1. Who This Policy Applies To

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by us in connection with the Website and our ecommerce activities.

For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, Quill and Colour Ltd is generally the controller of personal information described in this Policy. In some circumstances, we may process information on behalf of another organisation, in which case that organisation may be the controller.

2.2 Payment Information

Payments may be handled by third-party payment providers. We may receive information about a payment’s status, amount, payment method, and transaction reference.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember preferences, understand usage, and, where permitted, support analytics or advertising activities.

Some technologies are necessary for the Website to function. Other technologies may require your consent under applicable law. Where a cookie or consent tool is available, you can use it to review or change your preferences.

  • Other parties with your consent or at your direction.

We require service providers processing information on our behalf to protect it and use it only for authorised purposes, subject to applicable law.

7. International Data Transfers

Our service providers or other recipients may process personal information in countries outside the United Kingdom or the country in which you are located. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where required by law, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual protections. You may contact us using the details in Section 14 to request further information about applicable safeguards.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymise it, or securely retain it only where required or permitted by law.
