Under certain circumstances you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, as follows:

The right to access the personal data we hold on you and other information about how we use it, who we share it with, where we obtain it, and how long we keep it for. We will usually have one month to respond, except for complex or multiple requests where this may be extended by a further two months.

The right to request that we correct and update any inaccurate or out of date personal data we hold about you.
The right to data portability, which means the right to receive an electronically readable copy of your data, where your personal data was collected with your consent or under performance of contract, and our processing of that personal data is carried out by automated means.
The right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time, where such processing is subject to your consent.
The right to object to the processing of your personal data or to request that we erase your data, where we no longer have a legitimate reason for processing such data or it is being processed unlawfully.

If you wish to exercise any of your rights above or raise a complaint around how we have handled your personal data, please contact [email protected].

We may ask for more information from you to verify your identity or clarify the nature of your request before we can respond in full.

How do you use cookies?

What are cookies?
A cookie is a computer file consisting of letters and numbers which is installed on your device when you visit a website and which allow our website to recognize a user and retain that user’s preferences when they return. Cookies do not collect data, instead they serve to act as unique identifiers, or information caches, which can be used to identify a user’s preferences, settings or previous activity and which in turn enable website operators to provide an optimized, improved and more individualized browsing experience.

Some internet browsers will temporarily store website data using a process known as ‘caching’. The creation of a website cache may improve loading speed and responsiveness and, in some cases, provide offline functionality. Most internet browsers support HTML 5 which permits website caching. Website caching typically requires greater storage capacity than cookies which, in turn, may provide greater improvements in speed and functionality.

How do you use cookies?
Cookies distinguish you from other users of our website. We and our partners use cookies to store your regional shop preference, for website analytics and to allow you to make purchases and related payments. This allows us to optimize your individual browsing experience and improve our service to you.

Our partners including Printify and Google Analytics will also drop cookies on your device when you browse our site and make purchases.

How do I manage cookies?
Whilst we advise that you allow the installation of cookies on your browser or device when using our website, you are not obliged to do so and you can choose to reject cookies by adjusting the settings for your browser or device. You can also delete those which already exist using the settings on your browser and/or device (however, this may interfere with your use of our website and adversely affect your browsing experience).
