This list is not exhaustive and in specific instances, we may need to collect additional data for the purposes set out in this Notice. Some personal data is collected directly, for example when you set up an account on our website or contact us via email or social media, for example, Facebook messenger. Other personal data is collected indirectly, for example when you browse our websites or engage in online shopping activity. We may anonymize and aggregate personal data for insight and research but this will not identify anyone.

HOW WE ARE USING YOUR DATA?

  • to provide goods and services to you;
  • to make a tailored website available to you;
  • For legal accounting requirements;
  • for analysis, insight, and research purposes – to better understand your needs and ensure we are giving the most relevant content, optimize our website for best user experience;
  • to enable us to manage customer service interactions with you;
  • to manage any account(s) you hold with us;
  • to verify your identity;
  • for fraud prevention, detection, and related purposes;
  • with your consent, to contact you about promotional offers, products, and services which we think you may be interested in.
  • Marketing and Promotional communications
  • To ensure you are kept up to date with the COVER DESIGN experience, we use personal data for marketing purposes and we may send you texts and/or emails to update you on the latest offers and events. We may also show you online media communications through external social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram and external digital advertisers such as Google.

You have the right to opt-out of receiving promotional communications at any time, by:

This may not stop service messages such as order updates.

Personalization and Automated Decision Making

If you visit our website, you may receive personalized advertisements whilst browsing websites of other companies. Any advertisements you see will relate to your browsing activity on our website from your computer or other devices.

These advertisements are provided by us via external market leading specialist providers using techniques such as pixels, web beacons, ad tags, mobile identifiers, and ‘cookies’ placed on your computer or other devices (see further information on the use of cookies in our Cookie Policy). You can remove or disable cookies at any time – see Cookie Policy for further information.

We may collect data directly from you, as well as analyze your browsing and purchasing behavior online and your responses to marketing communications. The results of this analysis, together with other demographic data, allow us to ensure that we contact you with information on products, services, events and offers that are tailored and relevant to you. To do so, we use software and other technology for automated decision-making. We may do this to decide what marketing communications are suitable for you and this activity is based on our legitimate interests to develop and improve our products and services.

Also to provide more personalized services and experiences, we may review data held by external social media platform providers about you, for example, details on your Instagram or Facebook profiles that you have chosen to make publicly accessible such as your name, date of birth. Some of our services enable you to sign in via external social media platform providers such as Facebook. If you choose to sign in via a third-party app, you will be presented with a dialog box that will ask your permission to allow us to access your personal information (e.g. your full name, date of birth, email address, and any other information you have made accessible).

We aim to update you about products and services which are of interest and relevance to you as an individual. To help us do this, we process data by profiling and segmenting, identifying what our customers like, and ensuring messages we send them are relevant based on their demographics, interests, purchase behavior, online web browsing activity, and engagement with previous communications. We may also use your data to exclude you from communications that we feel are irrelevant to you. For example, we may exclude someone from resends of marketing emails when we know that person has already opened the original email sent.

Another example of how we may tailor our communications with you is that we may group individuals with similar interests using this data so we can send them product news or promotional offers that are relevant to that shared interest.

You have the right to opt-out of any automated processing, including profiling, at any time by:

informing us that you wish to opt-out of automated processing by contacting our customer support team at Here
