What we collect and store

While you visit our site, we’ll track:

  • Products you’ve viewed: we’ll use this to, for example, show you products you’ve recently viewed
  • Location, IP address and browser type: we’ll use this for purposes like estimating taxes and shipping
  • Information relating to any purchases you make of our goods (including your name, delivery address, payment address, telephone numbers, email address)

We’ll also use cookies to keep track of cart contents while you’re browsing our site.

When you purchase from us, we’ll ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and optional account information like username and password. We’ll use this information for purposes, such as, to:

  • Send you information about your account and order
  • Respond to your requests, including refunds and complaints
  • Process payments and prevent fraud
  • Set up your account for our store
  • Comply with any legal obligations we have, such as calculating taxes
  • Improve our store offerings
  • Send you marketing messages, if you choose to receive them

All our website financial transactions are handled through our payment services provider, Stripe. You can review the provider’s privacy policy at www.stripe.com/gb/privacy. We will share information with our payment services provider only to the extent necessary for the purposes of processing payments you make via our website, refunding such payments and dealing with complaints and queries relating to such payments and refunds.

If you create an account, we will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.

We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for 5 years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.

We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.

When you use this site several actions (e.g. purchasing) trigger the dispatch of emails. They contain information about you associated with your email address. Which data are part of these emails depends on the action performed. These emails are stored and accessible to the site management as log.


Who on our team has access

Members of our team have access to the information you provide us. For example, both Administrators and Shop Managers can access:

  • Order information like what was purchased, when it was purchased and where it should be sent, and
  • Customer information like your name, email address, and billing address, and shipping information.

Our team members have access to this information to help fulfill orders, process refunds and support you.


What we share with others

We share information with third parties who help us provide our orders and store services to you.

All our website financial transactions are handled through our payment services provider, Stripe. We will share information with our payment services provider only to the extent necessary for the purposes of processing payments you make via our website, refunding such payments and dealing with complaints and queries relating to such payments and refunds.


Payments

All payments are processed via a third party integration called Stripe, completely secure, PCI compliant and SSL enabled. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. This audit includes both Stripe’s Card Data Vault (CDV) and the secure software development of our integration code.

Stripe has certain data processing activities for which it acts as a data controller, and others for which it acts as a data processor. A good illustration of this dual role is when Stripe processes credit card transactions. Facilitating a transaction requires the processing of personal data, such as the cardholder’s name, credit card number, the credit card expiry date, and CVC code. The cardholder’s data is sent from the Stripe user to Stripe via the Stripe API (or by some other integration method, such as Stripe Elements). Stripe then uses the data to complete the transaction within the systems of the credit card networks, which is a function that Stripe performs as a data processor. However, Stripe also uses the data to comply with its regulatory obligations (such as Know Your Customer (“KYC”) and Anti Money Laundering (“AML”), and in this role Stripe is a data controller.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.


How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.


What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.


Participation in events

(A) Registration for/participation in events

When you register for an event, we process your personal data (such as name, email address, telephone number, company) to register and hold the event.

This includes in particular the sending of event-related information material.

If necessary, your personal data will also be passed on to service providers commissioned for the event, insofar as this is necessary for the realization (hotels, caterers, event service providers). If due to security measures a comparison of your data or a passing on of your personal data is necessary, you will be informed separately.

(B) Event photos

If you have given your consent or if we are otherwise entitled to do so, we will take, edit and use photos of our events, which may also depict you, for documentation purposes as well as advertising in online and offline media.

If necessary, we obtain your consent when registering for an event or collecting data, i.e. taking your photo. The granting of consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

In addition, we may process your photo due to our legitimate interest. This is particularly the case with event photos in which you as a person may only be shown by or in a larger group. Please note that such processing can also take place without your express consent.

Our photographers are also instructed to consider your personal preferences when taking photos. You are welcome to contact our photographers if you have any complaints. We will also consider your personal interests when selecting photos for publication.

Our legitimate interest in the processing of event photos lies in the documentation of our activities and in the advertising of our services.
