5. Legal Bases for Processing

Under UK data protection law, personal information must be processed on an appropriate legal basis.

​

Depending on the circumstances, Laura Boden Art may rely on:

​

Contract — where processing is necessary to fulfil an order, commission or other agreement with you, or to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement.

​

Legal obligation — where information must be processed or retained to comply with legal, tax, accounting or other regulatory requirements.

​

Legitimate interests — where processing is reasonably necessary for operating and improving Laura Boden Art, communicating with customers, protecting the business or providing customer service, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.

​

Consent — where you have actively agreed to a particular use of your information, such as certain marketing communications or non-essential cookies where consent is required.

​

Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time.

​

6. Orders & Payments

When you place an order, information such as your name, contact details, billing or delivery address and order details may be required to process the transaction.

​

Payments made through the website are processed using the payment services made available through the website or checkout.

​

Payment providers may collect and process payment information in accordance with their own privacy policies and security procedures.

​

Laura Boden Art does not need to receive or store your complete payment-card details where these are handled directly by the relevant payment provider.

These may include:

• Email and communication services

• IT, website or technical service providers

• Professional advisers such as accountants, where necessary

• Analytics or other website services where used and permitted

​

8. Website Platform

Laurabodenart.com is created and operated using Wix.

​

Wix may process certain information in connection with hosting, operating and securing the website and providing ecommerce and other website functionality.

Wix's handling of information is governed by its own applicable privacy terms and policies.

Other services connected to the website may also process information according to their own privacy policies.

​

​

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in the email or by contacting hello@laurabodenart.com.

​

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent Laura Boden Art from sending necessary communications relating to an existing order, commission, enquiry or other transaction.

​

10. How Long Information Is Kept

Personal information will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, accounting, tax or reporting requirements.

​

Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

For example, records relating to orders and financial transactions may need to be retained for a number of years for tax and accounting purposes.

​

Information used solely for consent-based marketing will be retained until consent is withdrawn or the information is no longer required, subject to any limited records that may need to be retained to respect an unsubscribe request.

​

11. International Data Transfers

Some website, payment, technology or other service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

​

Where personal information is transferred internationally, applicable data protection requirements and appropriate safeguards will apply where required.

​

The privacy policies of relevant third-party providers may provide further information about where and how they process personal information.

​

12. Data Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to help protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

​

Laura Boden Art also relies on reputable third-party providers to provide website, payment and other services.

​

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
