PRIVACY STATEMENT
Welcome to our privacy statement.
Summary
We respect your privacy, and we are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy statement will explain how we use and look after your personal data when you are a customer or you:
• Visit our website: (regardless of where you visit it from).
• [Use any of our apps.]
• [Call us, write to us or communicate with us in any way.
• [Visit our premises].
This privacy statement does not apply to you if you work for us or are applying to work for us. In that case, we will provide separate privacy statements that set out that relationship with you. [For example, if you use our job application forms via the links on our website.]
This privacy statement also tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
When we say “we”, “us” or “TLC”, that means the company “TLC – Tender Loving care UK Ltd”. When we say Chewy Vites that refers to the product and brand that is owned by TLC.
Where we collect information about you, if that information is about you, or can be used by us or organisations with which we work to find out about you, it is known as “personal data”.
In line with the law, this privacy statement tells you what types of personal data we hold about you, what we use it for, why we are allowed to use it in that way and what your legal rights are.
The rules about personal data are complex. If you need help understanding anything in this privacy statement, please contact us at info@cheywvites.com.
The simple version is this:
• We collect information about you, including contact details (like your email address), when you give us that information on our website and when you call us or communicate with us. [We also collect other information, for example, [via cameras at our offices to make sure that our premises are safe places].]
• We treat the information that we hold about you very carefully. We do our best to make sure that information about you does not go to the wrong people or to people who might not look after that information properly.
• If you ask us to do certain things with the information that we hold about you, we must usually do what you ask and you do not usually have to pay for this. Those things include:
o Giving you a copy of the information that we hold about you.
o Putting right any mistakes in the information that we hold about you.
o Stopping using information about you or deleting it.
If you want to ask us to do any of these things, or you have any questions or concerns, you can contact us at info@chewyvites.com. If you still have concerns, you can also contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”). This is the organisation in charge of making sure that we do the right things with your personal data.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
- Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data that we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
- Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data that we hold about you corrected, although we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data that you give us.
- Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons that will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
- Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this basis because you feel that it affects your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information that override your rights and freedoms.
- Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
- If yu want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
- Where ur use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
- Where yu need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it because you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
- Yu have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
- Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party whom you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information that you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
