Use of Your Personal Information
Introduction This privacy policy aims to explain how the personal data we may store about you and your purchase is collected, stored, processed and looked after. There may be changes to Drum Central that may result in us needing to update this policy to reflect that. In this policy Drum Central Edinburgh Ltd will be referred to as ‘we’ and ‘us’. We will do our best to use plain English in this policy and provide relevant examples throughout. Where necessary, examples will be highlighted in italic text.
Why do we need personal data To put it simply, we want to help you find the products and solutions that are right for you. When we collect the different pieces of data we are trying to build an image of you as customer (and musician) to help us understand your needs. Once we understand your personal requirements we can then provide products, solutions, recommendations, offers, services and hints and tips. This is within our legitimate interest as a business as we want to provide the most personal and relevant service to our customers. If you choose to withdraw your consent from us to contact you or do not fall within the scope of legitimate business interest we will be unable to contact you. When placing an order with us in store or online we need to use your personal details to complete your sale. This may include us passing your details onto our couriers for deliver or external suppliers if we are having an item delivered directly to you from their warehouse. Without this data we could not complete our contract of sale with you. Only relevant and limited data would be passed on to complete a sale.
If you make an enquiry with us we will use your personal data to facilitate the response. If you contact us regarding a complaint we may also collect and process your data to ensure we have heard and resolved your complaint. In the event of a return request we would also collect your data to ensure a returns authorisation can be granted. We will use your personal data to help protect our business form fraud and other illegal activities that may occur through a sale. This may include, but is not limited to carrying out fraud checks and where necessary passing any relevant data onto law enforcement agencies.
You can opt out from any consent you have given us at any time. However, there may be times when we would need to contact you again to let you know of changes to products and services we provide as a business. There may be times when it is necessary for us to contact you to let you know of a product recall/warranty issues, this would give us a legitimate reason to contact you.
What Are My Rights With My Personal Data
These rights are universal and not specific to us. You have several rights over your data, some of the most important are: • You can request access to the data we store about you and then change and correct this once provided. • At any time you can withdraw consent you have previously given us. Doing so would remove you from future marketing. You can choose to withdraw consent by contacting us and requesting this, alternatively you will find unsubscribe buttons at the bottom of marketing emails from us. • You may request the data we hold on you at any time, you can do this by contact us using the contact us method online. Our Data Protection Officer will review your request once made and make you aware of the outcome in a timely manner.
Why Do You Need To Collect Data
We use data in all areas of our business: • Through your contract of sale with us there are reasons for us to collect your data to ensure we can safely and securely complete this agreement. When we complete a sale we would take your personal details, address and contact information to ensure we can deliver your order to you. • In some scenarios we may collect, process and store your data with your consent. This could happen if you agree through a tick box to giving us consent to provide you with newsletter and deals relating to your existing business with us. When we ask for your consent we will always try to make it as clear as possible what you are agreeing to. • We may use your data to facilitate our legitimate business interests within a reasonable and restricted scope of running a business. Using your past purchase history, we may create personal offers for items that may be of interest to you based on this data. • In most cases we may be required to collect and process your data to comply with other legal requirements and needs. If you use a finance product to pay for your order, we may need to give data we hold on you to them, so they can make an informed decision on your finance agreement. In this example they may rely on other agencies (such as fraud prevention and credit agencies) to gain further information to support their decision. • When searching for products through search engines your data may be collected through a cookie to help us track what items you have looked at and market offers along with other advertising channels. Further details of this can be found in our cookie policy.
When Do You Collect Personal Data
There are many times we collect data, sometimes it will be obvious (providing your personal information for a delivery) and other occasions it may not be as clear (when emailing, calling or chatting with us.) These are some examples of times we may collect your data: At the point of any purchase, enquiry, return or complaint we will collect personal data about you and your purchase. • In store our CCTV systems may record you during a visit. • When you leave a review for us using TrustPilot, Google or own product review system. • When you contact us on social media. • When you enter a competition of promotion linked to us. • When you visit our website, your cookie will be collected by ourselves and third parties that help us track sales and advertise. While these are some examples of times we may collect data they are not limited to this.
What Sort of Personal Data Do You Collect
These are examples of the forms of data we may collect from you, due to scope and complexity of our business these examples are not exhaustive. • When you choose to collect an order from one of our stores we may collect copies of ID to prove your identity. The ID we request will usually be photo ID and address ID though this may change and we would contact you in these cases. • Placing an order in store or online will require similar sorts of data. We may collect your name, address, purchase information, receipt history, email addresses, telephone numbers and any other data that will help us complete our contract of sale with you. • Your payment information will be collected in store when paying by card. • When shopping with us in store or online we may collect personal data and that help us recognise your preferences. This may help us identify products that may be useful to you in the future. • When you communicate with our different teams across the company we may record your interactions and discussions to provide information to help you in the future with enquiries. • Through our website we will collect information from your browser stored in your cookie data. You can find more specific information about this in our cookie policy on our website. • Any comments and products you review will be collected.

Different products have different warranties and will result in us keeping your data for longer.
Through regular audits we may identify your data as no longer required to be stored and we will delete it.
Who Else May My Personal Data Be Shared With
To help complete our obligations to you we may be required to share your personal data with other third parties. This may include us passing your personal information onto delivery agents and suppliers who deliver directly to you from external warehouses. When we share your data with any other party we will only share limited and relevant data. When we investigate possible fraud attempts we may share your personal data with different external agencies to help us to understand if a transaction is genuine. This may result in us choosing to share data of fraudulent activity with law enforcement agencies.
If we are exporting goods to you, we are often required to share your personal data with the relevant import bodies in the country of delivery. We would comply with any request with a view of completing our contract of sale with you in the most efficient and expeditious manner.
