Depending on the nature of our interactions with you, there may be certain essential personal information that we have to collect from you so that you can use Limber, so that we can communicate with you or so that you can browse our website (as appropriate). This will vary depending on the relationship we have with you.

For example, you may provide us with additional contact details to make it easier for us to get in touch with you, additional profile information to better present yourself to other users and partners or additional information about your circumstances and preferences to enable us to better tailor our services to you.

We will always aim to make it clear which personal information it is necessary for you to provide and which personal information is optional. However, if you are unsure as to whether you are required to provide any particular piece of personal information please ask.

Where you have given us your consent to use your personal information in a particular manner, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time, which you may do by contacting us as described in paragraph 11. Please note however that the withdrawal of your consent will not affect any use of your personal information made before you withdrew your consent.

Circumstances in which we may share your personal information

Your personal information may be made available to other users and to partners when:

  • you have included it in your profile,
  • you sign up for a particular event,
  • you follow or join a club,
  • you otherwise connect with another user or a partner, including sending messages through Limber; or
  • you become involved in a dispute with another user or a partner.

Your personal information may also be shared with:

  • providers of outsourced services, such as hosting and IT support or maintenance services (to the extent necessary for the provider to provide those outsourced services to us);
  • our payment processor, and
  • the prospective seller or buyer of any business or assets in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets.

We may also share your personal information with third parties if we are under a duty to share your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply such other terms as apply to our relationship, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our customers, ourselves or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection.

We may share anonymised and aggregated information about our customers to third parties, such as advertisers, to allow them to select and send relevant adverts to our customers. We may also use such anonymised aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target.

Transferring your personal information internationally

In certain cases the sharing of your personal information to a third party as described above may involve your personal information being transferred outside of the United Kingdom. This may be to:

  • a country in the European Economic Area or that is otherwise considered to have data protection rules that are equivalent to those in the United Kingdom; or
  • a country which is not considered to have the same standards of protection for personal data as those in the United Kingdom, in which case we will take all steps required by law to ensure sufficient protections are in place to safeguard your personal information, including where appropriate putting in place contractual terms approved by the relevant regulatory authorities.

Retention, updating and removal of your personal information

Where you provide us with personal information we may retain this information for future use, including:

  • to facilitate your use of Limber;
  • for record keeping purposes, such as keeping a record of your activity through Limber;
  • exercising our rights in connection with our agreement with you;
  • in the investigation of any complaint or allegation made by another user about you (or by you about another user or partner);
  • analysis aimed at improving Limber
  • undertaking surveys or market research regarding your experience of dealing with us;
  • providing you with news and updates of a type you have asked to receive; and
  • monitoring fraud and other illegal or unlawful activity.

The duration for which we retain your personal information will differ depending on the type of information and the reason why we collected it from you. However, in some cases personal information may be retained on a long term basis: for example, personal information that we need to retain for legal purposes will normally be retained for at least six years in accordance with usual commercial practice and regulatory requirements.

It is important to ensure that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and up-to- date, and you should let us know if anything changes, including if you change your contact details. You can update some of the personal information we hold about you through the app or website. Alternatively, you can contact us using the details in paragraph 11.

If you want to stop receiving any information from us, such as news and updates, please let us know by updating your preferences through the app or website or contacting us using the details in paragraph 11. It may take up to one month to unsubscribe you from marketing.

Your decision to stop receiving information from us or to delete your account may result in the deletion of some of the personal information that we hold about you, but we may still retain personal information we require for other purposes, including where it is required for record keeping purposes.

In certain circumstances you may be entitled to request the erasure of personal information that we hold about you. To make a request of this nature, please contact us, providing full details of the personal information you want to be erased and the reason(s) for your request. We will consider all requests upon receipt and confirm to you whether we are able to agree to your request.

Cookies and Log files

When you browse our website, we may use “cookies” to keep track of your visit and give you a better browsing experience. Please see our cookie policy for more information.

In common with most websites, our website logs various information about visitors, including internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP) information, referring / exit pages and date / time stamp. We may use this information to analyse trends, administer the website, track your movement around the website and gather broad demographic information.

Security

The protection of your personal information is very important to us and we have in place various security measures to ensure that your personal information is kept secure. However, you should be aware that the method you use to get in contact with us, such as email or post, may not be entirely secure and your personal information may be susceptible to being intercepted in transit. Equally, your personal information is at risk if a malicious third party gains access to your Limber account or to any other place where your personal information is stored, such as your email account.

You should therefore take all reasonable steps to keep your personal information secure, including choosing a secure password for Limber account and your email account and not disclosing your passwords to anybody else. You should use a unique password for every account.

Enquiries, issues and complaints

You are entitled by law to ask for a copy of your personal information at any time. Please contact us using the details in paragraph 11.

In the unlikely event that you have any concerns about how we use your personal information, please contact us as described in paragraph 11. This includes situations where you want to request the rectification or erasure of your personal information, restrictions to be placed around how we use your personal information, or to object to a particular use.

If you make a complaint about our handling of your personal information, it will be dealt with in accordance with our complaints handling procedure. In the first instance it will be reviewed by our customer care team who will respond to you within one month. If you are dissatisfied with this response you may request that your complaint be escalated, in which case it will be passed to a senior person in our business who will review your complaint and the initial response and provide a further response within one month of your request to escalate the matter.

If we are unable to resolve your complaint, you may make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office. Please see https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/ for more information.

Further information

We hope that the contents of this privacy notice address any queries that you may have about the personal information we may hold about you and what we may do with it. However, if you do have any further queries, comments or requests, please contact us as described in paragraph 11 above.

Whilst this privacy notice sets out a general summary of your legal rights in respect of personal information, this is a very complex area of law. More information about your legal rights can be found on the Information Commissioner’s website at https://ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/.

Where you have given us your consent to use your personal information in a particular manner, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time, which you may do by contacting us as described in paragraph 11.
