WHO WE ARE

Nutri-Genetix provides convenient, high quality natural nutrition products that are genetically personalised to you.

Nutri-Genetix is the data controller responsible for this website. Being the data controller means we are responsible for deciding why and how we use personal data in our business.

HOW WE COLLECT DATA

There are lots of different ways in which we may collect data, or receive data, and you can see an explanation of the main ways below.

You may give us data when you interact with us

You may give us data by filling in forms, corresponding with us or using our products or services. This includes data you provide when you:

sign up to receive our newsletter;
make enquiries or request information be sent to you;
create an account on our website;
order our products;
provide a saliva sample for DNA testing;
ask for direct marketing to be sent to you;
use ‘refer a friend’;
participate in our forum;
engage with us on social media;
enter a competition, promotion or survey;
contact customer services; or
leave comments or reviews on our products or services.

We may get some data automatically

As you interact with us, including via the Nutri-Genetix website and social media channels, we may automatically collect data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We may also collect data when you click on one of our adverts (including those shown on third party websites or via social media).

We may obtain some data from third parties

We may receive data about you from various categories of third parties, including:

from providers of services which facilitate our ecommerce operations, including ecommerce platforms and payment and fraud prevention services;
from analytics providers, advertising networks and search information providers; from data partners;
from your friends who referred you using ‘refer a friend’;
from publicly available sources; and from any third parties who are permitted by law or have your permission to share your personal data with us, such as via social media or review sites.

TYPES OF PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

This personal data we collect falls into these categories:

Identity Data includes title, gender, first name, maiden name, last name, date of birth, username or similar identifier and your login/password. If you interact with us through social media, this may include your social media user name.
Contact Data includes billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers.
Genetic Information Data – includes personal information related to your genotype (e.g. A, T, C, and G at different genetic markers), generated through the analysis of your saliva test which will be processed by us. The genetic variants identified enable us to personalise our product to your DNA. We will not report on anything outside of these markers including but not limited to infectious agents, biomarkers of disease or any other clinical or medical significance. Once your results have been generated, any sample is securely destroyed as per our lab quality manual and process.
Financial Dataincludes payment card and direct debit/bank account details.
Transaction Dataincludes details about payments to and from you and other details of products and services you have purchased from us.
Profile Dataincludes your username and password, purchases or orders made by you, your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses, as well as any profile data which we have added (for example, using analytics and profiling).
Technical Dataincludes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.
Usage Dataincludes information about how you use our website, products and services, and any of the content you contribute to the forum.
Tracking Dataincludes information we or others collect about you from cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, and mobile identifiers.
Marketing and Communications Dataincludes your preferences in receiving direct marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature.

However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

Any Information collected by us will be held by Nutri-Genetix as a Controller. Information will only be used for the Purposes as described in this Privacy Policy and any additional Consent Document or agreement that we may enter with you. You agree to these Purposes when you formally acknowledge the Consent Document. If you choose not to share personal data with us, or refuse certain contact permissions, we might not be able to provide the products and services you’ve asked for.

Nutri-Genetix does not provide direct to consumer Services directly to anyone under the age of 18 (eighteen) years old or as otherwise provided by the rules of a member state of the European Union or other Applicable Law, and therefore does not knowingly Process Information for such Data Subjects ("Children's Personal Information"). All reasonable effort is made to ensure Users are not under age, but should we discover a User to be under the age threshold then this would be considered a violation of the Terms of Service and all agreements with such User will be terminated, Services revoked, and Children's Personal Information will be deleted as detailed in the Data retention section of this Privacy Statement.

EXPLAINING THE LEGAL BASES FOR USING PERSONAL DATA

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

Where we need to perform the contractwe are about to enter into or have entered into with you. For example, when you purchase our products, that’s a contract between you and us for us to supply the products to you.
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests(or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. For example, fraud screening as part of the check-out process or keeping our website secure.
Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. For example, keeping records of our sales for tax compliance.

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than where the law requires it, for example in relation to sending certain direct marketing communications. Where our legal basis is consent, you have the right to withdraw consent any time.

See How and why we use your personal data below for more detailed information.

COOKIES

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store via your browser.

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.

We use the following categories of cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies which are needed to make the website work properly. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log in, use a shopping cart or make secure payments.
Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website relevant to your interests and for advertising and retargeting purposes. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). These also allow us to tell if you’ve left any products in your basket without checking out.
Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website relevant to your interests and for advertising and retargeting purposes. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

Please be aware that if you delete your cookies, two things will happen:

We will no longer know that you've opted out of online behavioural advertising, so our adverts will still appear to you on other websites.
We will no longer automatically recognise any website preferences that you have set.

You can read the full Shopify privacy here; in particular see the section about Information from buyers.

If you have any questions about the Shopify privacy policy you can contact them directly.
