Information Collected

Depending on how you use the website, information collected may include:

  • your name

  • email address

  • telephone number

  • billing and delivery address

  • details of products you order or enquire about

  • messages and correspondence sent to Craftinson

  • information needed to process and deliver an order

  • technical information about how you access and use the website, such as your device, browser and IP address

Only information reasonably necessary for running Craftinson and providing products and services is collected.

How Personal Information Is Used

Craftinson may use personal information to:

  • respond to enquiries

  • provide quotations

  • process and fulfil orders

  • arrange delivery

  • communicate about an order

  • provide customer service

  • deal with returns, repairs or warranty issues

  • maintain accounting and business records

  • operate, improve and protect the website

  • comply with legal, tax and regulatory requirements

The lawful basis used depends on the purpose for which the information is being processed.

For example:

  • information needed to process an order, arrange delivery or provide services is normally processed because it is necessary to perform a contract

  • information required for tax, accounting or other legal requirements is processed to comply with a legal obligation

  • information used to respond to enquiries, operate and protect the website or manage the business may be processed where Craftinson has a legitimate business interest in doing so

  • consent is used where required, including for certain non-essential cookies or optional marketing

Where processing relies on consent, that consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Sharing Personal Information

Craftinson does not sell personal information.

Information may be shared where reasonably necessary with organisations that help operate the business, including:

  • Squarespace, which hosts and operates this website

  • payment providers used to process online payments

  • delivery and courier companies used to fulfil orders

  • professional advisers such as accountants where necessary

  • government bodies or other authorities where disclosure is legally required

Only information reasonably necessary for the relevant service is provided.

Payments

Online payments are processed using the payment provider shown during checkout.

Craftinson does not need to receive or store complete payment-card details where payment is handled directly by the payment provider.

How Long Information Is Kept

Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary.

Order, payment and transaction records may be retained for up to six years for accounting, tax and legal record-keeping purposes.

General enquiries that do not result in an order will normally be deleted when they are no longer reasonably required.
