Privacy Policy

OUR PRIVACY POLICY 

We want you to know we are fully committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Our privacy policy sets out how we use and protect any information that you give to us when you use this website. We only ask you to provide the minimum information by which you can be identified. Be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement. You should check this page occasionally as we may change this policy at times and this page will be updated. 

Information We Collect 

To fulfil your order, you must provide us with certain information, such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide us with additional personal information (for a custom order), if you contact us directly.

Why We Need Your Information and How We Use It 

We rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including: 

  • as needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support; 
  • when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time; 
  • if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and 
  • as necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services. 

Information Sharing and Disclosure 

Information about our customers is important to our business. We share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows: 

  • Service providers. We may engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to our shop, such as delivery companies. We will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services. 
  • Compliance with laws. We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce our agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of our customers, or others. 

Data Retention 

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and as described in our Privacy Policy. However, we may also be required to retain this information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. We generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years. 

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU We may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. 

Your Rights 

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. We describe these rights below: 

  • Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information below. 
  • Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict our use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where we are required to store data for legal reasons) we will generally delete your personal information upon request. 
  • Object. You can object to (i) our processing of some of your information based on our legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from us after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, we will delete your personal information unless we have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons. 
  • Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about our use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
