    If you wish to confirm that Grenade is processing your Personal Data, or to have access to the Personal Data Grenade® may have about you, please contact us at dpo@grenade.com.

    You have various rights in respect of your Personal Data which can be summarised as follows:

    1. The right to be informed. Where Grenade intends to collect your Personal Data, you have a right to consent or object to such collection for the intended purposes. In respect of each intended purpose you will be asked to tick box to indicate your consent to each intended purpose for processing of your Personal Data.
    2. The right of access. You may request to receive a copy of any Personal Data held by us, which personally identifies you. We may in some circumstances charge an administration fee to cover the cost of carrying out your request. We may ask you to verify your identity and for more information about your request.

    Please copy any such communication to us so that we can work to resolve any outstanding issues promptly.

    7. Disclosure of Personal Data

    Your information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering the product or service requested.

    We may disclose your Personal Data within Grenade®, to our third-party suppliers (where applicable), professional advisers, and to such other third parties as may reasonably be required in connection with the purposes referred to in this Privacy Policy, such as operating our website, conducting our business, distributing products to you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. (Where you have contracted with a third-party distributor of our products, as clause 2.4 above describes, we have your limited Personal Data and how your Personal Data is processed is a matter strictly between you and them.) We reserve the right to disclose any and all pertinent information to law enforcement or other governmental officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.

    The disclosures of your Personal Data described in this Privacy Policy may, if you are outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), involve the transfer, storage or processing of your Personal Data to such country, where the level of data protection is not as high as in the EEA.  By providing us with your Personal Data in such circumstances you agree to such transfers of your Personal Data. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

    We may also disclose Personal Data in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service, or may be causing injury to or interference with any of our rights or property, other users, or anyone else. We may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.

    8. Direct Marketing
    On occasion, we engage third parties to mail information to you, including items about products you may have purchased, or material from an event sponsor. We have a legitimate interest in processing of Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. We may send postal marketing about a new product; you may opt-out of this at any time by following the instructions in the marketing communication itself or by contacting us through this website. In the context of a sale, we may have sought your consent for electronic marketing, but again you may opt out of this at any time.


    9. Transferring Personal Data to the US or EU

    The personal information Grenade® collects from you is stored in one or more databases hosted by third parties located in the United Kingdom. These third parties do not use or have access to your personal information for any purpose other than cloud storage and retrieval.

    Grenade®’s email services are provided by Mailgun based in the United States. We are satisfied that they have appropriate technological and organisational measures in place to reflect the provisions of GDPR. In addition, where distributors are based in the United States and you have contracted with that distributor, information we collect from you may be processed in the United States. The United States has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 45 of the GDPR. Grenade relies on derogations for specific situations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR. In particular, Grenade® collects and transfers to the U.S. Personal Data only: with your consent; to perform a contract with you; or to fulfil a compelling legitimate interest of Grenade® in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. Grenade® endeavours to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your Personal Data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with Grenade and the practices described in this Privacy Notice. Grenade also minimizes the risk to your rights and freedoms by not collecting or storing sensitive information about you.

    10. Security of your Personal Data

    To help protect the privacy of data and personally identifiable information you transmit through use of this site, we maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards. We update and test our security technology on an ongoing basis. We restrict access to your Personal Data to those employees who need to know that information to provide benefits or services to you. In addition, we train our employees about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your information. We commit to taking appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce our employees' privacy responsibilities.

    11. Retention Period

    We shall retain and store your Personal Data securely and for as long as necessary in order to fulfil our and our distributors’ (where applicable) contracts with you. Where we have been provided with your mobile telephone number in order to arrange delivery, that telephone number shall only be retained for a maximum of one calendar month after delivery. We shall then only retain other Personal Data for as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations and legitimate interests under relevant law or where you have asked us to retain your details for repeat orders.

    For more information on where and how long your Personal Data is stored, and for more information on your rights of erasure and portability, please contact the Grenade®’s data protection officer at dpo@grenade.com.

    12. Terms of Service and Cookies

    Please also visit our Terms of Service section establishing the use, disclaimers, and limitations of liability governing the use of our website.

    As is true of most other websites, the Grenade’s website collects certain information automatically and store it in log files. The information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, browser type, operating system and other usage information about the use of the Grenade®’s website, including a history of the pages you view. We use this information to help us design our site to better suit our users’ needs. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website, analyse trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences. The Grenade®’s website also uses cookies and web beacons. It does not track users when they cross to third party websites, does not provide targeted advertising to them, and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals.

    Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. Cookies make web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences so that we can use the saved information to facilitate your use of our website when you return to the website. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you will find that most major websites use them.

    We use cookies to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

    Please see our Cookie Policy For More Detail.

    13. Changes to our Privacy Policy

    If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page. We reserve the right to amend the Privacy Notice and Terms of Service at any time, for any reason, without notice to you, other than the posting of the amended Privacy Notice and Terms of Service at this site. We may email periodic reminders of our notices and terms and conditions and will email deployment partners of material changes thereto, but you should check our site frequently to see the current Privacy Notice and Terms of Service that is in effect and any changes that may have been made to it.
