  • technical guides and useful content.

We use Mailchimp for some email marketing activities.

4. Our lawful bases for using your information

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we rely on the following lawful bases.

Contract

We process information where it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.

For example, when you place an order, we need your name, address, contact details and order information to process and deliver your purchase.

Legal obligation

We may process information where necessary to comply with our legal obligations.

For example:

  • accounting and tax requirements;
  • keeping financial records;
  • responding to lawful requests from authorities;
  • complying with consumer protection requirements.

Legitimate interests

We may process information where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and those interests are not overridden by your rights.

This may include:

  • operating and improving our website;
  • providing customer service;
  • preventing fraud;
  • protecting our business;
  • maintaining business records;
  • responding to enquiries;
  • improving our products and services;
  • managing our customer relationships.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether the processing is necessary and proportionate and whether your interests or rights override our interests.

Consent

Where required, we rely on your consent.

This may include:

  • certain marketing communications;
  • non-essential cookies;
  • analytics or advertising technologies;
  • certain third-party tracking technologies.

Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.

UK GDPR transparency requirements include telling people the purposes of processing, lawful basis, recipients, retention periods and their rights.


5. Shopify

Our website is powered by Shopify.

Shopify provides the technology that enables us to operate our online shop, including:

  • displaying products;
  • processing orders;
  • managing customer information;
  • operating checkout;
  • supporting payments;
  • managing customer accounts where applicable;
  • maintaining website security;
  • supporting website functionality.

Shopify may process information on our behalf and may also process information for its own purposes in accordance with its own privacy policies.

You can read Shopify's current privacy information on its website.


6. Payment providers

We use third-party payment providers to process payments.

Depending on the payment method selected at checkout, your information may be shared with the relevant payment provider.

These may include:

PayPal

We may use PayPal and PayPal-related services, including PayPal Pay Later messaging.

PayPal may process information necessary to provide payment services, prevent fraud, manage transactions and provide its services.

PayPal has its own privacy statement explaining how it processes personal information.

Klarna

Where Klarna is offered or displayed on our website, Klarna may process information relating to your purchase and, where applicable, payment or financing.

Klarna is an independent data controller for information it processes for its own purposes and its own privacy policy applies to that processing.

Important: if you subsequently remove Klarna from your store, remove this reference from the policy at the same time.


7. Delivery and shipping providers

We use delivery and shipping services to fulfil customer orders.

Our current Shopify installation includes tools relating to:

  • Royal Mail
  • DPD

Your name, delivery address, telephone number, email address, order information and information necessary for delivery may be shared with the relevant delivery provider when required to fulfil your order.

Delivery providers may use your information to:

  • deliver your order;
  • provide tracking;
  • contact you regarding delivery;
  • manage delivery problems;
  • provide proof of delivery.

They may process your information under their own privacy policies.


8. QuickBooks Online

We use QuickBooks Online for accounting and financial administration.

Information relating to customers and transactions may be transferred from our Shopify store to QuickBooks where necessary for:

  • bookkeeping;
  • invoicing;
  • recording sales;
  • VAT and tax administration;
  • payment reconciliation;
  • financial reporting;
  • maintaining legally required business records.

QuickBooks may therefore process information such as customer names, addresses, email addresses, invoice details and transaction information.


9. Mailchimp

We use Mailchimp to manage some email marketing and customer communications.

Where you have provided appropriate permission or where permitted by applicable marketing rules, your email address and other relevant information may be transferred to Mailchimp so that we can send marketing communications.

Mailchimp may process information relating to email delivery and engagement, such as whether an email has been delivered or opened or whether links have been clicked.

You can unsubscribe from our marketing communications at any time.


10. Trustpilot

We use Trustpilot and Trustpilot-related services to collect and display customer reviews.

Where appropriate, we may send review invitations to customers following a purchase or interaction with us.

This may involve sharing information such as:

  • your name;
  • email address;
  • order or transaction information.

If you submit a review, information contained in that review may be displayed publicly by Trustpilot.

Trustpilot operates its own privacy arrangements, which apply to information it processes.


11. Shopify Flow

We use Shopify Flow to automate certain administrative processes within our Shopify store.

For example, Flow may be used to:

  • automate internal tasks;
  • organise orders;
  • manage products;
  • trigger administrative notifications;
  • assist with store management.

Flow does not mean that we automatically make decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.


12. Shopify Search & Discovery

We use Shopify Search & Discovery to help customers find products and discover related or complementary products.

This may involve processing information about:

  • products viewed;
  • searches;
  • product interactions;
  • product preferences;
  • shopping activity.

This service helps us improve product discovery and the shopping experience.


