Welcome to buynicotinepouches.co.uk. This Privacy Notice explains what we do with your personal information when you are visiting www.buynicotinepouches.co.uk ("Website") and social media pages, making a purchase on the Website or over the phone. It describes how we collect, use and process your personal information, and how, in doing so, we comply with our legal obligations to you. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting and safeguarding your rights.
This Privacy Notice applies to the personal information of our customers. If you are not a customer, please contact us and we will advise you of the applicable Privacy Notice for your situation.
For the purpose of applicable data protection legislation K & B Ventures Ltd with registered office at 25 Ince Road, KT12 5BJ, Surrey, Walton On Thames, United Kingdom (âweâ, âourâ or âusâ) is the âcontrollerâ of your personal information. This means we decide why and how your personal information is used and are responsible for protecting it. Please refer to the end of this notice for our contact and company information. We work with other, more independent, organisations in connection with some of the processing activities described in this notice, such as social media platforms. Where that information is collected and sent to other organisations for processing that is in both our and their interests, we will be making decisions together in relation to that particular processing and will be âjoint controllersâ with the organisations involved. As joint controllers, we and the other organisations involved in making these decisions will be jointly responsible to you under data protection laws for this processing. In other circumstances, the organisation receiving your information will be separately responsible to you and use your personal information in the ways described in its privacy statement (and not ours).
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Please visit this page regularly as we will post any changes here. Where appropriate, we may also notify you of the changes by email.
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of this Privacy Policy, you may have legal rights which we have described below where relevant.
CONTENTS
When you use the Website or interact with us offline we collect and use information about you in the course of providing you with our products and services and with customer support. We may collect some or all of the information listed below to help us with this:
We also automatically collect information about how visitors use our Website by using cookies and similar technologies if, where they are not essential to make the Website work, you have consented to their use. To learn more about how we use cookies and how to switch them off please see our Cookies Policy. Some of the personal information we collect from you is required to enable us to fulfil our contractual duties to you or to others. For example, when buying products from us, we need to collect your financial bank details in order to be able to process your payment and we need to verify your age to comply with laws that apply to us. Other items may simply be needed to ensure that our relationship can run smoothly.
Depending on the type of personal information in question and the legal grounds (i.e. the âlawful basisâ) on which we may be processing it, should you decline to provide us with such data, we may not be able to fulfil our contractual requirements or, in extreme cases, may not be able to continue with our relationship with you.
We may receive personal information about you from third party data providers including your contact details and your status as a smoker. Where possible, we will contact you with details of the personal information we have received from such providers, together with that providerâs details.Â
For details of the lawful basis that we rely on to be able to use and process your personal information, please see 'how we use your information'.
2.1Â Â Personal information
The purposes for which we use your personal information and the lawful basis under data protection laws on which we rely to do this are explained below.
Where you have provided CONSENTÂ
We will rely on your consent, in certain cases, to send you the following where we invite you to opt-in on the Website:
We may also rely on consent to use your name and image for publicity purposes. For example, we may rely on consent to feature winners in advertising for future competitions or prize draws.Â
You may withdraw your consent at any time. Please see the Marketing section below for further details.
Where it is required to complete or, at your request, take steps to enter into, a CONTRACT
The use of your personal information may be necessary to perform a contract that you have with us or perform steps you request to enter into a contract. For example, when you buy a product from us, we need to use your personal information to process your order, to send you the product, for billing purposes and to respond to any requests you may have. We also need to use your personal information to enable you to use some parts of the Website, and to notify you about changes to our services.
Where there is a LEGAL REQUIREMENT
We will use your personal information to comply with our legal obligations, including where the law requires us:
Where it is in your VITAL INTERESTS Â
We will use your personal information to notify you of any product safety or product recall issues.
Where there is a LEGITIMATE INTEREST
We may use and process your personal information where it is necessary for us to pursue the following legitimate interests (whether ours, in connection with our business, or that of a third party), for the following purposes:
Processing necessary for us to promote our business, brands and products and measure the reach and effectiveness of our campaigns
Processing necessary for us to support Website visitors and customers with their enquiries
Processing necessary for us to respond to changing market conditions and the needs of our guests and visitors
for product development and statistical and scientific research purposes;Â
to ensure that the Websiteâs content is presented as effectively as possible for you;Â
Processing necessary for us to operate the administrative and technical aspects of our business efficiently and effectively
As this Website relates to nicotine containing products and vaping products, we feel obliged to make sure that users are verified on the Website and are aged 18 years or over. Failing age verification will mean you cannot complete a purchase.
