As I'm sure you've all read about, been emailed about, seen countless messages about etc - the new GDPR system takes effect as of Friday 25th May 2018 and as such we have had to adjust out Privacy Policy.

If you are EVER unsure of how we handle your details or the processes we take in completing your order Please message and ask.

1.0 OUR CORE BELIEFS REGARDING USER PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION
User privacy and data protection are human rights.
We have a duty of care to the people whose personal information is held by us.
Data could be a liability, it should only be collected and processed when absolutely necessary.
We will never sell, rent or otherwise distribute or make public your personal information.

2.0 RELEVANT LEGISLATION
We comply with the following national and international legislation with regards to data protection and user privacy:
UK Data Protection Act 1988 (DPA)
EU Data Protection Directive 1995 (DPD)
EU General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR)

3.0 PERSONAL INFORMATION I COLLECT AND WHY I COLLECT IT
3.1 Order Processing
When you place an order via my website www.furwebsmarket.uk I receive only the required information in order to process your order (your name, address and email). I do not receive any card or bank details.

4.0 HOW I USE THE INFORMATION
The information you provide is used to fulfil your order on a ‘contract’ basis and is only used for the purpose of communicating with you regarding your purchase and for delivery of your items. Your personal information will not be added to my mailing list and you will not be contacted for marketing or advertising purposes unless you request me to do so.

5.0 SHARING WITH THIRD PARTIES
We will NEVER sell or rent your personal data. To process your order and to fulfil your contract with us, your information is shared with third parties for the purpose of delivery (Royal Mail and courier services).
It may be shared for compliance with legal, regulatory and law enforcement requests as appropriate and necessary. I will endeavour to notify you of any such requests. I am not responsible for how these third parties process your data, please visit their websites to read their privacy policies.

6.0 HOW I SECURE, STORE AND RETAIN DATA
We use FurwebsMarket website to trade and complete your purchase. Your data is secured, stored and retained by FurwebsMarket to complete your purchase. We hold only a duplicated hard copy of your order invoice (one of which is enclosed in dispatched orders for your records) of which your data and any data collected is held only as long as is necessary to carry out your order and to maintain adequate and accurate business and financial records (We will securely dispose of these records after a 5 year period has passed due to HMRC requirements).

7.0 HOW YOU CAN ACCESS, UPDATE OR DELETE INFORMATION HELD ABOUT YOU
You have the right to access, update or ask us to delete your personal information. Please email our Data Controller found in section 9.0 below. We are obliged by law to provide this service within 30 calendar days of your request free of charge. However, we have the right to refuse or charge for requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive and repetitive.

8.0 DATA BREACHES
We will report any unlawful data breach to any and all relevant persons and authorities within 72 hours of the breach, if it is apparent that personal data stored in an identifiable manner has been stolen. If you feel your data has been compromised you have a right to contact the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).

9.0 DATA CONTROLLER
Our data controller is Kitty Johnson
Whose registered and operating office is:
Elgin House, 8 Stallpits Road, Shrivenham, Oxfordshire, SN68BG

10.0 CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy may change from time to time inline with legislation or industry developments. We will not explicitly inform our users of these changes. Instead, we recommend that you check this page occasionally for any policy changes. Specific policy changes and updates will be mentioned in the change log below:
Version 1.0 25th May 2018 – New Privacy Policy to be compliant with GDPR

11.0 VISITING US AT COMMUNITY EVENTS & POP-UP LOCATIONS
If you visit school fetes, craft fairs, village fetes or  pop-up shopping evening which we are attending you may be recorded on CCTV if the location has this in operation. If you purchase from us using cash and collect your item on the day, no personal information will be collected or stored. For made-to-order items or bulky purchases that can’t be collected on the day, I will need to ask you for your name and address in order to deliver your order. I would need to pass your name and address to a third party (eg Royal Mail or Courier) in order for them to deliver your parcel.
