Performance of a contract

Where we are required to process or retain information to comply with legal, tax, accounting or regulatory requirements.

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers available through Wix. We do not normally receive or store your full payment card details.

7. Wix

Our website is built and hosted using Wix.

Wix may process certain information relating to visitors and customers in order to provide website hosting, security, functionality, analytics and other services.

Wix may also use cookies and other technologies as part of its services.

Wix states that where Wix processes customer data on behalf of a Wix site owner, the site owner is generally the data controller and Wix acts as a data processor in relation to that customer data.

You can read Wix's own privacy information on its website.

8. Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be used to make websites function correctly, remember preferences and understand how visitors interact with a website.

Some cookies are essential for the operation of the website. Other cookies, such as certain analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, may require your consent.

Wix provides tools that allow website owners to display a cookie consent banner and allow visitors to accept or decline non-essential cookies.

Where consent is required, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences through the cookie settings available on our website.

Under Irish data protection rules, consent is generally required for non-essential cookies and must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous.

Where required, we will obtain your consent before sending marketing communications.

If we use Mailchimp or another third-party email marketing provider, your information may be processed by that provider for the purpose of delivering our emails and managing subscriptions.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link contained in our emails.

Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not prevent us from contacting you about an order or other transaction where such communication is necessary.

10. Information Shared With Third Parties

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We may share relevant personal information with trusted third parties where this is necessary to operate our website or fulfil your order.

These may include:

Wix
Payment processing providers
Delivery and postal providers
Email marketing providers
Website analytics providers
Website security and technology providers
Professional advisers
Government bodies or law enforcement authorities where legally required

We only share information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Third-party providers may process information outside Ireland or the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by applicable data protection law.

11. How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Information relating to purchases may be retained for longer where necessary to comply with legal, tax, accounting or regulatory requirements.

Information relating to customer enquiries will generally be retained only for as long as necessary to deal with the enquiry and maintain appropriate records.

If you subscribe to marketing communications, your information will generally be retained until you unsubscribe or we otherwise determine that it is no longer required.

12. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website or method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

13. Your Data Protection Rights

Under the GDPR and applicable Irish data protection legislation, you may have the right to:

Request access to the personal information we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
Request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances
Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
Object to certain processing of your personal information
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
Request portability of certain personal information

These rights are subject to certain legal conditions and exemptions.

The Irish Data Protection Commission confirms that individuals have rights including access and rectification and that organisations must have a lawful basis for processing personal data.
