Privacy Policy
1. INTRODUCTION
We are Intervino Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales with company no. 05659462 and registered
address at Lencraft Distribution Centre, Manby Road, Louth, Lincolnshire, LN11 8HB (“Intervino”, “we”, “our”, “us”). For the purposes of data protection law, our relationship to you is as follows:
- If you are an individual customer or an employee of one of our corporate clients, we will be a controller of the personal information we hold about you. This means we make decisions about how and why your information is used, and have a legal duty to make sure that your rights are protected when we do so.
- If you have received one of our products e.g. a corporate gift or hamper which one of our clients has instructed us to send to you, we will be a data processor of your information. This means that we can only use it in ways which our client has authorised e.g. putting together the package, personalising it and sending it to you by post.
This policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit www.intervino.co.uk (our “Website”), when your employer enters into a contract with us, or when we obtain your details from one of our clients.
If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, please contact us by writing to us at our registered address given above, telephoning us on 01507 602101 or contacting us using the details given on our Contact Us
page.
2. THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect personal information about you in several ways, as discussed below:
The Information You Give Us
If you contact us to enquire about a campaign, to discuss your requirements or for any other reason, we will keep a record of that correspondence.
If you purchase one of our products via our online shop or any other outlet e.g. Amazon, we will need to collect personal information from you in order to fulfil your order. This may include your name, address, payment information and contact details. If you order a gift to be sent to another person, we will also need to process their information so that we can send them your order.
Information arising from the work we do for you/your employer
If you are a business customer and we enter into a contract with your employer, we will retain the name and contact details of the personnel we will be working with, in order to be able to carry out the work we have
agreed to do.
Information sent to us by corporate clients
If you have received a package that we have personalised, our client will have sent certain details about you to us in order to allow us to do so. These details will be limited to your name and address.
Sensitive personal information
We will not typically collect information that is particularly sensitive – that is, information relating to your race or ethnic origin, political opinion, religious or other similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or
mental health, sexual orientation or criminal records.

We are subject to the law like everyone else. We may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.
We also may need to retain and disclose certain personal information about you to regulatory authorities and to appropriate agencies to conduct anti-money laundering and trade sanction checks, or to assist with fraud prevention. We will disclose this information as is required by law.
11. ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We want you to remain in control of your personal information. Part of this is making sure you understand your legal rights, which are as follows:
- where your personal information is processed on the basis of consent, the right to withdraw that consent;
- the right to confirmation as to whether or not we are holding any of your personal information and, if we are, to obtain a copy of it;
- the right to have certain data provided to you in a portable electronic format (where technically feasible);
- the right to have inaccurate personal information rectified;
- the right to object to your personal information being used for marketing or profiling, or on the basis of our or a third party’s legitimate interests;
- the right to restrict how your personal information is used; and
- the right to be forgotten, which allows you to have your personal information erased in certain circumstances (though this is not an absolute right and may not apply if we need to continue using it for a lawful reason).
If you would like further information about any of your rights or wish to exercise them, please contact us using the details given in section 1
Please keep in mind that there are exceptions to the rights above and, though we will always try to respond to your satisfaction, there may be situations where we are unable to do so (for example, because the information no longer exists or there is an exception which applies to your request).
If you are not happy with our response, or you believe that your data protection or privacy rights have been infringed, you should contact the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, which oversees data protection compliance in the UK. Details of how to do this can be found at www.ico.org.uk.
