Dermoi Privacy and Cookies Policy

Dermoi! is a trading name for Ajax UK Platform Operations Limited (“Dermoi!”, “we”, “us” or “our”), a private limited company, registered in England and Wales with company number 11120537, and a registered office address at 5 Lower Grosvenor Place, London SW1W 0EJ. Dermoi! is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

When you use the Dermoi! website (our “Website”), purchase products through the Website or book appointments through our Website (together, with any other services we might provide to you, the “Dermoi! Platform”), we will collect, store and process certain data. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) sets out the basis on which the personal data collected from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand how we will use your personal data.
For the purpose of data protection legislation in the UK, we are the controller of your personal data. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal information about you.

We may update this policy at any time but if we do so, we will provide you with an updated copy of this policy as soon as reasonably practical.

It is important that you read and retain this policy, together with any other privacy policy we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal information about you, so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information and what your rights are under the data protection legislation.
1. What personal data do we collect and process, and how do we use it?

1.1. When you use the Dermoi! Platform you may provide us with the following types of personal data. We collect this personal data where it is necessary in order for us to provide the Dermoi! Platform to you or where it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us. We may collect and process such personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, for the following purposes:

1.1.1. Contact details: This may include name, address, email address and telephone number. This information will be collected by us when you create an account on our Website, purchase products from Website or book an appointment through our Website. We may also collect your email address if you log in through your Facebook account, but we won’t receive any other data from Facebook. We use this information so that we can communicate with you in relation to the products you have purchased, the appointments you have booked and then your relationship with Dermoi! going forward. Where you have opted-in we will also use your contact details to send you marketing material. Certain contact details are also shared with therapists providing treatments to you. This allows the Dermoi! approved therapists to identify you and the location of your chosen address in relation to such treatments.

1.1.2. Treatment profile: When you register with Dermoi! and/or book an appointment for a treatment we will collect your date of birth to allow us to confirm that you are over the age of 18. We will also collect your gender as some of therapists using the Dermoi! Platform can only treat clients of a specific gender and we need to make sure that we match you with the appropriate therapist.

1.1.3. Purchase history: We will keep a record of the products you have purchased from our Website and a record of the appointments you have booked through our Website. This will include a record of any purchases, returns, payments, refunds and details of any referral codes or discount codes used. For the avoidance of doubt, we need this for our accounting and record keeping purposes, however we do not store credit card details nor do we share financial details with any third parties. We will also use this information to optimise our treatment menu from time to time based on the popularity of treatments and to understand the frequency of use of discount and referral codes and to optimise future use of such codes.

1.1.4. Reviews and feedback: You will be invited to submit a review of the therapists who provide treatments and products you have purchased through the Website. We will use this information to improve the Dermoi! Platform.

1.1.5. Correspondence: We will keep records of any correspondence between you and us. This might include emails you send us or phone calls you make to us. It will also include any messages you send to us through functionality on our Website (where available). We will use this as part of our record of our relationship with you and may refer back to queries you had about products or treatments to help us improve the Dermoi! Platform.

1.1.6. Session data: This includes your device’s unique identifier details, device operating system, time zone setting and time/date of access requests, the amount of data transmitted and the requesting provider. We may also capture other information about use of our Website such as pages viewed and traffic patterns. The purpose of collecting session data is to administer, maintain and improve our Website.

1.1.7. Marketing data: We may ask you to participate in marketing or promotional initiatives, for example by contributing to blog posts or being interviewed by members of the media. This is to promote and advertise Dermoi and will only be done with your consent.

1.2. We may also collect, store and process the following “special categories” of more sensitive personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, for the following purposes:

1.2.1. Skin conditions: We will ask you to share information on any skin conditions or health related concerns which you have which might be impacted by the treatments that therapists deliver. This is to ensure that there are no contra-indications or other conditions which might be adversely impacted by the treatments. Following the treatment, therapists will write notes on the treatment and any skin responses or other pertinent information that would benefit your future treatments.

2. Who do we share your personal data with?

2.1. We may need to share your personal data with selected third parties in the following limited circumstances:

2.1.1. Therapists: Certain information that you enter when booking a treatment (including your contact details and information relevant to any skin conditions), as well as information gathered during the treatment and the therapists’ notes referred to in clause 1.2.1, will be viewable and accessible by therapists who have been scheduled to deliver a treatment to you, for a period of time commencing at the point of your booking and ending at the time your treatment ends. This sharing of information is necessary for the completion of booking appointments and the carrying out of treatments.

2.1.2. Third party service providers: This may include providers of certain systems and services that we use to build, host, administer and maintain our Website, third party logistics providers who deliver products to you which you have purchased through the Website, those who assist us in providing the Dermoi! platform and services to clients (including but not limited to back office service providers, our hosting providers and the third party who hosts and/or runs our ecommerce site), external legal, accounting, financial or other professional service providers, or who provide payment services (including but not limited to our banks and direct debit service providers). This will also include email services in order to manage the dissemination of information to therapists and to communicate with you.

2.1.3. To comply with legal or regulatory requests: If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation, we may share your personal data with a regulator or law enforcement agency.

2.1.4. Prospective buyers or sellers: In the event that Dermoi! buys or sells any business or assets, we may disclose your personal data to the prospective buyer or seller of such business or assets. So far as possible we will share anonymised data with the other parties before the transaction completes. If Dermoi! (or substantially all of its assets) is acquired by a third party, your personal data held by Dermoi!, or within such assets, may be transferred to such third party.

2.1.5 Klarna: In order to be able to offer you Klarna’s payment options, we will pass to Klarna certain aspects of your personal information, such as contact and order details, in order for Klarna to assess whether you qualify for their payment options and to tailor the payment options for you. General information on Klarna you can find here. Your personal data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection law and in accordance with the information in Klarna’s privacy policy.

3. Transfers of your personal data

3.1. We will not transfer your personal data outside of the UK, except to selected third parties that we have instructed to help us provide services to you, for example if we utilise cloud-based platforms to store data, which may involve use of geographically distributed data centres.

3.2. Where such transfers are to a country outside the European Union, we rely on one of the European Commission’s adequacy decisions (for example, relying on a Privacy Shield certification where the transfer contains a US entity) or we will use reasonable efforts to put in place appropriate safeguards to cover transfers of your personal data including, for example, signing standard contractual clauses/data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission.

3.3. If there are any other circumstances (for example where we are not processing your personal data in relation to the Dermoi! platform ) which would require us to transfer your personal data outside of the UK, we will seek your consent to transfer your personal data outside of the UK. In the event of such a transfer, where applicable, we will put appropriate safeguards in place to cover transfers of your personal data including, for example, signing standard contractual clauses/data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission, or where applicable, relying on a Privacy Shield certification where the transfer involves a US entity.

4. Data retention

4.1. We take appropriate measures to ensure that your personal data is kept secure. We will store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, financial and good-practice requirements.

4.2. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy which you can request from us by contacting support@dermoi.com.

4.3. In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Accessing Your Personal Data and Your Rights below for further information.
