How We Store, Use, Share and Disclose Site Visitor's Personal Information
Our company is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with the online platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.
All direct payment gateways offered by Wix.com and used by us adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
Retaining your information
We’ll hold onto your information for as long as you have your account, or as long as is needed to be able to provide the services to you, or (in the case of any contact you may have with us) for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting.
If reasonably necessary or required to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our terms and conditions, we may also keep hold of some of your information as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the services to you.
​
Legal Basis
The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:
​
Consent:
In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent. For example, when you tick a box and opt in to receive email communications. We will continue to send you these emails until you inform us via email that you wish to unsubscribe or update your preferences. You will still continue to receive any necessary transactional emails regarding your orders.
​
Contractual obligations:
In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations.
Legal compliance:
If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data. For example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity to law enforcement.
​
Legitimate interest:
In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests. For example, we will use your purchase history to show you personalised products, recommendations or offers. We also combine the shopping history of many customers to identify trends and ensure we can keep up with demand, or develop new products.
​
Sharing your information
We do not sell any of your personal data to any third party. However, providing our services to you requires sharing your information with carefully selected and trusted third parties, as set out in this statement:
We will share transaction data with our payment services providers only to the extent necessary for the purposes of processing your payments, refunding such payments and dealing with complaints and queries relating to such payments and refunds.
Transactional messages will be sent via third-party services who may retain records for reporting purposes.
​
Marketing
We may contact you to notify you regarding your account, to troubleshoot problems with your account, to resolve a dispute, to collect fees or monies owed or as otherwise necessary to contact you to enforce our Terms and Coditions, applicable national laws, and any agreement we may have with you. For these purposes we may contact you via email, telephone, text messages, and postal mail. We may also contact you via email regarding marketing campaigns, newsletters, promotions, to send updates about our company, etc.
Emails:
If you have subscribed to our newsletter, we may send you emails to keep you aware of what we’re up to and help you find images of interest and to improve your customer experience. We may also record whether you have opened or clicked a marketing email that we have sent you to help us continue to deliver relevant marketing, content and product information to you. From time to time we may also send you surveys or feedback requests to help us improve our services and make our products and services more relevant to you. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by email. You will still continue to receive any necessary transactional emails regarding your orders.
​
Online advertising:
