4. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION (EEA VISITORS ONLY)
If you are a visitor from the European Economic Area, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
However, we will normally collect personal information from you only (i) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, (ii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights, or (iii) where we have your consent to do so. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person [(e.g. government official authority by law)].
If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contact with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).
If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.
If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “Contact Us” heading below.

We will keep your data for purposes of direct marketing until you withdraw your consent or if you have not opened an e-mail we have sent you within the last year. With respect to customer correspondence, we will retain your data for 7 days following a telephone conversation or an e-mail and for 12 months for case management. After such time periods, your personal data will be deleted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will retain and use your personal data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
You have a right to erase any of your personal data that we retain at any time, except in the following situations:

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data ask us to restrict processing of your personal information or request portability of your personal information. Angelcare will not continue to process the personal data unless we can demonstrate legitimate grounds for the process which overrides your interest and rights or that retention of data is required due to legal claims. Again, you can exercise these rights by contacting us using the contact details provided under the Contact Us heading below.
Similarly, if we have collected and process your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
You have the right to object to direct marketing, including profiling analysis made for direct marketing purposes. You can opt out from direct marketing by following the instructions in each marketing email, by editing your account settings on the Site or by emailing our customer support at info@angelcarebaby.com or by contacting us using the contact details provided under the Contact Us heading below.
You have the right to request that Angelcare restricts the process and collection of your personal data under the following circumstances:
- If you object to Angelcare’s legitimate interest in processing and collecting certain of your personal data, Angelcare shall restrict all processing of such data pending the verification of the legitimate interest;
- If you claim that your personal data is incorrect, Angelcare must restrict all processing and collection of such data pending the verification of the accuracy of the personal data;
- If the processing is unlawful you can oppose the erasure of personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of your personal data;
- If Angelcare no longer needs the personal data but it is required by you to retain such personal data in order to defend legal claims.
If you consider that Angelcare processes and collects your personal data in an incorrect way you can contact us by emailing our customer support at info@angelcarebaby.com or by contacting us using the contact details provided under the Contact Us heading below.
You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.
Your failure to provide certain personal data to Angelcare may justify Angelcare’s refusal to process any order for the purchase of products or services sold through the Site or to make available certain features of the Site.
