7. Disclosure of Personal Data

Your information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering the product or service requested.

We may disclose your Personal Data within Grenade^®, to our third-party suppliers (where applicable), professional advisers, and to such other third parties as may reasonably be required in connection with the purposes referred to in this Privacy Policy, such as operating our website, conducting our business, distributing products to you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. (Where you have contracted with a third-party distributor of our products, as clause 2.4 above describes, we have your limited Personal Data and how your Personal Data is processed is a matter strictly between you and them.) We reserve the right to disclose any and all pertinent information to law enforcement or other governmental officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.

The disclosures of your Personal Data described in this Privacy Policy may, if you are outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) or UK, involve the transfer, storage or processing of your Personal Data to such country, where the level of data protection is not as high as in the EEA or UK.  By providing us with your Personal Data in such circumstances you agree to such transfers of your Personal Data.

We may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.

8. Direct Marketing including SMS Marketing

General: On occasion, we engage third parties to mail information to you, including items about products you may have purchased, or material from an event sponsor. We have a legitimate interest in processing of Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. We may send postal marketing about a new product; you may opt-out of this at any time by following the instructions in the marketing communication itself or by contacting us through this website. In the context of a sale, we may have sought your consent for electronic marketing, but again you may opt out of this at any time.

SMS Marketing: We may market to you by SMS where you consent to this, i.e. our mobile message service (the "SMS Service"). If you consent to this then this is on the basis that you accept the terms in this clause (“Mobile Terms”). We may modify or cancel the SMS Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify the Mobile Terms at any time and your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes. We do not charge for the SMS Service, but you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with text messaging imposed by your wireless provider. Message and data rates may apply.

Text messages may be sent to use as a user of the SMS Service using an automatic telephone dialing system or other technology. Your consent to receive autodialed marketing text messages is not required as a condition of purchasing any goods or services. If you have opted in, the SMS Service may provide any or all of the following:  updates, alerts, and information (e.g. order updates, account alerts, etc.), promotions, specials, and other marketing offers (e.g. cart reminders) via text messages through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided. Message frequency varies.  Our site uses cookies to help keep track of items put into your shopping card including when you have abandoned your cart and this information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages via SMS.

For US/Canadian customers text the single keyword command STOP in reply to an SMS we send to you.  For customers in the UK click the unsubscribe link in any text message to cancel the SMS Service at any time or text the single keyword command STOP in reply to an SMS we send to you. You will receive a one-time opt-out confirmation text message. If you have subscribed to other mobile message programs of ours and wish to cancel, except where applicable law requires otherwise, you will need to opt out separately from those programs by following the instructions provided in their respective mobile terms. For SMS Service support or assistance, text HELP to the number from which you received the text message or email info@grenade.com

We may change any short code or telephone number we use to operate the SMS Service at any time and will notify you of these changes. You acknowledge that any messages, including any STOP or HELP requests, you send to a short code or telephone number we have changed may not be received and we will not be responsible for honouring requests made in such messages. The wireless carriers supported by the Service are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You agree to provide us with a valid mobile number.   To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that we will not be liable for failed, delayed, or misdirected delivery of any information sent through the SMS Service, any errors in such information, and/or any action you may or may not take in reliance on the information or SMS Service.

9. Transferring Personal Data to the US or EU

The personal information Grenade^® collects from you is stored in one or more databases hosted by third parties located in the United Kingdom. These third parties do not use nor have access to your personal information for any purpose other than cloud storage and retrieval.

Grenade^®’s email services are provided by Mailgun based in the United States. We are satisfied that they have appropriate technological and organisational measures in place to reflect the provisions of GDPR and, in the UK. UKGDPR. In addition, where distributors are based in the United States and you have contracted with that distributor, information we collect from you may be processed in the United States. The United States has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union nor the UK under Article 45 of the GDPR and UKGDPR. Grenade relies on derogations for specific situations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR and UKGDPR. In particular, Grenade^® collects and transfers to the U.S. Personal Data only: with your consent; to perform a contract with you; or to fulfil a compelling legitimate interest of Grenade^® in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. Grenade^® endeavours to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your Personal Data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with Grenade and the practices described in this Privacy Notice. Grenade also minimizes the risk to your rights and freedoms by not collecting nor storing sensitive information about you.

10. Security of your Personal Data

To help protect the privacy of data and personally identifiable information you transmit through use of this site, we maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards. We update and test our security technology on an ongoing basis. We restrict access to your Personal Data to those employees who need to know that information to provide benefits or services to you. In addition, we train our employees about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your information. We commit to taking appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce our employees' privacy responsibilities.

11. Retention Period

We shall retain and store your Personal Data securely and for as long as necessary in order to fulfil our and our distributors’ (where applicable) contracts with you. Where we have been provided with your mobile telephone number in order to arrange delivery, that telephone number shall only be retained for a maximum of one calendar month after delivery. We shall then only retain other Personal Data for as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations and legitimate interests under relevant law or where you have asked us to retain your details for repeat orders.

For more information on where and how long your Personal Data is stored, and for more information on your rights of erasure and portability, please contact the Grenade^®’s data protection officer at dpo@grenade.com.

12. Terms of Service and Cookies

As is true of most other websites, the Grenade’s website collects certain information automatically and store it in log files. The information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, browser type, operating system and other usage information about the use of the Grenade’s website, including a history of the pages you view.

Cookies make web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences so that we can use the saved information to facilitate your use of our website when you return to the website. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you will find that most major websites use them.

We use cookies to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

Please see our Cookie Policy For More Detail.

13. Klarna

In order to be able to offer you Klarna’s payment options, we will pass to Klarna certain aspects of your personal information, such as contact and order details, in order for Klarna to assess whether you qualify for their payment options and to tailor the payment options for you.

General information on Klarna you can find here. Your personal data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection law and in accordance with the information in Klarna’s privacy policy.

14. Changes to our Privacy Policy

If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page. We reserve the right to amend the Privacy Notice and Terms of Service at any time, for any reason, without notice to you, other than the posting of the amended Privacy Notice and Terms of Service at this site.
