How do we use the data?

We use any data collected for the sole purpose of our legitimate interests of improving the site and the customer experience overall. The data helps us understand how many people are coming to the site, and which areas are of most interest. We use Google Analytics to assist with the analysis, but it is strictly processed in a way that ensures user anonymity. Lupa Foods is compliant with GDPR process at all times, and strict procedures are in place to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of the collated information, and to make such information as secure as possible against unauthorised access and use.

  • We have your permission;
  • We are required to do so by law;
  • This is necessary so that we can enforce our terms of use, rights or property or the rights or property of any third party; or
  • This is necessary in connection with the sale of our business or its assets (in which case your details will be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchaser’s advisers and will be passed to the new owners).
