Our legal basis
Under the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and, where it applies, the EU GDPR, we rely on these lawful bases:
For example, when you join our mailing list. You can withdraw consent at any time.
To deliver something you have bought from us.
To keep records the law requires, such as for tax.
To run and secure our sites, understand how they are used and prevent fraud, where this doesn’t override your rights.
Sharing your data
We do not sell your personal data, and we don’t share it with anyone for their own marketing. We only share it with:
- Service providers who help us run the business, such as website hosting, email and mailing list services, payment processing and analytics. They may only use your data on our instructions.
- Legal authorities when the law requires it, or to protect our legal rights.
- Partners for co-branded collaborations or promotions, and only with your consent.
How long we keep it
We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy, or as long as the law requires. For example:
- Mailing lists: until you unsubscribe.
- Enquiries and suggestions: for as long as we need to deal with them, then deleted.
- Order records: for as long as tax and accounting law requires.
Your rights
You have the right to:
Get a copy of the data we hold about you.
Have inaccurate data corrected.
Ask us to delete your data, unless we must keep it by law.
Limit how we use your data.
Receive your data in a format you can take elsewhere.
Object to processing, including all direct marketing.
Change your mind at any time, without affecting earlier processing.
To the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk, or your local data protection authority.
To use any of these rights, email contact@biglrizmedia.com. We will reply within one month. Every marketing email also has an unsubscribe link.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to make our sites work and, with your permission, to understand how they are used. Read our Cookie Policy for the details and how to change your choices.
Keeping it secure
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss or misuse. No method of sending data over the internet is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security, but we take it seriously.
International transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside the UK or the European Economic Area. When that happens, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy decisions, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Children
Some of our content, such as Epic Fur Odyssey, is made for families. Our websites and mailing lists are not aimed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal data. If you think a child has given us their details, please contact us and we will delete them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or the law. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
