What personal data do we collect and why do we collect it?

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, contact number, email address, billing address, delivery address, credit card/payment details and optional account information such as a username and password for the purposes of processing your order. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

You may also wish to subscribe to our e-mail list either using the sign up form on our website or by consenting to join the list during the store checkout process. In response, we may ask for information such as your name and e-mail address. In the event you opt to provide us with this information, we will only use it for the purpose specified. You can opt-out of any of these e-mail lists at any time by emailing shop@katietaylor.ie.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

At the time you submit personal information or make a request, the intended use of the information you submit will be apparent in the context in which you submit it and/or because the Site states the intended purpose. By submitting personal information at the Site, you are giving your consent and permission for any use that is consistent with uses stated in this Privacy Policy or disclosed elsewhere at the Site at the point you submit such personal information, and such consent will be presumed by us unless you state otherwise at the time you submit the personal information.

Who do we share your Personal Information with and why?

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us improve the products, services and content provided by the Site. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site. You can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Your personal information may also be used by reputable third party payment processing services in order to process payments for goods or services we offer on the Site. We accept payments through Stripe. When processing payments, some of your data will be passed to Stripe, including information required to process or support the payment, such as the purchase total and billing information.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, court order or other lawful requests for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

How long do we retain your Personal Information?

We retain analytics data for 3 years, email list data for 5 years and customer purchase records for 6 years. For users that register on the Site 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). The Site administrators can also see and edit that information.

How do we secure your Personal Information?

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow and implement the generally accepted industry standards.

What rights do you have over your Personal Information?

If you have an account on the Site, have previously made a purchase on the Site or have joined our email list then 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.
