Pumpapp (“we”, “our” or “Pumpapp”) is committed and businesses who access our websites or utilize our services through any internet or mobile application (together, the “Portals”). Please read the following privacy policy that explains how we use and protect your information. We’ll be the “data controller” of the information you provide to us.

1. Contact details

If you have any queries or requests concerning this privacy policy or how we handle your data more generally, please get in touch with us by contacting our general customer services team and/or Data Protection Officer at: info@pumpApp.com.

2. How we collect your information

We collect your personal information when you interact with us or use our services, such as when you use our Portals to place an order. We also look at how visitors use our Portals, to help us improve our services and optimise customer experience.

We collect information:

  • when you create an account with us or you change your account settings;
  • when you place an order with us and during the order process (including for payment and order delivery);
  • when you contact us directly via email, phone, post, message or via our chat function; and
  • when you browse and use our Portals (before and after you create an account with us).

We also collect information from third party sites, such as advertising platforms.

3. Information that we collect from you

As part of our commitment to the privacy of our customers and visitors to our Portals more generally, we want to be clear about the sorts of information we will collect from you.

When you visit the Portals or make an order through the Portals, you are asked to provide information about yourself including your name, contact details, delivery address, order details and payment information such as credit or debit card information.

We also collect information about your usage of the Portals and information about you from any messages you post to the Portals or when you contact us or provide us with feedback, including via e-mail, letter, phone or chat function. We collect technical information from your mobile device or computer, such as its operating system, the device and connection type and the IP address from which you are accessing our Portals.

We also collect technical information about your use of our services through a mobile device, for example, carrier, time and location data and performance data such as mobile payment method. Unless you have elected to remain anonymous through your device and/or platform settings, this information may be collected and used by us automatically if you use the service through your mobile device(s) via any Pumpapp mobile application, through your mobile’s browser or otherwise.

4. Use of your information

We will only process the data we collect about you if there is a reason for doing so, and if that reason is permitted under data protection law. We will have a lawful basis for processing your information: if we need to process your information in order to provide you with the service you have requested or to enter into a contract; we have your consent; we have a justifiable reason for processing your data; or we are under a legal obligation to do so.

Where we need to in order to provide you with the service you have requested or to enter into a contract, we use your information:

  • to enable us to provide you with access to the relevant parts of the Portals;
  • to supply the services you have requested;
  • to enable us to collect payment from you; and
  • to contact you where necessary concerning our services, such as to resolve issues you may have with your order.

We also process your data where we have a justifiable reason for doing so — for example personalisation of our service, including processing data to make it easier and faster for you to place orders. We have listed these reasons below:

  • to improve the effectiveness and quality of service that our customers can expect from us in the future;
  • to enable our customer support team to help you with any enquiries or complaints in the most efficient way possible;
  • to contact you for your views and feedback on our services and to notify you if there are any important changes or developments to the Portals or our services, including letting you know that our services are operating in a new area, where you have asked us to do so;
  • to analyse your activity on the Portals so that we can administer, support, improve and develop our business and for statistical and analytical purposes and to help us to prevent fraud;
  • to enforce our contractual terms with you and any other agreement, and for the exercise or defence of legal claims and to protect the rights of Pumpapp and our drivers, or others (including to prevent fraud); and
  • if you submit comments and feedback regarding the Portals and the services, we may use such comments and feedback on the Portals and in any marketing or advertising materials. We will only identify you for this purpose by your first name and the city in which you live.

We will also analyse data about your use of our services from your time and/or location data to create profiles relating to you and for you. This means that we may make certain assumptions about what you may be interested in and use this, for example, to send you more tailored marketing communications, or to let you know about special offers or products which we think you may be interested in (including Pumpapp for business). This activity is referred to as profiling. You have certain rights in relation to this type of processing. Please see ‘Your Rights’ section below for more information.

Where we are under a legal obligation to do so we may use your information to:

  • create a record of your order(s); and
  • comply with any legal obligation or regulatory requirement to which we are subject.

