How may we use your information?

We collect all of this information from you for a number of different purposes, which we want you to understand – all of these purposes apply wherever beeboon does business, including countries outside your own. A number of specific uses for specific data is already detailed above. But we often need to use lots of different types of information or data collectively in order for beeboon to work and in order to be able to provide the Services to you. These more fundamental purposes include the collective use of your information:

• To set up, and manage your account, so you can place orders, so we can provide our products and services to you, so we can make sure that the items you order get to you (and get there on time!), so we can communicate with you about your orders and your account, so we can track potential problems and trends, and customise our support responses to better serve you. It’s everything involved in putting the products on the website, so you can browse them and then order them, and so we can then deliver them to you and answer any questions or queries you may have.
• To ensure that our users are genuine and to ensure that we are paid for goods that we despatch – for example, by using personal information, or disclosing that personal information to a credit reference or fraud prevention agency, in order to confirm your identity and conduct appropriate anti-fraud checks. Any such credit reference or fraud prevention agency may keep a record of that information but please note that a formal credit check is not performed and your credit rating will not be affected.
• To update you on our latest products, news and special offers - if you have registered with us or provided us with your email address and elected to receive marketing communications from us, we will occasionally update you on our latest products, news and special offers via e-mail, post, and push notifications.
• To send services communications about things like service availability, security, and other issues about the functioning. You may/will receive service messages even if have unsubscribed from our mailing list because they usually contain important information about your account, security or the Services which we need to make you aware of. You cannot opt out of service messages for this reason.
• To target beeboon banners and ads to you when you’re on certain other websites (what’s called Digital Marketing Re-targeting) – we do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges, and advertising technologies like web beacons, pixels, ad tags, cookies, and mobile identifiers, and the banners and ads you will see will be based on your previous use of beeboon website.
• To carry out polls, surveys, analysis and research on how our site is being used, customer views, what we could do better etc.
• To make beeboon products and services better and to develop new ones. We may use site statistical information and log data, to help it identify potential areas to improve the services we offer.
