Billing details are required to process the debit or credit card transaction and for delivery of the item(s) ordered. Credit and debit card transactions are handled by StripeWorldPay or PayPal on behalf of Rosarts. Your card details are encrypted (known as tokenisation) by your web browser before they are transmitted securely to Stripe or PayPal, who will then process the transaction. We do not have access to your credit or debit card details at any time and we do not hold untokenised credit or debit card details on our server. The tokenised version of your card details, which can only be decrypted by Stripe, WorldPay or PayPal, is stored on our server if you select the option to save your payment method in your account.

Shipping details are only required if the item(s) ordered are to be delivered to a different address to the billing details. Your email address is used to contact you regarding your order. Your telephone number is required in case we need to get in touch urgently regarding your order for example if an item in your order is time-limited in some way,

We require your IP address to locate which country you are in because sales are currently restricted to the United Kingdom.

Payment providers’ access to this data:

Depending on the provider you choose to make a transaction with, they will have access to this data.

WorldPay has access to your billing details so they can process the transaction. You can see their privacy policy at https://www.worldpay.com/uk/privacy-policy.

PayPal has access to your billing details so they can process the transaction. You can see their privacy policy at https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

Additional information

Lawful basis

We process personal data under the following basis:

Contractual necessity: the processing of data that we need in order to carry out the work we provide for our customers. For example, we need to know the name, address and contact details of a customer who wants us to order a print, product or service or to create some design work for them. We also need to know where to send an invoice to if a purchase isn’t being made directly on this site.

How we protect your data

We have carried out a Privacy Impact Assessment for the data we collect from our website and email communications.  The website is secured by SSL, as is our email server, to encrypt transmissions between the server and the user’s computer. The number of website administrators with access to this data is kept to a minimum.

What data breach procedures we have in place

A ‘personal data breach’ means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed. We have the following procedures in place to deal with potential or real data breaches:

Detection and monitoring: we regularly monitor our website to see who is accessing it and we use online firewall technology to block any hacking or unauthorized access attempts. We receive an email from our security provider if there are any security issues occurring in our website. We are also in very close contact with our web host who is also on hand to identify any issues and alert us to them.

Response and reporting: If we detect a breach, we firstly investigate to establish the likelihood and severity of the resulting risk or damage to people’s rights and freedoms. We document the breach, and also the determination made regarding the risks to people’s rights and freedoms as a result. If we determine that this risk is significant, we will report the data breach to the ICO within 72 hours. If we determine that a risk to people’s rights and freedoms is unlikely, we will not report this, but we will still document the breach and explain why the risk was deemed unlikely.

If the data breach poses a high or severe risk to the rights and freedoms of people involved then we will inform those individuals of the data breach immediately and advise them of the steps we’re taking in response.

We will review this policy and update it periodically, please come back and check from time to time as we do so.

For any questions or enquiries regarding your privacy, please email us at rosartsuk@gmail.com.

This policy is effective from April 2015.
