PACKAGING PROMISE TERMS + CONDITIONS AND PRIVACY POLICY

The Packaging Promise (“PP”) is a sustainable initiative, encouraging PR firms and in-house teams to reduce waste packaging in industry mailers.

There are two divisions within the PP.

The first, ‘Receivers’, requires individuals who wish to receive less packaging to subscribe and use a PP Receiver Stamp on their email signatures and all social platforms.
The second, ‘Senders’, requires organisations who send numerous packages to purchase our boxes – sourced by DS Smith ePack – and use them as their predominant mailing service provider.

MARKETING: HOW TO MANAGE THE MARKETING MESSAGES YOU RECEIVE

We may send you marketing communications by email if you have indicated that you are happy to receive such emails or if you have placed an order via packagingpromise.com and you have not told us that you no longer wish to receive marketing emails. Our marketing communications include information about our new and existing services, special offers we think you might like and other emails about services we think might be of interest for you.

You can update your preferences at any time. You can also opt out of receiving marketing emails by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of all our marketing emails.

Please note that if you tell us that you do not wish to receive marketing emails, you will still receive service emails which are necessary, for example: to confirm your order, update you on dispatch timings, etc.

Please note that if you ask us to stop sending marketing emails, we will keep a note of your personal information and your request so that we can make sure you are excluded from the emails when they are sent out.

HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR DATA

We keep your data only for as long as we need it. How long we need data depends on what we are using it for, whether that is to provide services to you, for our own legitimate interests or so that we can comply with the law.

We will actively review the information we hold and when there is no longer a customer, legal or business need for us to hold it, we will either delete it securely or in some cases anonymise it.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR DATA

We protect your personal data against unauthorised access, unlawful use, accidental loss, corruption or destruction.

We use technical measures such as encryption, firewalls and password protection to protect your data and the systems they are held in. We also use operational measures to protect the data, for example by limiting the number of people who have access to the databases in which our customer and order information is held.

We keep these security measures under review and refer to industry security standards to keep up to date with current best practice.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

Our customers’ information is a vital part of our business and we will never share your data to any other company or entity unless it is required to run our business efficiently.

The Packaging Promise only shares data in the following cases:

Service providers: we use other companies’ services to deliver our proposed products to you, including storage, fulfilment, payment processing, email delivery, postal delivery and customer services. They only have access to information needed to perform their functions but cannot use it for any other purposes.
Product reviews and feedback data: we share aggregate data that we receive through product feedback and reviews with brands who work with us. Individual data will not be shared in any event. An important part of your packaging promise experience is your product feedback: these opinions are shared with other customers on the website and brands in question.
Affiliated businesses: we work closely with our supplier, DS Smith ePack to offer you the best deals and prices. In some cases, order fulfilment is done directly by brands to minimise cost. We redirect you to their website to place your order. Therefore, please read DS Smith Privacy Policy when ordering your boxes. We are not liable for this. Please check LIABILITY chapter within our Terms & Conditions.
Protection of packagingpromise.com: we will share customer account data if required to comply with the law or to enforce our Terms & Conditions and other agreements. This can include exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection or credit risk.

SENDING DATA OUTSIDE OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

We will only send data outside of the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) to work with our agents and advisers who we use to deliver services to you or to comply with a legal duty. If we do transfer data outside the EEA, we will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it were being used in the EEA. We will use one of the following safeguards to ensure that it is protected:

Transfer the data to a non-EEA country which has privacy laws at least as protective as those within the EEA
Put in place a contract with the recipient of the data which means the recipient must protect the data to the same standards as required within the EEA, or
Transfer it to organisations which are part of the Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is a framework which sets out the standards for data to be sent between the United States and European countries. The Privacy Shield ensures that data is protected to the same standards as used within the EEA.

YOUR RIGHTS

You are entitled to see copies of all personal data held by us and to amend, correct or delete such data. You can also limit, restrict or object to the processing of your data. You can log in to your packaging promise account to update the details held there.

If you gave us your consent to use your data, e.g. so that we can send you marketing emails, you can withdraw your consent. Information about how to stop receiving marketing communications is set out above under the heading ‘Marketing: How to manage the marketing messages you receive’. Please note that even if you withdraw your consent, we can still rely on the consent you gave as the lawful basis for processing your data before you withdrew your consent.

You can object to our use of your data where we rely on our legitimate interests to do so.

To raise any objections or to exercise any of your rights, you can send an email to us at enquiries@packagingpromise.com you can write to us at Data Protection Officer Packaging Promise, Pure PR , 3-4a Little Portland Street, London, W1W 7JB

When you get in touch, we will come back to you as soon as possible and where possible within one month. If your request is more complicated, it may take a little longer to come back to you, but we will come back to you within two months of your request. There is no charge for most requests, but if you ask us to provide a significant amount of data for example we may ask you to pay a reasonable admin fee. We will require a proof of identity in the form of your username and password. It is therefore very important to keep your username and password secure at all times.

Packaging Promise may change the Privacy Policy and the Terms & Conditions – in the event of a change, the revised policies or terms will be posted on this page. If we make any significant changes to this policy we will notify you here, by email, or with a homepage notice. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you.
