What Is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation 2016 (GDPR) is one of the most significant pieces of legislation affecting the way that Despatch Cloud carries out its information processing activities. Significant fines are applicable if a breach is deemed to have occurred under the GDPR, which is designed to protect the personal data of citizens of the European Union. It is Despatch Cloud’s policy to ensure that our compliance with the GDPR and other relevant legislation is clear and demonstrable at all times.

Description of Service

The Service shall be provided to you as set out in the applicable Order Form. Any new features which are subsequently added to the Service during the Term shall also be, unless agreed otherwise in writing, subject to this Agreement. Despatch Cloud Ltd cannot guarantee that the Service will be continuously available as the Service may be unavailable from time to time due to either (a) scheduled downtime for Service upgrades and/or maintenance; and/or (b) any circumstances which are beyond Our control such as technical failures.

What Data Is Passed to Despatch Cloud from Sales Channels?

When a sale happens on a channel such as Amazon or eBay, we download the buyer contact details from the connected API (which includes name, address, contact information such as email and telephone numbers) the customer's delivery and shipping address and the details of the order including and not limited to total price, tax, shipping fees, currency, country ISO, and payment method. We do not ever handle credit or debit card information from these channels.

What Data Does Despatch Cloud Store?

Despatch Cloud does not collect or store any data that is not required for the requirements of the service. We do store sensitive data such as personal information about buyers. This data is stored in ISO 27001 compliant data centers located inside the UK. We have a dedicated team who monitor and manage our infrastructure.

How Long Do We Keep Personal Data?

Despatch Cloud keeps personal data for as long as necessary to function. We also keep personal data for other legitimate business purposes, such as complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Because these needs can vary for different data types used for different purposes, retention times will also vary.

Have you asked us to stop using your data or withdrawn your consent? If needed, we will keep a record of your request so that we can make sure it is respected in the future. To withdraw your consent or for any questions, please contact our support team.

Does Despatch Cloud Pass Customer Data to 3rd Parties?

We share delivery information with third parties such as carriers and accounting services for the purpose of processing subscriptions and processing an order through the system and obtaining shipping labels. We never share information for marketing purposes.

Breach of Data Policy and Your Right to Complain

In line with GDPR, we have a duty to report a personal data breach to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, where feasible. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk of adversely affecting individuals’ rights and freedoms, we will also inform those individuals without undue delay.

If you believe that Despatch Cloud has not complied with your data protection rights, you have the right to make a complaint to the ICO or another relevant supervisory authority.
