We run online advertising to keep you aware of what we’re up to and to help you see and find our products. Like many companies, we target banners and ads to you when you are on other websites and apps. We do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges. We use a range of advertising technologies such as web beacons, pixels, ad tags, cookies and mobile identifiers, as well as specific services offered by some sites and social networks, such as Facebook’s Custom Audience service. The banners and ads you see are based on information we hold about you, or your previous engagement with MOSS (for example, items you search for and the content you read while on our website) or MOSS. banners or ads you have previously clicked on.
You have the right to opt-out of receiving any marketing communications at any time. To opt-out of receiving such information you can:
- click the unsubscribe button contained in any such communication received; or
- email us at [email protected] providing us with your name and contact details; or
- visit one of our stores
Where you have indicated you would like to receive marketing material from us we will use your personal data for three years from when you last engaged with us, such as opening one of our marketing emails. You can always unsubscribe from receiving marketing if you no longer want to hear about offers from us.
We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you ask us to provide further products or services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.
We will always treat your personal data with the utmost respect and never share it with other organisations outside the Moss Bros group for marketing purposes.
Monitoring and Recording
We may monitor and record communications with you (such as telephone communications and emails) for the purpose of quality assurance, training, fraud prevention and compliance.
In our stores we also have CCTV cameras installed in our premises for the purpose of crime prevention and for health and safety reasons. We retain such information for up to 30 days subject to store location. We may also use technology to monitor customer flows in our stores.
We use Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions to record calls with the primary purpose of improving our customer service interactions. The AI technology helps us analyse and enhance the quality of our communications, ensuring that we provide the best possible service to our customers.
We care about everyone’s privacy rights and safety in our stores, including that of our staff. We reserve the right to remove individuals overtly or covertly recording through any device if recording is done in a way which threatens, harasses or intimidates our staff.
Automated processing and use of AI
We use AI to assist with customer service and provide information to you. When you interact with our chatbot, or contact us by email or by webforms, we may collect and process personal data such as your name, contact details, order details, and any other information you provide during the conversation and use AI to make the customer service process more efficient. The purpose of this processing is to enhance your experience and provide you with accurate and timely responses to frequently asked questions and to automate certain responses. This may constitute automated decision-making without a significant legal effect on you. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in improving our services and ensuring effective communication with our customers. We use artificial intelligence to generate responses from our defined knowledge bank. If you would like to speak to one of our customer service agents at any point, you can ask to speak to a human at any point if you are using live chat, our chatbot or web forms.
We are committed to protecting your personal data. The information collected through AI call recording and our chatbot is stored securely and access is limited to authorised personnel only. We have implemented appropriate physical, technical, and organisational measures to safeguard your data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, use, alteration, or disclosure.
If further to undertaking a credit check you receive a low credit score, we reserve the right not to supply you with goods or services on credit and/or require upfront payment for the goods or services you wish to purchase.
If you have any questions or concerns about how we use AI solutions, or if you wish to exercise any of your rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
