We collect & use demographic information to make sure that we only contact you with content that you will find relevant and interesting. We do this by using online behavioural advertising (or Interest Based Advertising (see below)). In order for this to work we collect information about your browsing activity using Cookies. These Cookies pass your animicausa.com browsing history back to us which then allows us to determine what content is most useful and relevant to be shown to you. The information that we collect and use for behavioural advertising is not personal information and it cannot be used to identify you, for example it will not contain your name, home address or phone number.
We have a legitimate business interest to use the aggregated and anonymised data obtained via Cookies and other data sources to help us provide you with relevant product marketing and improve your online shopping experience.
Profiling
Profiling is a term used to describe a form of data processing where significant volumes of data made up of lots of different data types – such as browser history from Cookies, age, gender, size, transaction history, demographics and buying habits – are all used in an aggregated, anonymised and non-personalised form to evaluate and predict, based on statistical analysis, what you may or may not want to purchase from us by assigning you to a profile type. We use this technique to understand what drives you to buy from us; the types of products you are most likely to be interested in and the medium by which we should contact you whether that be by email, direct mail or social media.
Interest Based Advertising
The data that we collect and use when you browse or shop online, including where we use Cookies, uses your IP address as the unique identifier; however, it will not contain your name, home address or phone number. We may also use your email address to send you online targeted marketing information but we always use hashed email addresses to keep your data secure. The email addresses are scrambled before being utilised to ensure nobody else can gain access to your email address. This enables us to offer our customers the best possible online user experience and equally allows us to improve the relevancy of our advertising. This allows us to provide you with more of the content you want to see.
