Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy sets out how Evocative Cornwall uses any information that you give us when you use this website.
What do we do with your information?
Your privacy is important to us. As part of the purchasing process we will collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address and email address. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected and that all personal information held is handled in accordance with the UK Data Protection Act (1998) and EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Consent
When you provide us with personal information to receive newsletters, complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, it implies that you consent to our collecting that information and using it for that specific reason. With your permission, we may send you emails about our website, new products and other updates.
You may withdraw your consent for us to contact you and use of your information at any time, by contacting us at info@evocativecornwall.co.uk or mailing us at: Evocative Cornwall, PO Box 761, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 9JE, United Kingdom.
Disclosure
We will not sell, distribute or disclose any information we hold on you to any third parties unless you have provided your consent or we are required to do so by law. Please refer to the use of cookies below.
Shopify
Our website is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products 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. We do not store credit card details nor do we share customer details with any third parties.
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 and American Express.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our website and its service providers.
Links
This site contains some links to other websites. Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms & Conditions.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
Security
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 an AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
