The ICO confirms that organisations must identify an appropriate lawful basis when handling personal information.

Shopify and Ecommerce Service Providers

Our website may operate using Shopify ecommerce technology.

Shopify and other service providers may process information necessary to provide website hosting, checkout, payment, fraud-prevention, analytics, security and related ecommerce services.

We may also share necessary information with:

  • Payment processors;
  • Fulfilment providers;

We do not disclose personal information simply for unrelated purposes without an appropriate lawful basis.

Payment Information

Payment details are generally submitted through payment systems provided by Shopify or other authorised payment-service providers.

We may receive information confirming payment status, transaction identifiers, payment method type and other information necessary to administer an order, but sensitive payment credentials may be handled directly by the relevant payment provider.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar storage or access technologies to:

  • Keep the website functioning;
  • Remember customer preferences;
  • Maintain shopping-cart functionality;
  • Provide checkout functionality;
  • Secure the website;
  • Prevent fraud;
  • Measure website performance;
  • Analyse website usage; and
  • Support advertising or marketing where appropriate.

UK privacy rules require appropriate information about cookies and, subject to applicable exceptions, consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Where required, customers may be presented with cookie controls allowing them to manage applicable preferences.

Blocking certain strictly necessary technologies may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.

Marketing Communications

Where legally permitted, we may use contact information to communicate about products, services, promotions or store updates.

Where consent is required, marketing will be sent on the basis of valid consent.

Customers may unsubscribe from promotional communications using an available unsubscribe mechanism or by contacting:

info@enviousdesignsa.shop

An unsubscribe request does not prevent us from sending transactional or service messages that are necessary for an existing order or customer relationship.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for legitimate legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, contractual and business requirements.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal obligations.

International Data Transfers

Some ecommerce, payment, fulfilment, analytics or technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by applicable data-protection law.

Data Security

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

  • Unauthorised access;
  • Unlawful disclosure;
  • Accidental loss;
  • Destruction;
  • Alteration; and
  • Misuse.

No internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Customers should also take appropriate precautions to protect passwords, devices and account information.

Children's Privacy

Our website is intended for general ecommerce use and is not designed specifically to collect personal information from young children.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children in circumstances where doing so would be unlawful.

If you believe personal information concerning a child has been provided to us inappropriately, contact:

info@enviousdesignsa.shop

  • Access;
  • Rectification;
  • Erasure;
  • Restriction of processing;
  • Objection to certain processing;
  • Data portability;
  • Withdrawal of consent where processing depends on consent; and

These rights may be subject to legal conditions, limitations and exemptions. The ICO confirms that UK data-protection law provides rights including erasure, restriction, portability and objection in qualifying circumstances.

We may request reasonable information to verify identity before responding to a request.

Data-Protection Complaints

Individuals may raise a complaint concerning how we collect or use personal information by contacting:

info@enviousdesignsa.shop

We will maintain a process for dealing with data-protection complaints.

Current ICO guidance requires organisations to provide a method for making data-protection complaints, acknowledge receipt within 30 days, take appropriate steps to respond and investigate without undue delay, keep complainants appropriately informed and communicate the outcome without undue delay.

Individuals may also have the right to raise concerns with the Information Commissioner's Office where appropriate.

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.