In order to enable us to do this we will require certain information about you. This will then be passed to our service provider, 1Account who will check it against public sources of information to deliver confirmation, usually in real time.
In order to verify your identity, we may also require you to provide demographic information (such as your gender and birth date) and other personal information which may be used by us and our service provider to verify your details and may include your passport number or driving licence number. This information is checked against secure independent data sources, such as the electoral roll, in order to help verify your identity.
The verification process may include disclosing your information to third party data providers including credit reference agencies. The data providers may check the details supplied against any particulars on any database (public or otherwise) to which they have access for verification purposes.
Any verification check with a credit reference agency will be registered as an âunrecorded enquiryâ (also referred to as a soft check) on your credit report. An unrecorded enquiry means that the search was not made for lending purposes and it is only included on your credit report so that you know the search was made. It is not visible to lenders so it does not affect your credit rating or score when you apply for credit. As part of this process, we will not receive any additional information from the credit reference agency about you.
In some cases, we may need to ask for further information in order to verify your age. If this is necessary, we will contact you to explain why.
Information we collect from other sources*
Where you have asked us to provide a restricted product or service, we may collect information from One Account Mobile Limited (1account) and third-party providers of identity data to 1account. This is necessary for 1account to verify that you meet the minimum age and identity verification requirements as determined by relevant UK age restriction and other legislation. We will record that you have been successfully verified so that you donât need to go through the process again. You can find information about how 1account manage your personal data and view their privacy policy by visiting their website: 1account.net.
Who we share your information with*
Where you have asked us to provide an restricted product or service, we may share your information with One Account Mobile Limited (1account), and third-party providers of identity data to 1account. This is necessary for 1account to verify that you meet the minimum age and identity verification requirements as determined by relevant UK age restriction and other legislation. 1account may retain relevant data for the purpose of future verifications. All data processed by 1account is subject to appropriate security measures. Data retained by 1account is subject to periodic review to ensure it is not held for longer than necessary. You can find information about 1account how manage your personal data and view their privacy policy by visiting their website: 1account.net.

We may collect your preferences to receive marketing information directly from us by email or SMS in the following ways:

A cookie (and other technologies like pixels and beacons) is a small data file that is placed on your browser or the hardware of your computer or other device to allow a website to recognise you as a user when you return to the website.
We use non-essential cookies when you consent for us to do so and essential cookies on the Website. Please see our Cookies Policy for more information about the type of cookies and tracking technologies that we use on the Website and why, and how to accept and reject them.
We may make automated decisions about you based on your personal information to verify your age when you attempt to buy products from us (see the explanation above for further information about this).
We do not make any other automated decisions about you which have a legal or other significant effect on you.
We will share your information primarily to ensure that we provide you with the most exciting and up to date products. We may share your information with any of the following groups:
We use a number of different social media platforms to communicate with you and to promote products and services. We process your personal information using these platforms in a variety of ways, as follows:
Pages. We use your personal information when you post content or otherwise interact with us on our official pages on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media platforms.  We also use the Page Insights service for Facebook and Instagram to view statistical information and reports regarding your interactions with the pages we administer on those platforms and their content. Where those interactions are recorded and form part of the information we access through these Page Insights services, we and the relevant platform are joint controllers of the processing necessary to provide that service to us.

We want to make sure that your personal information is stored and transferred in a way which is secure. We will therefore only transfer data outside of the UK and EEA where it is compliant with data protection legislation and the means of transfer provides adequate safeguards in relation to your data, for example:Â
Where we transfer your personal information outside the UK and EEA and where the country or territory in question does not maintain adequate data protection standards, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Notice. You can ask to see these by contacting us using the contact details below.
We care about protecting your information. That's why we put in place appropriate measures that are designed to prevent unauthorised access to, and misuse of, your personal information.
We are committed to taking all reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the personal information that we hold from misuse, loss, or unauthorised access. We do this by having in place a range of appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption measures and disaster recovery plans.
If you suspect any misuse or loss of or unauthorised access to your personal information please let us know immediately by contacting our Customer Services Manager using the details provided at the end of this notice.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will apply our normal procedures and comply with legal requirements to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to the Website and any transmission is at your own risk.Â
The Website may from time to time contain links to and from other websites. If you follow a link to any of those websites, please note that those sites ought to have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for those sites or for their privacy policies. Please check those privacy policies before you submit your information to those websites.
We will keep your information relating to orders you have placed with us as required by law or other regulation (for example, because of a request by a tax authority or in connection with any anticipated litigation).Â
If you have registered an account with us:Â we will store your personal information for as long as your account is open. If you no longer wish to hold an account with us, you can go into âMy Accountâ on the Website and select the option to delete your account. By doing so, we will delete your account and remove you from our mailing list if you are on there. However, as noted above, we may still retain details of orders you have placed with us for legal or regulatory reasons.
