us and Your Right to Making a Complaint
