How we use your information
We collect personal information for the following reasons:
To provide our service – We require some of your basic personal information so our services work as you would expect, for example, delivering your order to your correct address, providing access to our digital content, notifying you of changes to our services and dealing with customer service questions.
To bill our customers – We, along with our authorized payments processors, securely process your payment information to take payments, give refunds and to detect and prevent fraudulent activity. We will also update your payment information in the event that a payment is unsuccessful. You can manage your payment information at any time through the Your Account page on our site, or by contacting customer service.
To communicate with you via our newsletters – We want you to get the most out of our Sites. To do so we offer a Newsletter with carefully-curated special offers, sales and feature announcements. You are able to change your newsletter preferences through the footer of any of our emails.
To improve our Sites – we use cookies to understand how our customers use our Sites and interact with our communications. For example, we use technology on our Sites that records user movements, which pages are most popular, and how navigation options are used. This helps us to identify usability issues and improve the assistance we can provide to users and is also used for aggregated and statistical reporting purposes. We also use cookies to understand what type of device you are using to show you the best version of the site.
Who we share your personal information with
We work with service providers who help to support our business and improve our products. These service providers include, for example, email providers for delivery of our regular newsletters; organisations that host our Sites or databases; and providers of site analytics services. We have contracts in place with these data processors and they can only use your personal information under our instruction. For example, if you subscribe to our newsletters, we will disclose your email address to our distribution partners to facilitate delivery of our newsletter.
How to manage cookies
If you wish to manage your cookies, you can do so via your browser settings. For more information, please visit your browser’s help page. Please remember that if you choose to disable cookies, certain sections of our Sites may not work properly.
We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics tool. If you wish to opt out of having cookies placed on your device for Google Analytics you can do so by using Google’s opt-out browser add-on, which helps make opting out easy and convenient.
How long we retain your personal information
We retain the majority of your personal information for as long as your account is active and therefore open; this allows you to continue accessing our products and services. If you become inactive – if you do no have an active membership, or have not ordered from us for several years, we may delete elements of the information associated with your account. We will normally warn you if your access is going to be withdrawn and give you the opportunity to retain your account.
Where we don’t need to keep all of your information in full, we will obfuscate or aggregate it, primarily in our site activity logs. This is to ensure that we do not retain your information for any longer than is necessary.
Lawful basis for processing
We only process personal information where we have a lawful basis for doing so, such as the following:
User consent – This is where you have given us explicit permission to process personal information for a given purpose. For example, if you subscribe to our newsletters, we ask for your consent before adding your email address to our subscriber list.
Legitimate interest – This is where we have a legitimate interest, as a business, to process personal information. For example, where we are aware of copyright infringements on our Site, it is in our legitimate interests as a business to identify those responsible. We take due care to balance our interests against your right to privacy.
Contractual necessity – This is where we have to process personal information to meet our contractual obligations. For example, if you have ordered a poster from us, we would need to process your delivery address to fulfill your order.
Legal obligation – This is where we have to process personal information in order to comply with the law. For example, we process and retain customer invoice information to comply with U.S. state tax regulations.
