Privacy Policy

Claritystamp Ltd Privacy Policy

 

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.claritystamp.com (the “Site”).

 

LEGAL BASES FOR PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING

 

The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:

 

CONSENT

 

In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent.
For example, when you tick a box to receive email newsletters.

 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

 

In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations.

 

For example, if you order an item from us, we’ll collect your address details to deliver your purchase, and pass them to our courier. 

 

LEGAL COMPLIANCE

 

If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data.  

 

For example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity affecting Claritystamp Ltd to law enforcement.

 

LEGITIMATE INTERESTS

 

In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.

 

For example, we may use your purchase history to send you or make available personalised offers. We also combine the shopping history of many customers to identify trends and ensure we can keep up with demand, or develop new products/services.

E-MAIL MARKETING

 

E-mail marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you e-mails about our store, new products and other updates.

 

PAYMENTS

 

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.

 

Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

 

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify 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.

 

If you have elected to save your card payment details in the checkout ( by ticking the 'remember me' function in the checkout of our store), and wish to opt out. You can do so here: 

https://pay.shopify.com/