5. Pumpapp for business

We also process your information to determine whether you may be interested in hearing about our Pumpapp for business service. Where we think you may be interested in our Pumpapp for business service, we may contact you (by email or telephone) using the contact details you have provided to let you know about it. We are the controller of this information. You have the right to opt out of receiving these types of communications and may do so by changing your marketing preferences (as set out in section 7 below), or, in the case of telephone, by contacting us using the details above.

When you use Pumpapp for business, then:

  • we will process your information for the purposes set out in section 4 above. We will be the controller of this information; and
  • we will also share personal data relating to your order (such as the order date and time, the payment amount).

6. Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Portals may become inaccessible or not function properly.

7. Direct marketing

Where you have given your consent or where we have a justifiable reason for doing so (and are permitted to do so by law) we will use your information to let you know about our other products and services that may be of interest to you and we may contact you to do so by email or phone. You can unsubscribe to email communications by clicking the Unsubscribe link in any of our emails.

8. Retention of your information

We will not retain your information for any longer than we think is necessary. Information that we collect will be retained for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes outlined in the ‘Use of your information’ section above, in line with our legitimate interest or for a period specifically required by applicable regulations or laws, such as retaining the information for regulatory reporting purposes.

When determining the relevant retention periods, we will take into account factors including:

    • our contractual obligations and rights in relation to the information involved;
    • legal obligation(s) under applicable law to retain data for a certain period of time;
    • statute of limitations under applicable law(s);
    • (potential) disputes; and
    • guidelines issued by relevant data protection authorities.

Otherwise, we securely erase your information where we no longer require your information for the purposes collected.

9. Disclosure of your information

The information we collect about you will be transferred to and stored on our servers located within the EU. We are very careful and transparent about who else your information is shared with.

Sharing your information internally

We share your information with other Pumpapp group companies only where necessary for the purposes set out in section 4.

Sharing your information with third parties

We share your information with third party service providers. The types of third party service providers with whom we share your information include:

  • Payment providers (including online payment providers and fraud detection providers): for the purposes of providing services to us, for example when they process information such as credit card payments for us, provide support services to you or carry out fraud checks for us;
  • IT service providers (including cloud providers): for the purposes of data storage and analysis;
  • Drivers: so they can deliver your order to you;
  • Marketing and advertising partners: so that they can ensure that you see advertising which is more relevant to you and send you email marketing on our behalf.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy when it is transferred to third parties.

If our business enters into a joint venture with, purchases or is sold to or merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed or transferred to the target company, our new business partners or owners or their advisors.

We may also share your information:

  • if we are under a duty to disclose or share your information in order to comply with (and/or where we believe we are under a duty to comply with) any legal obligation or regulatory requirement. This includes exchanging information with other companies and other organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and prevention;
  • in order to enforce our contractual terms with you and any other agreement;
  • to protect the rights of Pumpapp, drivers, or others, including to prevent fraud; and
  • with such third parties as we reasonably consider necessary in order to prevent crime, e.g. the police.

International transfers of data

  • In some cases the personal data we collect from you might be processed outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and in countries in which Pumpapp operates (which are set out on pumpapp.co.uk). These countries may not have the same protections for your personal data as the EEA has. However, we are obliged to ensure that the personal data that is processed by us and our suppliers outside of the EEA is protected in the same ways as it would be if it was processed within the EEA. There are therefore certain safeguards in place when your data is processed outside of the EEA.

  • We ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

    a. your personal data is transferred to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;

    b. we use the EU approved Standard Contractual Clauses; and

    c. where your personal data is transferred to third party providers based in the US, data may be transferred to them if they have self-certified under the Privacy Shield framework in relation to the type of data being transferred, which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the EU and the US.

Please contact us using the contact details above if you want further information on the countries to which personal data may be transferred and the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

10. Security

We adopt robust technologies and policies to ensure the personal information we hold about you is suitably protected. We take steps to protect your information from unauthorised access and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. Where you have chosen a password that allows you to access certain parts of the Portals, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We advise you not to share your password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will take steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Portals; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
