You don’t have to give us any of this personal information but if you don’t, you may not be able to buy from the site, and you are unlikely to receive our optimal overall customer experience. But that is your choice – and we respect that.

We also anonymise and aggregate personal information (so that it does not identify you) and use it for purposes including testing our IT systems, research, data analysis, improving our site and app, and developing new products and services. We also share this information with third parties.

We do not, and will not, sell any of your personal data to any third party – including your name, address, email address or credit card information.

We want to earn and maintain your trust, and we believe this is absolutely essential in order do that.

However, we share your data with the following categories of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our services to you, as set out in this statement:

– Companies in the Threejays Trading group, as sometimes different bits of our group are responsible for different activities (especially licensed ones)
– Companies that do things to get your purchases to you, such as payment service providers, warehouses, order packers, and delivery companies
– Professional service providers, such as marketing agencies, advertising partners and website hosts, who help us run our business
– Credit reference agencies, law enforcement and fraud prevention agencies, so we can help tackle fraud
– Companies approved by you, such as social media sites (if you choose to link your accounts to us)

We may provide third parties with aggregated but anonymised information and analytics about our customers and, before we do so, we will make sure that it does not identify you.

If you have said we can, we’ll send you marketing messages by email, text, to keep you aware of what we’re up to and to help you see and find our products.

How to stop marketing messages from Sprayster.com –

You can stop receiving marketing messages from us at any time.

You can do this:

– Through your account settings
– By clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any email
– By contacting our Customer Care team

Once you do this, we will update your profile to ensure that you don’t receive further marketing messages.

Please note that, as Sprayster comprises a complex web of many inter-connecting services, it might take a few days for all our systems to be updated, so you might get messages from us while we process your request.

We also engage in online advertising, also to keep you aware of what we’re up to and to help you see and find our products.

Like many companies, we target Sprayster banners and ads to you when you are on other websites and apps.

We do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges, and we use a range of advertising technologies like web beacons, pixels, ad tags, cookies, and mobile identifiers, as well as specific services offered by some sites and social networks, such as Facebook’s Custom Audience service.

The banners and ads you see will be based on information we hold about you, or your previous use of Sprayster (for example, your Sprayster search history, and the content you read on Sprayster) or on Sprayster banners or ads you have previously clicked on.

We’ll only hold on to your information for as long as you are a customer.

If you haven’t logged onto our website for three years we will delete your information from our systems.

If you no longer wish to be a customer, you can also contact our Customer Care team and request to delete all the information we have on you.

If reasonably necessary or required to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our Terms & Conditions, we may also keep hold of some of your information as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the services to you.

Payment information at checkout –

If checking out using a PayPal service, we do not store credit card details.

You have a lot of rights relating to your personal information:

– The right to be informed about how your personal information is being used (like this notice!)

– The right to access the personal information we hold about you

– The right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you (although you can probably do most of this through My Account)

– The right to request that we delete your data, or stop processing it or collecting it, in some circumstances

– The right to stop direct marketing messages, which you can do through My Account, and to withdraw consent for other consent-based processing at any time

– The right to request that we transfer or port elements of your data either to you or another service provider
