Silver Mushroom Customer Privacy Notice

When you make an enquiry about the goods or services we supply or purchase/order goods or services from us, you will need to provide us with certain personal data relating to you. Your privacy is extremely important to us so we want you to know exactly how we will use that personal data. We’ve set out all the details below.

Our full name is Silver Mushroom Limited. We will be the data controller in respect of any personal data you provide to us. This term “data controller” is a legal phrase used to describe a person or entity that controls the way personal data is used and processed.

As a customer/potential customer of Silver Mushroom, we will ask you to provide us with certain personal information about you when you make an enquiry about our goods or services and/or when you purchase goods or services from us. This information will include:

  • Your name
  • Your address
  • Your email address
  • Your telephone number
  • Your bank details or credit card information (when you actually make an order)
  • Your IP address, cookies and your browsing activity where you use our website

We use the personal information we hold about you for a number of different purposes, which we list below. Under data protection law we need to have a valid legal basis for using your personal information, we also set out below the legal bases which we will be relying upon.

We will use the personal information we hold about you for the following reasons:

  • To provide you with the goods/services you have purchased
  • To enforce our contract with you and inform you of any changes to the contract

In both of these cases the legal basis that we will be relying upon to process your personal information will be because it is necessary for the performance of the contract between us.

We will also use the personal information we hold about you for the following reasons:

  • To provide you with information about goods/services you have enquired about
  • To obtain feedback from you and provide ongoing customer service
  • To deal with any complaints
  • To carry out credit checks where you have applied for credit

In this case our legal basis for processing your personal information will be because the processing is in our legitimate interests, namely to provide you with a high level of service, resolve complaints and to promote our business, or in the case of credit checks to protect our financial position.

We will also use the personal information we hold about you to comply with any regulatory requirements or applicable laws and our legal basis for doing so will be that it is necessary for us to so to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject.

Some of the personal data we request will be because we have a legal or contractual requirement to obtain and use the information or it is necessary for us to obtain the information to be able to enter into a contract with you. Failure to provide such information will prevent us from providing you with such goods and/or services.

While we do not carry out any automated decision-making or profiling in relation to you directly, if you decide to take advantage of one of our finance offers, our finance providers use an automated system to check your credit history and confirm eligibility.

From time to time we will need to share your information with other people and organisations. We will only do so where we have a legitimate legal basis for doing so and in compliance with our obligations under data protection laws.

Your information may be disclosed to other organisations/individuals in the circumstances set out below:

  • Third-Party Service Providers: We use other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, fitting or assembling items, sending postal mail and e-mail, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. Such providers will have access to personal information about you needed to perform those functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
  • Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information is generally one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in this Privacy Notice. Also, in the unlikely event that Silver Mushroom Limited, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
  • Protection of Silver Mushroom Limited and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Silver Mushroom Limited, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations such as the Police, credit reference agencies, professional or regulatory bodies, debt collection and tracing agents for fraud protection, credit referencing and credit risk reduction.

  • To our professional advisers for example our lawyers or accountants when they need it to give us their professional advice
  • To other suppliers where you have shown an interest in their products

To make sure we meet our legal data protection and privacy obligations, we only hold on to your personal data for as long as we actually need it for the purposes we acquired it for in the first place.

This means we will usually keep information relating to any purchase you make for 10 years incase any contractual disputes arise and also to ensure that we have the necessary information to honour any warranties we provide you with and to be able to provide you with part numbers and product information should you wish to order replacements after the expiry of any warranties
