Legal basis for which we will use your personal data
For personal data collected about you in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the UK and other relevant jurisdictions, our basis for processing is the following:
- We rely on our legitimate interest in processing identity and contact data and related information about you in order to communicate with you, share information about our products and to respond to your requests.
- In order to engage in transactions with customers, suppliers and business partners, and to process purchases of our products and services, we need to process information about you as necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.
- We process personal data for marketing and sales activities (including events) based on your consent where so indicated on our Sites at the time your personal data was collected, or further to our legitimate interest to keep you updated on developments around our products and services, which may be of interest to you.
- We rely on our legitimate interest to analyse, develop, improve and optimize our Sites, facilities, products and services, and to maintain the security of our Sites, networks and systems.
- In order to comply with applicable laws and regulations, such as to comply with a legitimate legal process, or to process an opt-out request.
Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful basis depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data.
To the extent you are asked to click or check “I accept”, “I agree” or similar buttons or checkboxes in relation to this Notice, doing so will be considered as providing your consent to process your personal data, only in the countries where such consent is required by law. In all other countries, such action will be considered as a mere acknowledgement and the legal basis of the processing of your personal data will not be your consent but any other applicable legal basis.
Disclosure of your personal data
Disclosure of your personal data
As a global business, your personal data will be shared throughout Coats’ group of companies, and with third parties as set out below.
We may share personal data with the following third parties for a business purpose:
- Third-party service providers (for example, merchant service providers, order fulfilment, analytics, event/campaign management, website management, information technology and infrastructure provision, data hosting, customer service, e-mail delivery, auditing, and other similar service providers) in order for those service providers to perform business functions on behalf of Coats.
- Relevant third parties in the event of a reorganisation, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of Coats’ business, assets or shares.
- If we are required to do so by law or legal process, or when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or illegal activity such as financial crime.
We may share personal data with the following third parties for a commercial purpose:
- Coats authorised distributors, resellers and sales agents.
- Event / conference / webinar partners, co-hosts and sponsors.
When third parties are given access to personal data, we will implement appropriate contractual, technical and organizational measures to ensure that such information is processed only to the extent that such processing is necessary, consistent with this Privacy Notice, and in accordance with applicable law.
International transfers of personal data
International transfers of personal data
When we share your personal data within Coats, this may involve transferring your personal data outside the EEA and the UK.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA and/or the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring appropriate safeguards are implemented, such as:
- Only transferring your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission (in the case of transfers out of the EEA) or the UK Government (in the case of transfers out of the UK).
- Where we use certain service providers, adopting specific contracts approved by the European Commission (in the case of transfers out of the EEA) and/or the UK Government (in the case of transfers out of the UK), in both cases which give personal data the same protection it has within the EEA and/or UK as applicable.
Security of your personal data
Security of your personal data
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We have procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
Although we take appropriate and proportionate steps to manage the risks posed, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure, therefore we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to our online services.
Third Party Sites
Third Party Sites
Our websites may contain links to other sites which are controlled by third parties, for example the ‘Investor’ page links to the website of our strategic communications partner. We also use social media sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube and third party platforms to host events, training and seminars. You should review these other sites’ privacy policies. We do not accept any responsibility for the information you provide those sites or their collection and use of your personal data.
Retention
Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.
If you want to learn more about the retention periods we apply to your personal data, please contact us by email to: privacy@coats.com.
Your rights
Your rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. Details of your rights are set out below:
- Access: this right entitles you to know whether we hold personal data about you and, if we do, to obtain information on and a copy of that personal data.
- Accuracy: this right entitles you to have your personal data be corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Objecting: this right entitles you to request that Coats no longer processes your personal data.
- Erasure: this right entitles you to request the erasure of your personal data, including where such personal data would no longer be necessary to achieve the purposes.
- Porting: this right entitles you to receive a copy (in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format) of personal data that you have provided to Coats, or request Coats to transmit such personal data to another data controller.
- Complain: if you believe that your data protection rights may have been breached, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the applicable supervisory authority, or to seek a remedy through the courts.

However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Your request should contain a detailed, accurate description of the personal data you want access to. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
Right to withdraw consent
Right to withdraw consent
If you have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal data, you have the right to fully or partly withdraw your consent. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) to which you originally consented unless there is another legal ground for the processing. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing your personal based on consent before its withdrawal.
