Privacy Policy
This is the Obaguk.co.uk privacy policy to explain how and why we use your personal information. It’s important, so please read it and make sure you control your privacy. Our website is not intended for use by children who are under 16 years of age.
Our privacy principles
We take your privacy seriously.
We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information.
We comply with data privacy laws when using your personal information.
We only use it for lawful reasons you expect or that we explain to you in this document.
We will limit our collection and only use the details we really need or which you have provided.
We will explain your rights to control your personal information to you and how to use them.
We want you to understand:
- The personal information we collect about you and where we get it from
- What we do with your personal information
- Who we share your personal information with and why
- Where we send your personal information outside Europe
- How we keep your personal information secure
- How long we keep your information and why
- Your rights and how to use them
- Other details you should know
- What personal information we collect about you and where we get it from
We collect most information directly from you when you order or buy from us. We get technical details from the devices you use to access our website and from cookies which tell us what you look at online, where and when. Like most other websites, our technology also lets us know when and how you use our websites, such as when you have added to or abandoned your basket or filled in a form.
The personal information we collect, and use will depend on why we need it. We will only collect the personal information we believe we need to use, or which you have agreed we can collect from you or agreed someone else can share with us.
Sometimes we are given information about you unexpectedly, such as from the police, organisations and agencies trying to prevent threats and fraud, and from the public.
What we do with your personal information
We need to collect and use lots of information about you so that you can use our website. We also need to use some details to prevent and detect fraud.
We look at and learn from your browsing, shopping and how you respond to our marketing to understand what sort of customer you are and predict what products we have that you may also be interested in. Our use of your details will depend on you and what you are doing: browsing or buying, if you are new to us or a registered customer.
Who we share your personal information with and why
We use suppliers and service providers, such as for delivering orders, or dealing with card checks and payments. These include other group companies and external contractors. We only share the personal details they need to know for their services and we make sure your privacy is respected and protected.
We share personal information with third parties when you have told us that we can share, or them that they can share, or you agree we can share your information,
We will provide personal information about you to the police, fraud prevention and credit reference agencies when we have to by law, or when we deem necessary to prevent fraud. If we decide to reorganise or sell all or most of our business, your personal information may be transferred to the buyer of the business but we will never sell your personal information to third parties for them to market their products to you.
Where we send your personal information outside Europe
Business for us and many suppliers is international so your personal information may, at times, be handled in a location outside Europe. When this occurs, we take care in ensuring the security of your information. In the event you ask us to deliver your order outside of Europe, we need to send limited details outside of Europe to fulfil this request.
How do we keep your personal information secure
Our people understand how important it is to keep your personal information safe and secure. We take steps online and in store to keep our stores and offices, systems and records secure.
How long we keep your information and why
We will only keep your personal information for a limited period of time. This period will depend on a number of reasons, such as whether we still need to deliver to you, or you have an account with us, or we are providing ongoing customer care to you. Sometimes we must also keep your information by law, to deal with a regulator or where required by our insurers. We delete your personal information at your request where possible and we won’t keep it for longer than we should or need to for the provision of a service and for communicating with you.
Your rights and how to use them
You have rights to find out about how and why we use your personal information and to control its use. These include rights to access and correct your details, in some cases to ask us to limit or stop our use of them and even to delete them. Where we use your personal information based on your consent, you have the right to change your mind and you can always unsubscribe from our direct marketing to you, by simply clicking unsubscribe in a marketing email, or in this policy.
. You also have a right to complain to the UK’s privacy regulator should you feel your rights or the law has been compromised.
Other details you should know.
Our privacy policy explains how we at Obag UK are responsible for using your personal information. If you would like to get in touch, you can email us at info@obaguk.co.uk.
From time to time we will update this policy. We’ll always send you a copy in the event of material change but if minor changes are made, we won’t bombard your mailbox.
Additional details
Where we collect and use information about you and which allows us to identify you, it is your personal information. Our quick read summary privacy policy has already given you some key facts but this part of our policy adds further detail if you want to understand more about how and why we use your information.

