Personal Information and Communications

We at FRANKS STORES LIMITED (C 15364) of JMA Building, Industry Street, Qormi, Malta,take your privacy very seriously. Please take the time to read through the below before signing overleaf.

WHY DO WE NEED YOUR PERSONAL DATA? – We need your personal data (the information you have provided to us overleaf that identifies you as an individual) to provide you with the requested services namely to provide you with the benefits of subscription to the FRANKS Gold Card Loyalty Scheme as explained in the T&Cs provided. In particular, we need your personal data to:

• Keep track of the Card Holder’s purchase records
• Allocate points according to those purchase records
• Update FRANKS’ profiling of the Card Holder’s preferences so that it may tailor its products and services to better serve its customers

In this case, we will rely on the explicit consent you have provided to us online (in the application form itself ). YOUR CONSENT CAN BE WITHDRAWN AT ANY TIME by contacting us as explained below. However, do note that by withdrawing your consent, we will no longer be able to process your details in connection with the FRANKS Gold Card Loyalty Scheme and you will no longer benefit from this program. This is separate from the consent to receive direct marketing from us (which can also be withdrawn, separately, at any time).

WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH? – Your personal data will be made available to those people in our organisation who need it to carry out their duties and provide you with the services you expect from us. We will not disclose your personal data to any other persons unless we are required to do so by law. Unless we tell you otherwise, your data will at all times remain within the EU/EEA.

FOR HOW LONG WILL WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA? – We will keep your personal data only for as long as necessary (in this case for as long as you remain a member of our FRANKS Gold Card Loyalty Scheme and/or for as long as you choose to receive direct marketing from us). Necessity also depends on legal obligations we may have. For example, if any personal data can be deemed as ‘accounting records’, we are legally obliged to keep those data for ten (10) years. We are also entitled to retain personal data in some cases (as opposed to being obliged to do so). For example, when we believe that the personal data are necessary for us to defend ourselves against civil claims that may be brought against us, we are allowed to keep the data for as long as that risk subsists (this is usually five (5) years from the end of our relationship with you).

WHAT ARE YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS?  – You, as a ‘data subject’ as understood under applicable data protection laws (primarily, the EU General Data Protection Regulation – the GDPR), have a number of rights that are applicable under certain conditions and in certain circumstances, including Your:

– Right of access to your personal data processed by us;
– Right to ask us to rectify inaccurate personal data concerning you;
– Right to have us erase your personal data (‘right to be forgotten’);
– Right to ask us to restrict (that is, store but not further process) Your personal data;
– Right to ask us to provide Your personal data to You in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or (where technically feasible) to have it ‘ported’ directly to another data controller (‘right to data portability’)
– RIGHT TO WITHDRAW ANY CONSENT YOU MAY HAVE GIVEN US AT ANY TIME (as in the case of the consent you provided us overleaf in connection with our FRANKS Gold Card Loyalty Scheme and/or the separate consent you may have given us overleaf for direct marketing – both of which may be withdrawn independently of each other without consequence to you).
– Right to object to our processing your personal data (where there is no consent);
– Right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.
