Privacy Policy
Commitment to Privacy
Thank you for visiting the Richplanet website.
Protecting consumer privacy is very important to Richplanet. The Online Privacy Policy Statement is available to inform you
about the collection and use of personal information so that you can make informed choices about how your own
information is collected and used. This Online Privacy Statement reflects the Richplanet policies covering
personal information collected at this website on or after the 25th April 2018 shown above.
As per GDPR requirements, Richplanet only collect and use personal information required to provide the functionality and services
required for business. In line with GDPR and other data protection requirements, Richplanet has adopted measures to allow
the freedom of access to and control of personal data that it requires.
Collection of Information
Richplanet collects personal information in order to provide goods and services to customers. Information is obtained
from a variety of sources:
· Directly from customer applications, questionnaires and other materials submitted by customers;
· From transactions in which Richplanet and consumers are involved; and
· From clickthru activity on the website
As per GDPR requirements, all optional (non-essential) offers of additional communication or collection of information
are unselected by default, and must be specifically selected to be opted-in at time of submission. These options will
have sufficient information clearly displayed as to their purpose.
PLEASE NOTE : The website contains two seperate entities which can collect data from customers.
They are the online shop, which is accessed from www.richplanet.net/store, and the general information website, which is
www.richplanet.net. The information website does not sell or disctribute products. When customers register for the online shop
they have the option to register for newsletters. This can be cancelled at any time by de-selecting the option from their
account menu. Registering for Newsletters via the general information website is seperate from the online shop and the data is held in
a seperate database. In order to un-register for the general information website Newsletter the user can click the "Unsubscribe" link
in the top right corner of the website (www.richplanet.net). The user is taken to a page where they can unregister their
email address and their address will be deleted from the database.
At any point, the customer retains the ability to UNSUBSCRIBE from the general newsletter described above or unsubscribe from the online shop
newsletter by un checking the tick box in their account.
Example
The offer to subscribe to newsletters is by default not selected when a customer registers on the onlins shop. Customers must
specifically and deliberately select this option by checking the box which will be clearly identified as to its purpose.
(e.g. 'Subscribe to Newsletter' or similar).
Disclosure of Information
Richplanet does not disclose customer (personal) information to third parties other than in the process of directly providing
a product or service as is the purpose of the website.
Example
Customers placing orders for goods will clearly understand that required details such as name, address and postcode will need
to be passed on to third parties such as courier or postage companies in order for them to fulfil your order. In addition,
where appropriate additional personal information may be provided such as telephone number or email where these will also
assist with or enhance the fulfilment of your order.
Other Possibilities
There are some circumstances where disclosures to third parties that are outside the scope of normal 'processing of customer
orders' is required. For example, to effect, administer or enforce a transaction requested by you, or to companies that perform
services for us or to prevent fraud.
Recipients of Information
Richplanet may disclose consumer information to companies affiliated with Richplanet and to companies or other parties not
affiliated with Richplanet (subject to consumers' opt-out rights)
These recipients include:
· Financial institutions, such as banks, credit card companies and brokerage houses;
· Companies that process transactions or provide other services for us;
· Government agencies; and
· In addition, under United Kingdom law Richplanet is permitted to disclose customer information to certain recipients,
like credit reporting.
Richplanet Commitments
We are committed to protecting the confidentiality of personal consumer information.
Richplanet limits access to personal information to those employees of Richplanet and its affiliates who need it to fulfill their
business responsibilities. Employees must adhere to Richplanet privacy policies. Employees violating these policies may be
subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Vendors and other outside contractors we engage are subject to
our contractual requirements to ensure that sensitive personal information is safeguarded.
We use appropriate security safeguards.
At Richplanet, security is a priority. We employ appropriate measures to protect consumer information against unauthorized access,
disclosure, alteration or destruction. These may include, among others, encryption, physical access security and other appropriate
technologies. Richplanet continually reviews and enhances its security systems, as necessary.
We maintain procedures to assure the quality of information we collect and where applicable, we will inform consumers about how
they can access their personal information and make corrections if necessary.
Richplanet employs appropriate measures to assure the quality of information we collect directly from consumers. Where Richplanet
collects information directly from consumers or sources other than our business customers, we permit them, if possible,
to dispute or correct any erroneous or out-of-date personally identifiable information. Of course, this correction would not
be possible if the information is proprietary to one of our business customers, reflects historical transaction information
or if correction would violate the privacy or legal rights of a third party. Where applicable, we abide by laws related to
such information. You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a written request
to richard@richplanet.net that credibly shows error. We reserve the right to independently verify claims made. To protect your privacy and security,
we also will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before making corrections. We provide this service unhindered and
free of charge within reasonable limits, however, to prevent over-burdening of our systems, there may be daily limits imposed
on the number of such free transactions we can process per customer.

GDPR Statement
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires customers have control over their personal data.
Regarding use of the Richplanet website, when a user is logged into their Richplanet online shop account, they can
modify the personal data held about them by clicking on "ACCOUNT" on the top menu bar.
This is required for GDPR compliance with respect to personal data, namely;
Your Right to Data Rectification
Your Right to Data Portability
Your Right to Restriction of Processing
Your Right to Access of Personal Data
Your Right to Be Forgotten (please email richard@richplanet.net if you wish to have your account deleted)
Richplanet GDPR Audit
In addition to the above user account facility, Richplanet has performed an audit and revision of data handling procedures
to ensure GDPR Compliance;
Appointed Richard Hall (Sole Proprietor) to the role of Data Protection Officer (DPO).
Confirmed that Richplanet do not collect personal customer data unnecessarily.
Confirmed that Richplanet suppliers who might be exposed to our customers personal data are themselves GDPR compliant.
Put necessary procedures in place to comply with GDPR and data protection requirements.
Ensured all staff are aware of and comply with necessary Data Protection Requirements.
Ongoing GDPR Compliance
The process of ensuring data security is ongoing and Richplanet will periodically review implementation to ensure ongoing compliance
or if any changes are made to regulatory requirements in this area. We have implemented SSL on our website which means when
we collect any data from visitors or customers, the data is securely encrypted when it is transmitted from the user to our secure
server.
Richplanet Track Record Regarding Personal Data
Richplanet has always strived to minimize the exposure of our customers personal data.
By programming and maintaining our own website and sourcing and managing the hosting ourselves, we absolutely minimize the number
of people who can potentially access customer data. Because website hosting is a complicated business, Richplanet has chosen a
well-established, trusted supplier for this service. We draw on their industry-leading expertise in hosting technology to
ensure that our data is safe and secure.
We have no external trackers on our websites. Many e-commerce websites are full of trackers that are constantly gleaning your
browsing behaviour (personal data) in the background. These range from advertisments to social media to analytics software.
If you install a browser extension that blocks or highlights these trackers, you may be amazed at how much this happens with
most other websites out there. On our websites you will see zero!
