Who I share your personal information with

I limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. I will not share your personal information with any other third party except those required to do so in the course of fulfilling your order (such as printers, framers and delivery service providers) or running my business (such as web design support and accountancy.) Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

 

My website is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides me with the online platform that allows me to sell 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 my business 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 my store and its service providers.

I will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where I am legally required to do so. I will share personal information with law enforcement or other authorities if required by applicable law.

 

How long your personal information will be kept

At a minimum, I will hold your personal data for a period of 7 years, as is required by current UK tax law (6 years plus the current year). The maximum retention period is ten years from the date of your last purchase or three years from contact if you have not made a purchase.

If I make material changes to this policy, I will notify you here that it has been updated, including a summary of the key amendments so that you are aware of what information I collect, how I use it, and under what circumstances, if any, I disclose it.
