  • the right you wish to exercise;
  • the information or activity concerned; and
  • any relevant order, account or communication details.

We may request reasonable information to confirm your identity and protect personal information against unauthorised disclosure.

We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

This is normally within one month, although additional time may be permitted for complex or numerous requests.

There is normally no charge.

A reasonable fee may be permitted, or a request may be refused, where it is manifestly unfounded or excessive, subject to applicable law.

21. Complaints

Please contact us first if you have concerns about how we use personal information.

We will try to investigate and resolve the matter.

You also have the right to complain to the UK supervisory authority:

Information Commissioner’s Office

Current contact information and complaint procedures are available through the ICO’s official website.

You may complain to the ICO without contacting us first, although the ICO may recommend raising the matter with us initially.

22. Children’s Information

Our website and products are not directed specifically at children.

Orders may only be placed by people who have legal capacity to enter into the relevant contract.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for customer-account or marketing purposes.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information without appropriate authority, contact us so that we can investigate and take suitable action.

23. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by other organisations.

Those organisations are responsible for their own:

  • website content;
  • security;
  • privacy notices;
  • cookie practices; and
  • use of personal information.

We recommend reading their privacy information before providing personal information.

We are not responsible for independently operated third-party privacy practices, except to the extent that applicable law makes us responsible.

24. Social Media

When you interact with us through a social-media platform, that platform may process information under its own privacy policy.

Depending on the interaction, the platform and FMV Services Ltd may separately determine how personal information is used.

Do not send:

  • complete payment-card details;
  • account passwords;
  • security codes; or
  • unnecessary sensitive information

through social-media messages.

Where you submit a review, photograph, video or other public content, we may display:

  • the review;
  • your chosen display name;
  • rating;
  • photographs;
  • video;
  • submission date;
  • verification status;
  • incentive disclosure; and
  • our response.

Do not include private information about yourself or another person in publicly submitted content.

We may moderate or remove content in accordance with our Customer Reviews Policy, Terms and applicable law.

26. Accessibility Requests

Where you request an accessibility adjustment, we may process information concerning:

  • the adjustment requested;
  • communication needs;
  • delivery assistance;
  • access requirements; and
  • relevant disability or health information voluntarily provided by you.

We will use this information only where reasonably necessary to consider and provide assistance, comply with legal duties or protect safety.
