How long do I keep your information

I review my retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. I may be legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil my statutory obligations.

I will hold your personal information on my systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity.

Who has access to your information?

I will not sell your information to third parties. I will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes other than the marketing of my own products and services.

I may use nominated third parties working on behalf of myself for the purpose of providing services to you. This may include marketing controlled by and about myself.

Third party service providers working on my behalf

I may pass your information to our third party service providers or subcontractors for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on my behalf. However, when I use third party service providers, I disclose only the information that is necessary to deliver the service. Please be reassured that I will not release your information to third parties beyond this unless you have requested me to do so, or I am required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.

Primary third party providers

I use the following third party providers as part of supplying you with goods and services. They may collect data about you on my behalf and I may share your data with them.

Marketing

I will not directly contact you for marketing purposes by email, phone, text message or social media unless you have given prior consent.

When using social media I may contact you publicly (for example by replying or commenting) but will ask for consent before sending you a direct message unless you have direct messaged me.

Gaining consent

When you provide me with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, or visit our website, I imply that you consent to me collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

If I ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, I will ask you directly for your explicit consent.

Withdrawing consent

If you wish to withdraw consent, including withdrawing from marketing communication, then this can be done by contacting me at hello@durrans.com

Accessing and updating your information

The accuracy of your information is important to me. If the data I hold about you is inaccurate or if you wish to make a Subject Access Request you can contact me by emailing hello@durrans.com

Transferring your information outside of Europe

As part of the services offered to you, and the third parties I use to provide these services, the information which you provide to me may be transferred outside of Europe. Modern websites use content delivery networks and distributed hosting to ensure that all customers are given the best website experience. My third party providers are global organisations and host data on servers located across the world.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to me. When you browse my website or enter sensitive information, I encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

I follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to me, both during transmission and once I receive it. If you have any questions about security on my website you can contact me at hello@durrans.com
