The Privacy Policy describes what personal data is; how, when and for how long we collect your personal information and share information when you are our customer.
We collect your personal information which may include your name, mobile/landline number, address, alternative address (or safe place for the delivery), email address, images you are the owner of and wish to use with the COMMISSION ORDERS and your agreement/disagreement to put them in the public on social media.
We also collect the entire mutual conversation between us and the customer, when you send direct messages to us (social media, mobile, WhatsApp, email, Etsy chat) and when you provide feedback.
We do this as proof of purchase and a way to learn and improve our communication with you (a potential client).
All this information has digital and paperwork versions and is kept highly secure.
REMEMBER: We don’t store nor use sensitive data such as e.g. medical information from you. However, if you mention anything personal during our conversation, know that the third-party platforms on which the conversation occurs may store certain information on your behalf e.g. Facebook.
When we collect your Data:
These are mandatory:
-when you make orders (online & distance selling including commission orders);
-when you purchase the item (online & distance selling including commission orders);
-when we need to deliver your purchases to you;
-when you need our repair services;
-when we send you service messages by e-mail such as order confirmations, payment confirmations and order updates;
-when you sign in or log in to your account on our website (signing in is optional);
-accountancy details (e.g. mail cost, delivery proof);
-when you send us a message via a contact form on our website;
This is optional:
-when you make a subscription, we send you information by email about new products and services (it is automated, and you can unsubscribe at any time).
The General Data Protection Regulation states that your information should not be kept longer than required to provide you with our services, but accountancy records last 7 years after which data will be securely deleted or destroyed.
We DO NOT, and WILL NOT, sell any of your data to any third-party company – including your name, address, email address or credit card information.
The only ones who can view your personal information are us, and the Revenue Office for tax purposes.
