Valenti’s App Privacy Policy

Valenti’s mobile application is owned and operated by Gelato-Artisan Ltd, who are the controller of all stored data.

PepperHQ Ltd operate as a processor of data for Valenti’s App.

This policy, together with our MOBILE APP TERMS OF USE, explain how we may use

information we collect about you, as well as your rights over any personal

information we hold about you. Please read this policy and our MOBILE TERMS OF USE

carefully.

Information we collect about you through Valenti’s App.

We collect information about you when you:

– register to use Valenti’s App;

– attempt to check in to our stores;

– register your debit or credit card details;

– upload a profile photo, and

– use the payments facility in Valenti’s App to pay for your purchase.

This information is collected, stored and processed under Article 6(1)(b) of the

GDPR, “processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data

subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior

to entering into a contract” i.e. We need this data for you to be able to use the

App for it’s primary purposes.

Using your information

Collecting personal information in Valenti’s App (name, email address, date of

birth) helps us to better understand what you need from us.

We use your information to:

– improve the functionality and performance of Valenti’s App;

– personalize our services to you;

– tell you about important changes to Valenti’s App and related services, and

– manage promotions, competitions, customer surveys and questionnaires.

Your personal information is safe with us and will never be released to third party

companies for marketing purposes.

Valenti’s App captures your geographic location when you attempt to “check in” to

one of our stores. We do this to identify which store you are in or near to allow

you to pay using Valenti’s App, and to provide an enhanced visitor experience (for

example, through digital loyalty cards). We will only capture this information with

your consent. Valenti’s App also captures basic usage metrics to help us identify

any problems and to make improvements in the future. These metrics also help us

understand how people use Valenti’s App and how many people use the different

functions within Valenti’s App.

Your contact details and personal information may be used to send direct marketing

messages to you via your contact details provided. This is done only with your

explicit consent, which can be withdrawn at any time from the My Account

options within the app. You may refuse consent for marketing messages without

detriment to any other areas of functionality within the app.

Information We Capture

Geographic location

We provide enhanced store visit experiences when you choose to pay using Valenti’s

App. You may prevent Valenti’s App from accessing your device's location

services, or turn off the location services of your Mobile Device. Doing so will

impact the capability of Valenti’s App and prevent you from enjoying an enhanced

experience.

Data you share with us (Including information you give us when signing up, and

information which is shared automatically, such as Device ID, and IP address)

We use this data to log you in to Valenti’s App and it helps us understand our

customers better and present you with appropriate offers and promotions. Your data

is stored in an encrypted database and transferred over a secure network

connection. You decide which data you do and do not share with us. If you ask us

to, we will update, correct or delete any data which you give to us.

Your card details are not stored on Valenti’s App and they are only used in

accordance with your payment instructions. Your card details are stored with our

payment gateway partner – Square – who are a Level 1 certified PCI-DSS Service

Provider. You have to use the payments facility within Valenti’s App to pay for

your purchase through the app.

Your profile photo

Your profile photo is used in store to verify your identity. If you ask us to, we

will update, correct or delete your profile photo. However, you must have a profile

photo if you wish to use Valenti’s App to pay for your purchases in-store.

Your purchase history

We use your purchase history to provide personalised offers and analyse which

products and rewards are most likely to interest you.

Data storage, protection and your right to access and erasure

Your data is stored in an encrypted database and transferred over secure network

connections. We will store your information for as long as your account exists in

Valenti’s App. If your user account is entirely inactive for a period of 12 months

or more, we will delete your account. If you ask us to, or if you delete your

account, we will delete the information linked to your account which can identify

you personally, including your profile photo and personal details.

You may ask us, at any time, to provide to you confirmation that your data is being

processed and access to your personal data. This will generally be provided within

7-21 working days.