13. Shopify Messaging and customer enquiries

We may use Shopify's messaging functionality to communicate with customers and respond to enquiries.

Information provided through messaging may include:

  • your name;
  • contact details;
  • message contents;
  • order information;
  • technical or product enquiries.

We use this information to respond to you and provide customer support.


14. Other Shopify apps

Our Shopify store also uses applications for purposes including:

  • order printing;
  • shipping calculations;
  • SEO;
  • product descriptions;
  • blog content;
  • website backups;
  • theme management;
  • knowledge-base/customer support functionality.

These currently include applications such as:

  • Order Printer;
  • Royal Mail Shipping Calculator;
  • My DPD eCommerce;
  • PBS SEO Optimizer;
  • Theme Updater & Backups;
  • AI Product Description;
  • ChatGPT-Blog Generator Pro;
  • Knowledge Base.

These applications are primarily used to operate and administer our online store.

Where an application processes customer personal information, we expect the provider to process that information only for the purposes for which it is provided and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

We periodically review the applications installed on our Shopify store and may add, remove or replace applications as our business develops.


15. Reviews, recommendations and product information

We may use information relating to your purchases and interactions with our website to improve:

  • product recommendations;
  • related-product suggestions;
  • website navigation;
  • product search;
  • customer service;
  • technical content.

We do not use solely automated decision-making to make decisions about you that produce legal or similarly significant effects.


16. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device which allows a website to recognise your device or remember certain information.

Cookies can be used for different purposes.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the website to function properly.

For example, they may be used to:

  • maintain your shopping basket;
  • operate checkout;
  • maintain security;
  • remember essential settings;
  • process transactions;
  • provide requested website functionality.

These cookies generally do not require consent where they are strictly necessary for a service you have requested.

Preference cookies

These may remember choices you make while using the website.

Analytics cookies

Where used, these help us understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited and how customers navigate the site.

Marketing and advertising cookies

Where used, these may allow third-party services to:

  • measure advertising;
  • understand interactions with marketing;
  • personalise advertising;
  • measure campaigns;
  • recognise visitors across services.

Third-party technologies

Some third-party services used on our website may set their own cookies or similar technologies.

These may include technologies associated with services such as Shopify, PayPal, Klarna, Trustpilot, Mailchimp and other applications integrated with our store.

The exact cookies and technologies used may change when applications or Shopify functionality are added, removed or updated.


17. Cookie consent

Where cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary, we will seek consent where required by applicable law before setting them.

You should be able to:

  • accept non-essential cookies;
  • reject non-essential cookies;
  • manage cookie preferences;
  • withdraw consent.

Simply continuing to browse the website is not treated as consent to non-essential cookies.

The ICO states that non-essential cookies generally require consent and that consent must involve a clear positive action; a privacy policy alone is not sufficient consent.


18. How to manage cookies

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Blocking some cookies may affect the operation of our website, including functions such as:

  • shopping baskets;
  • checkout;
  • login;
  • preferences;
  • other essential functionality.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings mechanism provided on our website.


19. How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Different information may be retained for different periods.

For example:

Customer and order information

We retain information relating to purchases for as long as necessary to:

  • fulfil the transaction;
  • deal with returns, refunds and complaints;
  • comply with accounting and tax requirements;
  • establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Enquiries

We generally retain enquiry correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with the enquiry and maintain appropriate business records.

Marketing information

We retain marketing information while you remain subscribed or until you withdraw your consent or otherwise request that we stop sending marketing communications, subject to any information we need to retain for other lawful purposes.

Cookie consent information

Where applicable, records of cookie consent may be retained so that we can demonstrate and respect your preferences.

The ICO recommends that organisations explain either their retention periods or the criteria used to determine those periods.


20. Who we share information with

We may share personal information with organisations that help us operate our business, including:

  • Shopify;
  • payment providers such as PayPal and Klarna where applicable;
  • Royal Mail;
  • DPD;
  • QuickBooks Online;

  • Trustpilot;
  • Shopify application providers;
  • IT and website service providers;

We only share information where there is a legitimate reason to do so, such as fulfilling your order, providing a service you have requested, complying with legal obligations or pursuing our legitimate business interests.

UK GDPR transparency requirements include telling people about recipients or categories of recipients of their personal data.


21. International transfers

Some of the companies we use may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.

This may include relying on:

  • an adequacy decision;
  • appropriate contractual safeguards;
  • other lawful transfer mechanisms recognised under applicable data protection law.

Third-party providers may have their own international transfer arrangements and privacy policies.

You can:

  • click the unsubscribe link in a marketing email;

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

  • unauthorised access;
  • accidental loss;
  • misuse;
  • alteration;
  • disclosure;