If you have signed up to receive email or SMS marketing from us:Â we will store your personal information for as long as you are subscribed to our email or SMS marketing list (unless your account has been closed). If you unsubscribe or are otherwise removed from our marketing list, we will keep your email address or telephone number on our suppression list to ensure that we do not send you marketing emails or SMS.
If you have contacted us with a complaint or query:Â we will store your personal information for as long as is reasonably required to resolve your complaint or query.
The exceptions to the above are where:
When it is no longer necessary to retain your data, we will delete the personal information that we hold about you from our systems (either by erasing or anonymising that data). After that time, we may retain aggregated data (from which you cannot be identified) and retain it for analytical and statistical purposes.
You have a number of rights in relation to your information under data protection law. In relation to certain rights, we may ask you for information to confirm your identity and, where applicable, to help us to search for your personal information. Except in rare cases, we will respond to you within one month from either: (i) the date that we have confirmed your identity; or (ii) where we do not need to do this because we already have this information, from the date we received your request.
Right to object
This right enables you to object to us processing your personal information where we do so for one of the following reasons:Â
Except for the purposes for which we are sure we can continue to process your personal information, we will temporarily stop processing your personal information in line with your objection until we have investigated the matter. If we agree that your objection is justified in accordance with your rights under data protection laws, we will permanently stop using your personal information for those purposes. Otherwise we will provide you with our justification as to why we need to continue using your personal information.
Right to withdraw consentÂ
Where we have obtained your consent to process your personal information for certain activities (for example, for marketing), you may withdraw this consent at any time and we will cease to use your personal information for that purpose unless we consider that there is an alternative legal basis to justify our continued processing of your data for this purpose, in which case we will inform you of this condition. If you withdraw your consent, our use of your personal information before you withdraw is still lawful.
To withdraw your consent to marketing communications, please use the unsubscribe tool in the relevant communication or update your preferences in the account section on the Website.
Right of access (âData Subject Access Requestsâ)
You may ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you at any time, and request us to modify, update or delete such information. If we provide you with access to the information we hold about you, we will not charge you for this unless permitted by law. If you request further copies of this information from us, we may charge you a reasonable administrative cost. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request. If we refuse your request we will always tell you the reasons for doing so.Â
If you would like to request access to your information, it would assist us with dealing with your request if you could use the subject heading âData Subject Access Requestâ, or quote this over the phone, when contacting us. Please note that this is not mandatory and we will still deal with any requests without this reference.
Right to erasureÂ
You have the right to request that we erase your personal information in certain circumstances. Normally, this right exists where:
We would only be entitled to refuse to comply with your request for erasure in limited circumstances and we will always tell you our reason for doing so.
When complying with a valid request for the erasure of data we will take all reasonably practicable steps to delete the relevant data.Â
Right to restrict processingÂ
You have the right to request that we restrict our processing of your personal information in certain circumstances, for example if you dispute the accuracy of the personal information that we hold about you, you object to our processing of your personal information for our legitimate interests or you require us to keep it in connection with legal proceedings. If we have shared your personal information with third parties, we will notify them about the restricted processing unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. We will, of course, notify you before lifting any restriction on processing your personal information.
We may only process your information whilst its processing is restricted if we have your consent or are legally permitted to do so, for example for storage purposes, to protect the rights of another individual or company or in connection with legal proceedings.
Right to rectificationÂ
You have the right to request that we rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal information that we hold about you. If we have shared this personal information with third parties, we will notify them about the rectification unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You may also request details of the third parties to whom we have disclosed the inaccurate or incomplete personal information. Where we think that it is reasonable for us not to comply with your request, we will explain our reasons for this decision.
You can access and update certain parts of your information by logging into your account on the Website.
Right of data portabilityÂ
If you wish, you have the right to transfer your personal information between service providers where we rely on your consent or the performance of your contract as the lawful basis to use that information. In effect, this means that you are able to transfer the details we hold on you to another third party. To allow you to do so, we will provide you with your data in a commonly used machine-readable format so that you can transfer the data. Alternatively, we may directly transfer the data for you if technically possible.
Rights relating to automated decisions
In certain circumstances, you may contest a decision made about you based purely on automated processing and where the processing is not required by law. You may also ask us to stop making such decisions using automated processing alone.
Right to complain
You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority which is the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK. You can contact them in the following ways:
How to exercise your rights
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us on the details provided under How to contact us. Please note that we may keep a record of your communications to help us resolve any issues that you raise.
