DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
I may disclose your personal information to any of my employees, insurers, professional advisers, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this policy or to fulfil your order. Notably, I will share your data with third parties such as printing companies, couriers and other production suppliers to enable me to fulfil your order.
In other instances I will only share your personal data with third parties where I am legally obliged to, or for operational efficiency (e.g. name, address and contact details) to a courier company in order for them to deliver your goods and to keep you informed of delivery tracking information. Please note that in most instances my print and production suppliers may dispatch your order to you directly, via their own courier supplier.
HOW I PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
I endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information. However,
the transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure. I will do my best to protect your personal data, but I cannot guarantee the security of the data transmitted to this site or over email and any transmission is at your own risk.
I take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. My website has an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate. SSL has cryptographic protocols that provide secure communications on the Internet for such things as web browsing, email, Internet faxing, instant messaging and other data transfers. It encrypts all of your personal information so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the internet.
HOW LONG YOUR INFORMATION IS KEPT FOR
I will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes I collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, I consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which I process your personal data and whether I can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In some circumstances you can ask me to delete your data.
In some circumstances I may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case I may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
HOW YOUR DATA IS STORED
I have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, I 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 my instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
In the unlikely event of a suspected personal data breach I will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where I am legally required to do so.
ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION
You also have the right to request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data I hold about you and to check that I am lawfully processing it. I try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take me longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, I will notify you and keep you updated. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data. However, I may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, I may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Please note that provision of any such information will be subject to the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity (for this purpose, I will usually accept a photocopy of your passport certified by a solicitor or bank, plus an original copy of a utility bill showing your current address).
OPTING OUT
You can ask me to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting me at any time.
Where you opt out of receiving marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to me as a result of purchasing a product.
RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN
This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for me continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask me to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing, where I may have processed your information unlawfully or where I am required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that I may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
