We take your privacy very seriously. We have always been very transparent about our policies, what data we store and why and how you can opt into and out of communications. This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected and used when you visit or make a purchase from the crochet dolls and how we comply with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) which came into effect from May 25th 2018.
Our delivery partners
We ship our products via An post. They are fully GDPR compliant.
Payment Details
Like any other online store we have payment gateways integrated with our website in order to process payments. We have Paypal and Stripe as our payment gateways. We redirect you to Paypal (link to their policy) to make any payments so we never see your credit or debit card information, it is all encrypted on their side and we have SSL enabled on our site for Stripe (link to their policy) which means all transactions are over a secure network – this ensures maximum protection. 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. We use Woocommerce to manage our online store and sell to you, your account data and order information including payment gateway information is stored on their platform, they are also fully GDPR compliant and here is a link to their policy.
Your account with us
We do store your account details (name, email, postal address, phone number, username and hashed password) via Woocommerce, so that we can contact you again if necessary in relation to an order and we endeavour to protect these details and maintain our data as securely as possible. These are stored if you make or attempt to make an order.
