What we do with your information

At Oakdene Designs we recognise that data protection and security is a major concern in today’s digital world. That is why at Oakdene Designs we are committed and comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 as well as the General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) and publish this information so you can understand how we collect information from you and for whom such information is disclosed and what your rights are.

Circumstances in which we may share data with others

1. In the unlikely event that our business is sold or purchased (data records are part of the business). You will receive notice of any such event and we will use our reasonable endeavours to ensure that a new combined entity will follow and practice what is disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
2. If we are requested by law to disclose your personal information we may do so.
3. Third Party Providers  (See Below)

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.  

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies with respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.  

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in the United Kingdom and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act. Once you leave our store’s 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 of Service. 

How we protect your information

We take every precaution necessary to ensure that your data is kept safe and secure. As our store is hosted by Shopify Inc. They store your data on a secure server, behind a firewall in a safe environment. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.

We use Shopify as our e-commerce platform because they meet all six categories of PCI DSS standards (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)

• Maintain a secure network
• Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program
• Regularly Monitor and Test Networks
• Protect Cardholder Data
• Implement Strong Access Control Measures
• Maintain an Information Security Policy
  

We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology for the protection of information in transit for sensitive transactions such as payments. 

We do not store or process your card details ourselves, they are processed and stored via one of our contract third-party providers (see below).

Shopify Payments powered by Stripe (Visa, MasterCard, American Express)
Accelerated Payments via Shopify Payments (Shopify Pay, Apple Pay, Andriod Pay)
Paypal Express Checkout

Only Employees and any third party service providers who need the information to perform a specific task are granted access to personally identifiable information.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

You acknowledge that the internet is not a completely secure medium for communication and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you send to us (or we send to you) via the internet. We are not responsible for any damages which you, or others, may suffer as a result of the loss of confidentiality of such information.

Data Retention

We will only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period of for personal data, we consider all factors and the potential risk of harm of unauthorised access and our legal regulatory obligations.

For example, details of your order will be kept for as long as we need to retain that data to comply with our legal and regulatory requirements. This is generally 7 years unless the law prescribes a longer / shorter period.

Photo Products

In regards to the photo products we sell we will request photos at the time of purchase. These will be stored on the Marketplaces Servers (Shopify, NOTHS, Next, Etsy). At the point of personalising and making your order, they are downloaded for the sole purpose of creating your photo product. They are then locally stored on our highly encrypted server with a secondary firewall in place for up to three months to cover any replacement, reprints, and proofs requested by yourself. After this time they are permanently deleted from our servers. The original images will still be stored on the marketplaces servers in accordance with regulatory and legal obligations.
