Our Privacy Policy

This is what you’ve really come here for, isn’t it? The Privacy Policy. Forget that “helping businesses with marketing” stuff, you want to know how we handle _and_ process your data. Well, you’re in the right place.

This rollercoaster ride of a webpage we call “our Privacy Policy” — which, by the way, we absolutely did not just copy from another website — explains how crowww. uses your personal data:

  • How this data is collected.
  • How it is held
  • How it is processed.

This policy also explains your rights under the law relating to your personal data.

As if that’s not enough, it also includes an adorable cat gif:

What is personal data?

Much like A-Level politics essays, all the best privacy policies start with a definition. So… “Personal Data” is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation EU Regulation 2016/679 (the “GDPR”) as “any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier”.

More simply, personal data is any information about you that enables you to be identified.

Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, whether you have a tattoo, electronic location data, who’s your favourite Sugar Babe, other mysterious online identifiers and whether you have a tattoo of your favourite Sugar Babe.

The personal data that we collect is set out below.

Spoiler! It’s mostly not about the Sugar Babes.

Who we are

We are crowww. Our website address is: https://crowww.co.

But you knew that, right? Actually not sure why we’ve included this bit but it was on the other site.

What personal data do we collect?

When you visit our website, we may collect personal data to allow us to undertake our business. Saucy. This personal data may include:

  • Your name.
  • Your email address.
  • Name of your favourite teacher as a child.
  • Your website URL.
  • Your mother’s maiden name.
  • Your telephone number.
  • The IP address of the device used to access https://crowww.co or to communicate with us.
  • And the 3 digit security code on the back of the card.

We collect this information on our website, through:

What are my rights?

A South Park gif? Now we’re shifting gears.

So, under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

  • The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data.
  • The right to access the personal data we hold about you. 
  • The right to roam.
  • The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • The right to be forgotten – that is not as sad as it sounds but actually the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we have. 
  • The right to restrict – that is, prevent – the processing of your personal data. 
  • The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.
  • The right to have an attorney present before and during the questioning.
  • The right to data portability. This means that you can ask us for a copy of your personal data held by us to re-use with another service or business in many cases.
  • Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. However, we do not use your personal data in this way.

What do you use my data for?

We use your data to:

  • Communicate directly with you.
  • Understand how visitors to https://crowww.co use our website.

Cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Understand how visitors to https://crowww.co use our website.
  • Run targetted advertising campaigns on 3rd party websites including Google, Twitter & Facebook.

More details about the cookies we use, how to opt-out of cookies and more incredible gifs can be found in our Cookies Policy.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, articles).

That’s the last gif. We promise 🤞

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited the other website.

These websites may be less scrupulous than us and collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking (Ha! Not for long!), and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data?

Reassuringly, we will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary. This is typically, pfft, I dunno, 5 years? Or sooner if you request we delete it, I guess.

What rights do you have over your data?

I thought we’d done the “I know my rights” stuff already?

Anyway, you can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

If you want to discuss your personal data held by crowww. email us at: dsar@crowww.co

Where we send your data

We will NOT share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes – with one important exception: If we can make huge amounts of cash from it.

Not really.

But in some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.

Which we hope to God we’re not because that sounds like some proper scary stuff.
