BUYING PRODUCTS ON OUR WEBSTORE

When purchasing a product from our website, we collect and process the information that you provide to us directly. Personal data such as your name and contact details will only be used to deliver your purchases and keep you informed of their status. Our lawful basis for processing your personal data in this instance is for the performance of a contract.  

To fulfil our legal obligations we use your data to ensure we comply with any requirements imposed on us by law or court order, including disclosure to law or tax enforcement agencies and authorities or pursuant to legal proceedings. We will share data with regulatory and other official bodies if they make formal requests and records will be maintained to meet regulatory and tax requirements. 

Although we endeavour to ensure PayPal will do its best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data entered via ePayment web pages, apps, or portals. Please ensure you refer to their full Privacy Policy before making your payment: Any transmission is at your own risk and you should take the appropriate steps in respect of this risk. For PayPal, the information will be collected and processed by PayPal and PayPal as the payment service provider will authorise your payment, either from your PayPal balance or by contacting the issuer of your registered payment card.  

HOW LONG YOUR INFORMATION WILL BE KEPT FOR

North West Barber Co. will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

We will also retain usage data for internal analysis purposes. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods. 

WHERE YOUR INFORMATION IS KEPT 

Your information is stored behind the Privacy Shield on secure servers provided by Resurva. Any payment transactions are encrypted. Sending information via the internet is not completely secure, although we will do our best to protect your information and prevent unauthorised access. 

ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION AND CORRECTION

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you. This will normally be free, unless we consider the request to be unfounded or excessive, in which case we may charge a fee to cover our administration costs.   

If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, please contact info@northwestbarberco.com .

We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up-to-date. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate.

You have the right to ask us to object to our use of your personal information, or to ask us to delete, remove or stop using your personal information if there is no need for us to keep it.

We email e-newsletters to inform you about products, services and treatments provided by our barbershop. You have the opportunity to unsubscribe from e-newsletters at any time.

E-newsletters may contain subscriber tracking facilities within the actual email, for example, whether emails were opened or forwarded, which links were clicked on within the email content, the times, dates and frequency of activity.
