Privacy policy


Seagrass Designs' Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services.

Information I collect ~

To fulfil your order, you need to provide me with certain information such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.

Why I need your information and how I use it ~

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

~ As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;

~ When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;

~ If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and

~ As necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services.

Information sharing and disclosure ~

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows :

~ Service providers. I engage delivery companies to perform functions and provide services to my business. I will share your personal information only to the extent necessary to perform this service.

~ Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

Data retention ~

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.

Your rights ~

~ Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me.

~ Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (such as where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.

~ Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

How to contact me ~

For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Joanna Thearle, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at :
