Introduction

Your privacy is important to Hill Biscuits Ltd. This privacy statement provides information about the personal information that Hill Biscuits Ltd collects, and the ways in which Hill Biscuits Ltd uses that personal information.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a new regulation which replaces the Data Protection Regulation (Directive 95/46/EC) The Regulation aims to harmonise data protection legislation across EU member states, enhancing privacy rights for individuals and providing a strict framework within which commercial organisations can legally operate.

Even though the UK has expressed its intention to leave the EU in March 2019, the GDPR will be applicable in the UK from 25th May 2018. The Government intends for the GDPR to continue in UK law post Brexit and has also introduced a Data Protection Bill to replace the current Data Protection Act in due course.

Your rights under the GDPR are set out in this notice.

Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

For the purposes of data protection legislation in force, the data controller is Hill Biscuits Ltd of The Biscuit Works, Smith Street, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, OL7 0DB.