Cookies
So we are clear, cookies are the nickname for tiny text files which some websites pages place on the device you use to access them, to give us encrypted information such as to remember what you have put in your basket when shopping, your preferences, whether you have an account and what cookies you have accepted. They will not collect your name, address and payment card details but send back technical facts. They also help us to understand and sort out technical errors which sometimes happen online. We need cookies to make our websites and your device able to work well together. Some cookies are our own but we also work with carefully selected third parties to help us and who set their cookies from our website pages and to help us run our websites (these are called third party cookies). You will not be able to buy from us online and your browsing experience may not be as enjoyable if you block your device from receiving cookies.
We use cookies online to do the job a good sales assistant does in store, noting what you are interested in, seeing if we can help show you where those items are, find more like them and tell you about products which work well with them. We can also tell you about special offers and promotions, just like they would.
Personal information does not include information where your identity has been removed or is unknown (anonymous data). Some of this information may only be identifiable to you and personal because you are logged in to your account, or because we have collected details of your IP address or the device that you have used to access the website. Where we can, we prefer to show you adverts online which you are more likely to be interested in.
Normally until you buy from us, you are an unnamed user of our website but we want to make you a customer. We work with online advertising partners to do this. They set a cookie from our webpages and this allows them to spot when you use the same device on other websites they publish ads on. They can then make sure you see an ad from us (retargeting). In some cases, the ads you see from us online will be more tailored to you (tailored or behavioural ads). This uses known and observed information about you to try and categorise you and predict what you will want to buy and which offers you will most like (profiling). This will be from our knowledge of you as a customer with us and from your use of our websites but we do not share that detailed information with those advertising partners. In other cases, it will be based on what advertising partners /social media providers know about you from their cookies and use of their websites but we do not receive the detailed information from these websites.
You can get more information about cookies and can change your mind about cookies at any time. if you want more details or to change your mind, see our cookies policy.
What we do with your personal information
We need to collect and use lots of information about you and any devices you use to access our apps or websites for many different reasons,
but we will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. This will always be for one of these reasons (our lawful basis):
|
Legal basis |
When we use this basis |
|
Contract |
This is where we need to use your personal information for a contract reason (to comply with a contract with you, or take steps you have requested to start a contract with you). |
|
Legal obligation |
|
|
Consent |
This is where we use your personal information with your clear consent, you have a complete free choice to say yes or no, and you can change your mind at any time. |
|
Public interest |
This is where we need to use your personal information for an official purpose, or for a reason in the public interest for the greater public good, like cooperating voluntarily with an official police investigation. |
|
Vital interests |
This is where we need to use your personal information in an emergency to protect you (or someone else) from death or serious harm. |
|
Legitimate interests |
This is where, on balance and being fair to you, we have (or a third party has) another good and lawful business reason for using your personal information and we do not need your consent. |
By law we must treat special category or sensitive personal data, such as on health or alleged crimes, with even more care and must have an additional reason for collecting and using this type of personal information. Where special categories of sensitive personal information are involved in addition our use will always be for one of these reasons.
|
Legal basis
|
When we use this basis |
|
Legal obligation |
This is where we must use your personal information to comply with your or our legal rights or obligations related to employment or social protection. |
|
Preventative medicine |

|
Vital interests |
This is where we need to use your personal information in an emergency to protect you (or someone else) from death or serious harm and you are not capable of giving your consent. |
We want you to understand why we use the personal information we do and our legal basis for doing so. We explain this here.
Where we can, we will also move from using your information in ‘individual picture’ form about you, to ‘big picture’ form as a member of a group but not as an individual. To do this, we can bunch lots of information on individuals together (aggregation), remove or change details that identify you to make that more difficult or impossible (de-identification, pseudonymisation and anonymization) and change information about people into information about numbers (statistics). This helps us to protect your privacy whilst having the information we need to run our business and comply with our obligations. We can use the details for research, statistical analysis, and reports.

Where we send your personal information outside Europe
Data privacy laws in the UK and across the countries in the European Union, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, (the European Economic Area) are very similar. We have called this area ‘Europe’ for ease. If it is necessary for us to transfer your personal information outside Europe we will only make that transfer if we use a method approved as privacy-safe by the data privacy regulators in Europe:, including:
- the country to which the personal information is to be transferred has been approved by them;
- the recipient of the personal information is in the USA and has certified they will comply with the Privacy Shield rules to protect personal information, approved by them;
- the recipient of the personal information is legally bound to protect your personal information under binding corporate rules approved by them;
- we have made sure that there is a contract to protect your personal data with the recipient, using a template approved by them;
- the transfer is needed for another reason approved by them, such as to make an international delivery at your request; or
- where you explicitly consent to the transfer
You can ask for a copy of the method approved as privacy safe by the data privacy regulators in Europe from our Customer Care team or Data Protection Team using the contact details in section 8 below.
How do we keep your personal information secure
We take specific steps required by data privacy law to take appropriate care of your personal information, whether online or not. This is to protect it against theft or other loss, being corrupted so we cannot use it properly or at all and to stop people who should not be able to see or use it from doing so.
How long we keep your information and why
We will only keep your personal information for a limited period of time. This will depend on a number of factors, including:
- whether you have placed an order with us, or have a registered account with us;
- any laws or regulations that we are required to follow;
- whether we are dealing with a current request, customer care issue or complaint;
- where there is a legal or other type of dispute involving or affecting you;
- the type of information that we hold about you; and
- whether we are asked by you or a regulatory authority to keep your personal data for a valid reason.
We will keep your personal information during the period that you are a customer with us and then for as long as is necessary in connection with both our and your legal rights and obligations. This may mean that we keep some types of personal information for longer than others. Generally, if you are an inactive customer we will remove your account after 18 months.
Your rights and how to use them
You have rights to understand and control use of your personal information. These rights only apply to your own personal information. For all these rights:
we must be able to verify your identity;
your request must not impact the privacy rights of other people;
Your request must not be excessive, very unreasonable or repeated [too often].
They cannot clash with the provision of a service (for example submitting a right to erasure when we are processing an order from you)
Many rights have limitations and exceptions, for instance, we do not have to provide you with legally privileged advice involving your personal information.
