Privacy Policy (GDPR)

This policy sets out how Maggie Brand uses and protects information that you give when you use this website.

We may hold information about you as a customer. 

WHY WE NEED YOUR DATA

If you have bought from our online store, we need slightly more information about you. This will include data that may ensure speedier transit through customs of your order, or information such as your IP address for identification for VAT on digital products within the EU. We need to hold onto your data to comply with tax laws in the UK. The legal bases for us holding this information is for the purpose of fulfilling a contract (when you place an order) and as part of our legitimate business activities (analysis of customer activity).

WHAT DATA DO WE COLLECT AND HOLD?
Online shop customers provide us with their name, email address, a shipping and billing address, and a telephone number. The website collects the IP address from which the order is made. We will also retain information on the number of orders, the value of those orders, the number of visits you have made to our shop (using your IP address), the referral website or link that brought you to our site, if applicable.

WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR DATA

• We process personal data in the UK, however for the purposes of IT hosting and maintenance, this information is located on servers within the EU. Your data will not be shared with 3rd parties unless the law allows it.
• We store your information to allow us to comply with tax laws.
• We use your address and email contact details to fulfil your orders and to communicate with you about your orders. Depending on how your order is shipped, we may share your contact telephone number and email address with the courier service so that you are able to track your package.
• We hold your IP address to help us with fraud prevention as it helps us to see whether an order has been made from a different territory from the billing address.
• We will use your order history, location etc. for the purpose of statistical analyses, both automated through the software we use and through our own analyses. This allows us to look at trends and decide how we can provide the most attractive products and services.
• Payment
• If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then website stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
• All direct payment gateways 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 our store and its service providers.
   

HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR DATA
We are required under UK tax law to keep customers' basic personal information for a minimum of 6 years (10 years for digital services) after a transaction, after which time it will be destroyed. Your information we use for marketing will be retained until you notify us that you no longer wish to receive this information, at which point we will delete your data.
