Focused Nutrition is the data controller and referred to in this policy as “we” or “us”. We take your privacy very seriously.

This policy applies to data we process in relation to:
- visitors to our website;
- people who do business with us or visit our store; and
- people who we direct market to.
The information we collect about you
When you do business with us, we may collect the following personal information from you: name, postal address, email address, telephone number, credit card and/or other payment information. We may also sometimes obtain personal information from third parties, but only where this is lawful to do so.
How we will use the information about you
We gather this information to allow us to process your registration, process any orders you may make and provide the goods requested. The relevant information may then be used by us, our agents and sub-contractors to provide you with information about your account with us or any transactions with us and to communicate with you on any matter relating to the conduct of your account in general.
We may also use aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us to develop our website and our services. We may also provide such aggregate information to third parties. These statistics will not include information that can be used to identify you.
From time to time we may provide your information to our customer service agencies for research and analysis purposes so that we can monitor and improve the goods and/or services we provide. We or our agents and sub-contractors may contact you by post, email or telephone to ask you for your feedback and comments on our goods and/or services
Marketing
We may provide you with information about products, services or promotions, which we think may be of interest to you. However, you can always opt out from receiving directing marketing from us.
We direct market to individuals on our marketing database under the legal basis of consent (see below). There is also consent in individuals receiving such marketing communications so they may be appraised of products, services or promotions of which they may be interested.
However, if at any time you opt out of receiving further marketing communications from us, we will not send future marketing communications to you, unless you request us to do so. We make opting out as easy as possible by providing easy click opt out links, where possible. You may also refuse permission for us to market to you by emailing us at
operations@focused-nutrition.co.uk
On this basis we consider that our direct marketing policy is proportionate and balanced and complaint with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
Legal basis
Use of your personal data is based on ours, and your, “consent”, which is to:
- service customer needs;
- promote and market products and services;
- service customer accounts;
- manage complaints and resolve disputes;
- understand customer behaviour;
- protect and support our business, employees and shareholders;
- prevent and detect crime; and
- test and develop products and services.
