What is a Privacy Notice?

A Privacy Notice is a statement by the company to its customers, regulators, the public and staff. It describes how we collect, use, retain and disclose the personal information that we hold.

Why issue a Privacy Notice?

Chama Scents Limited recognises the importance of protecting personal and confidential information in all that we do and takes care to meet its legal and regulatory obligations.

This Notice is one of the ways that we can demonstrate our commitment to the values of being transparent and open. It explains what rights you have to control how we use your information.

We will only process your information if we have a lawful reason to do so. We make sure that you know how we use your information and to tell you about your rights.
We rely on the following specific conditions in Articles 6 and 9 of the GDPR to process your information:

Basic details, such as name, date of birth, address, phone number, mobile number and email address (where you have provided it to us)
Financial information where a transaction is required.

Most of your records are electronic and are held on a computer system and secure IT network.
