4. How will we use your personal information?
A. What is the legal basis for using your personal information? United Kingdom The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on 25 May 2018. Under GDPR, we need to be clear about your legal basis for collecting personal information. The Data Protection Act 2018 is the UK’s implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR and is the UK's implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will ensure that we will treat all personal information in accordance with data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018.
EU Countries The General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (‘GDPR’) that was implemented May 25, 2018 and requires organizations to safeguard personal data and uphold the privacy rights of anyone in EU territory.
Although we process the personal data of EU citizens or residents, or we offer services to such people, the GDPR applies to you even if you are not in the EU. GDPR Regulation applies to the processing of personal data in the context of the activities of an establishment of a controller or a processor in the Union, regardless of whether the processing takes place in the Union or not.
Russia HMM website is also targeting customers in Russia and the GDPR’s requirements and this policy do not contradict Russian data privacy regulations, as such this policy is to be followed also by this country customers and visitors.
This is because the GDPR covers not only data controllers in the EU, but also businesses in any country that target individuals who are in the EU. The GDPR does not require the adoption of relevant regulations at the national level and applies directly to data controllers.
We will only process your personal information when the law allows us to. In most cases, we will process your personal information where it is necessary:
  • To perform the contract we have entered into with you (e.g. addresses to determine product collection / delivery sites and bank details in order to pay suppliers) (basis 1); or for our legitimate interests as a business (e.g. membership management and identification) (basis 2).
Where we rely on basis 2 as a reason for processing personal information, we have considered whether those interests are overridden by data subjects' rights and freedoms and have concluded that they are not. We may also process your personal information in the following circumstances, but this is likely to be rare:
  • with your specific consent; or
  • where it is needed in the public interest.
B. What is the purpose for processing your personal information? We need all the personal information listed in 2B above. We process your personal information for a number of purposes, including but not limited to the following (in relation to each, we have also identified the legal basis for processing your personal information by reference to each legal basis set out in 4A above):
  • to manage inquiries and requests (1, 2);
  • to provide HMM products and services (1); and
  • to deal with legal disputes (2).; and
  • health & safety compliance (1, 2); and
  • customs and excise (1, 2)
Some of the grounds for processing will overlap, and in some cases, there will be several grounds which justify our use of your personal information.
C. Change of purpose We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider we need to use it for another purpose that is compatible with the original purpose.
If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the basis upon which that is necessary.
