Next and REISS are joint data controllers of your data which means we are jointly responsible for deciding how and why your personal information is used. We’re both also responsible for making sure it is kept safe, secure and handled legally when we are processing it. We operate to the highest standards when protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy.
Next’s Data Protection Officer is Russ Talbott. If you have any questions about your personal information, or how it is used by either REISS or Next, you can contact him and our Data Protection Team via email at dataprotection@next.co.uk.
You have a number of ‘Data Subject Rights.’ Below is some information on what they are and how you can exercise them.
The above rights may be limited in some circumstances, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person, if you ask us to delete information which we are required to have by law, or if we have compelling legitimate interests to keep it. We will let you know if that is the case and will then only use your information for these purposes. You may also be unable to continue using our services if you want us to stop processing your personal information.
If you have any general questions or want to exercise any of your rights please contact dataprotection@next.co.uk. Our security procedures mean that we may need to request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you in response to any request.

When you shop in REISS stores we use CCTV for security monitoring, and to protect our staff and products. This is for our legitimate interests (see the section headed “The lawful bases we use to process data” above). We ordinarily keep the footage for twenty-eight days after the date of capture, following which it is overwritten, although we may process it for longer for example if it is relevant to an investigation. We do not share this data, other than as required with authorities such as the police and the emergency services. Your rights regarding this footage are as set out in the “Your rights” section above.
