The legal bases we rely on:
Data Protection Law sets out a number of different reasons why we may collect and process your personal data including:
- Consent: In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent: when you tick a box to receive email newsletters; when you consent to our use of cookies when browsing our website.
- Contractual obligations: In specific situations, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations, for example, if you order an item from us for home delivery, we will collect your address and contact details to deliver your purchase and pass them to one of our couriers.
- Legal compliance: Sometimes the law requires us to collect and process your data, for example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud to law enforcement.
- Legitimate interest: In specific situations, we need your personal data to pursue our legitimate interests in the usual way that would reasonably be expected as part of running a business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests. For example, we will use your purchase history to send you or make available personalised offers. We will also analyse the purchases and shopping history of many of our customers to identify trends and make sure that we keep up with demand for new products. We will also use your address to send you marketing information by post, telling you about products that we think might interest you. If you no longer wish to hear from us, you can change your marketing preferences at any time.
How and why we use your personal data:
We want to give you the best possible customer experience and to provide you with products you want. Most of the collection and processing we do of your personal data is for this purpose alone.
As part of serving you, we try to build up a good picture of who you are by combining the data we gather about you through your use of our website, your phone purchases and your interactions with us on social media. We then use this data to offer you promotions and products that are most likely to interest you.
Data privacy law allows us to do this as part of our legitimate interest in understanding our customers and providing the best levels of customer service. If you wish to change this, you can find details under Your legal rights below.
How and why we communicate with you:
Where you have requested marketing email communications, we will contact you by email and offer an unsubscribe option at the bottom of each email.
For some of the other purposes listed in how and why we use your personal data above, we will use your email address (and other contact details where necessary) to contact you as part of our service and information delivery. We define these as transactional emails. Examples of these types of communications include:
- To provide order confirmation and status updates including delivery notifications from our 3rd party couriers (where possible).
- To request that you provide proof of age documentation for age verification purposes.
- To provide warranty, recall or safety information about a product or service.
- To provide information about a change to our policies.
- To provide information about a change in your account or subscription status.
- To provide confirmation of competition or prize draw entries and notify you of the result.
- Unlike our marketing email communications, we do not include an unsubscribe option at the bottom of such correspondence. If you no longer wish to receive transactional emails from us, please email us and let us know at [email protected].
How we protect your personal data:
Our customers data security is very important to us. We treat your data with the utmost care and take all appropriate steps to protect it. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being altered, disclosed, accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way.
We secure access to all transactional areas of our website using ‘https’ technology.
Access to your personal data is password-protected and sensitive data (such as payment card information) is secured by encryption.
We also carry out regular tests, assessments and evaluations of the effectiveness of our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks and conduct testing to find ways of increasing our data security.
If you provide us with proof of age documentation for age verification purposes, we will ONLY use the documentation to check that you are aged 18 or over and the documentation, and any accompanying email, will be deleted once used for this purpose.
In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have also put in place 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.
Where your personal data may be processed:
Some of our suppliers are based outside the UK and your data is shared with them for example, in order to fulfil your order. Countries where these suppliers are based include Australia, Canada, China and the USA.
Payment details for all orders made on Luxury Life Furniture are processed inside the UK.
Any transfer of your personal data will follow applicable laws and we will treat the information under the guiding principles of this Privacy Policy.
How long we keep your personal data:
When we have collected and processed your personal data, we seek to keep it only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Unless stated otherwise, we will always keep product purchase data (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for a minimum of 6 years. In the case of the product purchased being covered by a warranty, your personal data will be kept until the end of the warranty period.
To determine the right retention period, we think about the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use, the purposes for which we process your data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
Once it is no longer necessary to keep your data, we will either delete it or anonymise it. If we have used anonymisation, we may then put the anonymous data together with other data for statistical analysis for business purposes.
Your legal rights – You have the right to:
- Request access to or a copy of your personal data that we hold, free of charge in most cases.
- Request the correction of your personal data when incorrect, out of date or incomplete.
- Withdraw your consent (or to object) to us holding your data where we have no legitimate overriding interest or once the purpose for which we hold the data has come to an end (for example, the warranty period has ended).
- Ask that we stop using your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
- Request that your data be erased.
- Request the transfer of your personal data.
- Ask that we stop any consent-based processing of your personal data (for example where you opt-out of receiving email marketing from us).
- We will ask you to verify your identity before proceeding with any request under this Privacy Notice. This is necessary to protect the confidentiality of your information. If you have authorised a third party to submit a request on your behalf, we will ask them to prove that they have permission to act.
You can change your marketing preferences, by following the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the base of all our email communications, by updating your marketing preferences in your Luxury Life Furniture account, emailing [email protected] or phoning 03335 779884. Any other requests should be emailed to [email protected].
We will seek to respond to any request within 28 days. If you feel that your data hasn’t been handled correctly or you are unhappy about our response to any requests you have made about the use of your personal data, please let us know. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information.

Another way to tell if you are on a secure page is to look at the address or URL of the page. (Look in the address box or right-click on the page and select “Properties”.) These secure SSL-encrypted pages have URLs that start with https:// instead of http://. If you have any questions about security at our website, send a message via this link.
