Your personal information is important to us; we value your privacy and we safeguard all Personal and User Information. We aim to comply with all GDPR and Consumer Legislation.

This Privacy Policy explains how LHR Holding Limited collects and uses your personal data when you browse our website and actively provide your Personal Information or when you make a purchase online.

We do not hold your payment details after the transaction has occurred through the payment gateway. We will retain a record of your purchasing history.

Who Do We Share Your Information With?
Some of our services require other partners to process. We may need to share your information in order for our partners to perform these activities – for example to verify that a transaction is not fraudulent, to administer your card payment, and to deliver your items to you. These companies adhere to all the same GDPR legal obligations with regard to safeguarding your information. However, we will remain responsible by contractual agreement for what they do with all information.

Operational Overview - Who Do We Share Your Data With?
We hand over your name, contact and delivery address details to our assigned delivery companies. It may also be necessary for our assigned delivery partner to take a photo of the outside of your property to demonstrate that we were in the right location at the right time to fulfil your order. This photograph will not be published nor circulated nor used for any other purpose other than to verify that a delivery was made or attempted at your address.

Currently, we use the following couriers and hand over your personal details to them as part of their contractual agreement with us to fulfil and deliver your order:

  • Hermes

Where Is Your Data Processed?
We do not process your data outside of the European Economic Area.

How Long Do We Store Your Data?
We’ll only keep your data for as long as it necessary to fulfil our services and no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which the personal data was processed. At the end of that period, the data will be permanently deleted so it cannot be used for any business-related activity or purpose.

Site Security
Our website is SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certified. SSL is a transparent protocol. You can tell if a site is using SSL when a padlock is displayed or the address bar shows the URL as “HTTPS” instead of “HTTP.” SSL encrypts the data sent between your web browser and the terminating server.

Our website is PCI DSS compliant. All payment details are encrypted and handed over directly to our payment gateway provider and are not held anywhere. PCI DSS compliance ensures there are no vulnerabilities within the browser and on the physical server itself.

What Choices Do You Have?
You have the right to ask us not to process your information for marketing purposes.

If you do not want us to contact you for marketing purposes, you can unsubscribe to these services, by clicking the unsubscribe link in any Lewis’s email.

If you don’t want cookies to track you then the Information Commissioners website has some helpful suggestions https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies/.
