3. How We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Purposes for which we will use your personal data:

  • To register you as a new customer.
  • To process and deliver your order, including managing payments, fees and charges.
  • To manage our relationship with you, including notifying you about changes to our terms or privacy policy, and asking for reviews or to take a survey.
  • To administer and protect our business and this website (including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, support, reporting and hosting of data).
  • To deliver relevant website content and advertisements to you and measure or understand the effectiveness of the advertising we serve to you.
  • To use data analytics to improve our website, products/services, marketing, customer relationships and experiences.

4. Disclosures of Your Personal Data

We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes described in section 3:

  • Internal Third Parties: Other companies in the Aria Furnishings group acting as joint controllers or processors and who provide IT and system administration services and undertake leadership reporting.
  • External Third Parties: Service providers acting as processors who provide IT and system administration services, payment processing, marketing services, and delivery services.
  • Professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
  • Regulators and other authorities who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

5. International Transfers

We do not routinely transfer your personal data outside of Canada. However, some of our external third parties may be based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of your country, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented when applicable: We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. Alternatively, where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

6. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

7. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

8. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data.
  • Request correction of your personal data.
  • Request erasure of your personal data.
  • Object to processing of your personal data.
  • Request restriction of processing your personal data.
  • Request transfer of your personal data.
