We may receive data about you from various categories of third parties, including:

Providers of services which facilitate our ecommerce operations, including ecommerce platforms and payment and fraud prevention services from analytics providers, advertising networks and search information providers; from data partners from your friends who referred you using ‘refer a friend’;from publicly available sources; and from any third parties who are permitted by law or have your permission to share your personal data with us, such as via social media or review sites.

4. Legal basis for processing personal information

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. For example, when you purchase our products, that’s a contract between you and us for us to supply the products to 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. For example, fraud screening as part of the check-out process or keeping our website secure.

Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. For example, keeping records of our sales for tax compliance.

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than where the law requires it, for example in relation to sending certain direct marketing communications. Where our legal basis is consent, you have the right to withdraw consent any time.

5. Advertising, Marketing and your Communications preferences

There are multiple ways you’ll come across adverts for Dare, and these may not be using your personal data – sometimes we buy advertising space in the physical “real world” advertising space, on websites and on social media. If you see Dare adverts on websites and on social media, these may not be directed specifically at you, we may just have bid for the space. We may also be using a search engine or social media platform’s ‘lookalike’ products, which are not directed at you and which you can control using each search engine or social media platform’s privacy settings.

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Tracking, Usage and Profile Data to form a picture of what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you and tell you about them. We may carry out direct marketing by email, phone, text and post. On our website, you may make your direct marketing preferences clear. You may choose to opt in to receive our newsletter, or as part of creating an account. We may also be able to send our customers relevant direct marketing about our own products and services unless they opted out during the purchase journey. We may also send you a little nudge as part of the purchase if you have left products in the basket without checking out. At all times you have a right to opt out of direct marketing. The easiest way to opt out is to use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the communication or just email us at team@dare-liberate.co.uk.

We also work with partners to try and promote the reach of our adverts and use analytics and retargeting for this reason. We use tracking Data to deliver relevant online advertising, including on websites and in social media. Tracking Data, and in particular cookies, help us to deliver website and social advertising that we believe is most relevant to you and to potential new Dare customers. The cookies used for this purpose are often placed on our website by specialist organisations – and this is also why when you’ve been on the dare website, you might see content from our website again. This is called retargeting. Cookies can also tell us if you have seen a specific advert, and how long it has been since you have seen it. This is helpful, because it means we can control the effectiveness of our adverts and control the number of times people might be shown our adverts. Cookies also help us understand if you’ve opened a marketing email because we don’t want to keep sending you things you don’t read or have no interest in.
