 Lawful Bases for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we only process personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on one or more of the following lawful bases:

Consent

We may rely on your consent where you have given clear permission for us to use your personal data for a specific purpose, such as signing up to our mailing list, agreeing to receive marketing communications, submitting optional sensitive information, or allowing non-essential cookies.

You can withdraw consent at any time.

Contract

We may process your personal data where it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or to provide and administer a product, service, course, workshop, event, download, account, Partner Programme relationship, collaboration, commission payment or resource under a contract with you.

Legal Obligation

We may process personal data where we are required to do so by law, including for accounting, tax, company record-keeping, safeguarding, regulatory, consumer rights or legal compliance purposes.

Legitimate Interests

We may process personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where those interests do not override your rights and freedoms.

This may include improving our services, responding to enquiries, keeping business records, protecting our website and services, preventing misuse and payment fraud, verifying new or changed payout instructions, administering the Partner Programme, monitoring compliance with programme and promotional requirements, managing customer and partner relationships, understanding how people use our website, and communicating with existing customers about similar products or services where legally permitted.

Vital Interests

In rare situations, we may process personal data where it is necessary to protect someone’s life, safety or vital interests.

 

Email Marketing and Communications

We may send you marketing emails, newsletters, updates, resources or offers where you have signed up, given consent, or where we are otherwise permitted to contact you under applicable law.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us directly.

Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not stop necessary transactional or service-related emails, such as order confirmations, purchase access, booking updates, account information, customer support responses or important service notices.

If you apply to or participate in the Partner Programme, we may also send operational communications needed to review your application, complete agreements, verify payout information, administer your affiliate account, communicate programme changes, issue commission statements and manage compliance or off-boarding. These are service or contractual communications, not general marketing emails.

 

Payments and Financial Information

Payments may be processed by trusted third-party payment providers.

We do not store your full card details.

Payment providers may process your payment information in accordance with their own privacy policies and security standards.

We may retain limited payment and transaction information, such as purchase date, product purchased, amount paid, refund status, invoice information and billing details, for accounting, customer service, legal and tax purposes.

 

Affiliate, Partner and Collaborator Information

Where you apply to or participate in the ImPerfect Partner Programme, or enter into another paid partner, collaborator or supplier relationship with us, we may collect your legal or business name, contact details, role or authority, payee address, business or organisation status, VAT status and registration number, and UK bank-account details, including the account holder name, sort code, account number and any applicable building society reference.

We may also collect and create records relating to your application, review outcome, signed agreement, affiliate account, referral links, discount codes, attributed sales, refunds, commission, invoices, payout statements, compliance reviews and communications with us.

We use this information to:

  • Assess applications and collaboration enquiries
  • Take steps before entering into an agreement and administer the agreement once completed
     
  • Verify your identity, authority and nominated payee account
  • Create and manage your affiliate or partner account
  • Track referrals, eligible sales, refunds and commission
  • Calculate and make commission or other agreed payments
  • Maintain accounting, company and tax records
  • Prevent fraud, investigate discrepancies and resolve payment queries
  • Monitor and enforce agreement, disclosure, advertising and brand requirements
  • Manage suspension, termination and off-boarding

Depending on the purpose, our lawful bases are taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in administering the programme or business relationship, maintaining accurate records, protecting payment processes, preventing fraud and protecting our brand and customers.

Access to full payout information is restricted to authorised people and trusted service providers who need it for programme administration, accounting, verification or payment. We do not use payout bank details for marketing and we do not ask for online-banking passwords, PINs, card details, National Insurance numbers or Unique Taxpayer References through the payout form.

For your security, you should not send bank details to us by ordinary email. We may use additional verification steps before accepting new or changed payout instructions and may contact you using details already held on your application or agreement record.

We normally keep full active payout instructions for the duration of the partner relationship and for up to six months after the final payment, unless a dispute, fraud concern or legal requirement means they must be kept longer. Invoices, agreements, commission statements and transaction or accounting records may be retained for the periods described in section 13.

International Data Transfers

Some third-party providers we use may process or store personal data outside the United Kingdom.

Where this happens, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements. This may include using providers with recognised transfer safeguards, contractual protections or other legally approved transfer mechanisms.

 

How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our rights and maintain business records.

  • Full payout instructions, including bank-account details: for the duration of the active relationship and normally up to six months after the final payment, unless a dispute, fraud concern or legal requirement justifies longer retention
  • Signed Partner Programme or collaboration agreements, invoices, commission statements and transaction or accounting records: normally six years after the relationship ends or from the end of the relevant company financial year, as applicable, and longer where legally required
  • Enquiry and customer service records: for a reasonable period after your enquiry is resolved

  • Feedback, reviews and testimonials: until removed, withdrawn or no longer required
  • Website analytics data: for the period set by the relevant analytics provider or cookie settings

When personal data is no longer needed, we will securely delete, anonymise or archive it where appropriate.
