How and why do we use your information?

We may use the information we collect from you in the following ways:

To improve our website

We will also process your personal data in order to provide you with a more effective user experience (such as by displaying or emailing goods we believe you will be interested in, based on your purchase history and browsing habits). This processing means that your experience of our site will be more tailored to you, and that the products you see on our site may differ from someone accessing the same site with a different purchase history or browsing habits. We also use various cookies to help us improve our site (more details are set out below), and share your personal data with third party analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site. We will also process your personal data for the purposes of making our site more secure, and to administer our site and for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, statistical and survey purposes. The legal basis on which we process your data in these circumstances is our legitimate interest to provide you with the best customer experience we can, and to ensure that our site is kept secure. The use of non-essential cookies is subject to your consent. You can also prevent us from using your personal data in this way by contacting us at hello@camnutra.com, or by using the 'do not track' functionality in your internet browser. If you enable such do not track functionality, our site may be less tailored to your needs and preferences.

To fulfil orders

We will also process your personal data in order to fulfil any orders which you may place on our website. The information we collect from you will include your name, address, email address, phone number and payment details. We need to process your personal information in this way to enter into and perform the contract for the item(s) you have purchased from us.

To communicate & interact directly with you

We may also process your personal data in order to provide various supporting customer services to you (such as where you contact us with a question in connection with a product). The information we collect from you will include your name, address, email address, phone number and any other details you provide to us. We rely on your consent to handle your personal information in this way. If you do not provide us with the personal data we request from you for customer services purposes, we may not be able to fully answer your queries.

For marketing purposes

Where you have opted in via our site to receive marketing communications from us, or where you have not opted out of receiving communications from us, we will process your personal data and may share your personal data with marketing agencies, advertising networks and analytics providers, to provide you with marketing communications relating to our products and services which are similar to those which you have purchased or shown an interest in. When we send you marketing communications and have not created an account or purchased with us, this is because you have opted-in to receive them, we rely on your consent to contact you for marketing purposes. If you have created an account and/ or purchased with us, we send you marketing communications, we do this because you have shown a legitimate interest in the goods and services of Cambridge Nutraceuticals Ltd. You can opt-out of your personal data being processed in this way at any time by contacting us hello@camnutra.com, changing the settings in your online account or, where relevant, by following the unsubscribe link in every marketing communication you receive from us.

To improve what we know about our customers, and how to help them

We may analyse what you are interested in, with a view to helping other customers like you find products that will interest them. Your details will not be passed to any third party for marketing purposes, unless you specifically give us your consent by opting in to third party communications.

Information we receive from other sources

We may have received information about you from third-party partners such as Mention Me (refer-a-friend), Rakuten (affiliate network), advertising and market research partners who provide us with information about your interest in and engagement with, companies offering similar products or services to us. We may combine the information we collect about you with the information that you have provided to us. We will only process the information we collect about you on the basis of the consent that you gave the relevant third party to share the information with us (unless the information is aggregated and anonymous, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you).

Do we give your information to anyone else?

We may share your personal information with our trusted supplier, Mention Me, who assist us in our data processing activities to allow us to offer a refer-a-friend scheme. You can find more details about the information we share by visiting the Mention Me privacy policy. By submitting the email addresses of friends, the referrer represents that he/she has their prior consent.

We may share your personal information with our affiliate network partner, Rakuten, when you are referred or transact with us in order to determine referral fees or commissions owed. You can find more details about their service by visiting the privacy policy.

We do not sell or trade your information with anyone. We do share your data from time to time with service providers who help us to deliver the interests of Cambridge Nutraceuticals Ltd. For example, we might share your details with subcontractors who are involved in the purchase and delivery process, such as payment and postal providers, or with marketing agencies or subcontractors so that they could send emails on our behalf. We will never share your information with anyone else so that they can market their products or services to you unless you have given your consent for us to do so. The extent and circumstances in which we might share your details with 3rd parties is set out in detail in this privacy policy.

What happens if our business is sold?

We will transfer your personal data to a third party:

  • in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we will disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets (at all times in accordance with data protection legislation); or

  • if Cambridge Nutraceuticals Ltd or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by Cambridge Nutraceuticals Ltd about its customers will be one of the assets transferred to the purchaser.

In each case, we process your data in these circumstances because we have a legitimate interest to ensure our business can be continued by a purchaser. If you object to our use of your personal data in this way, the relevant seller or buyer of our business may not be able to provide services to you.

In certain circumstances we may also need to share your personal data if we are under a duty to disclose or share personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation, such as in the course of a legal investigation.

How do we protect your information?

Our website is scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our site as safe as possible.  We use Malware Scanning.


Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.


In order to maintain the safety of personal information, we implement a variety of security measures when a user places an order, and when the user enters, submits, or accesses their information.

All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

How long do we store your data for?

Where you order products from us, you will be required to create an account with us and we will retain your data for as long as that account is open, to ensure that we are able to assist you should you have any questions, feedback or issues in connection with a product you have ordered from our site. If you have not used your account for two years, we will contact you to ask if you want to keep your account open. If you tell us to close your account, or if you do not reply, we will close your account and remove your personal data unless there is any other reason why we might need to retain your personal data (e.g. if there are any outstanding orders or payments due to us, or for any of the reasons set out below).

Where we have received your personal data to provide you with marketing communications, we will contact you at least every month to ensure you are happy to continue receiving such communications. If you tell us that you no longer wish to receive such communications, we promise to stop sending them to you. If you do not create an account with us or open any emails that we send within two years of our first marketing communication to you, we will stop sending them to you.

Where we have received your personal data to help improve our website or for any other reason, we will retain your data as long as we have an ongoing legitimate business interest for doing so (for example, to be able to provide you and our other customers with relevant and accurate content) provided that that interest is not outweighed by your interests, rights and freedoms.

To determine the appropriate retention period for the personal data we hold, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the reasons why we handle your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

When we no longer have a lawful basis for processing your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it.

In circumstances where we anonymise your personal data, we do so so that it can no longer be associated with you, but so that we can continue to use it for research or statistical purposes. In this case, we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Where we have processed your data for any other reason (such as where you have contacted us with a question in connection with a product) subject to the above, we will retain your data for two years to ensure that we are able to assist should you have any further questions or feedback.

In any event, you can ask us to delete your personal data at any time by sending a request to us at hello@camnutra.com (see below).
