This Privacy Policy describes how and when we collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from us, contact us, or otherwise use our services through connemaracreativeartscentre.com or related sites and services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties we do not own or control, including the Connemara Creative Arts Centre or any third-party services you access through the Connemara Creative Arts Centre. You can reference the Connemara Creative Arts Centre Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.

Information We Collect

To fulfil your order, you must provide us with certain information (which you authorised Connemara Creative Arts Centre to provide), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the product details ordered. You may also provide us with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example) if you contact us directly.

Why We Need Your Information and How We Use It

We rely on several legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including as needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfil your order, settle disputes, or provide customer support. We use your information as necessary to comply with our obligations under the Connemara Creative Arts Centre Seller Policy and Terms of Use when you have provided affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for our mailing list. If necessary, comply with a legal obligation or court order concerning a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if tax law requires. As necessary for our legitimate interests, if your rights or interests do not override those legitimate interests, such as 1) providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services, and 2) Compliance with the Connemara Creative Arts Centre Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Information about our customers is important to our business. We share your personal information for minimal reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Ealaín na bhFiann | Connemara Creative Arts Centre. We share information with the Connemara Creative Arts Centre to provide you with our services and comply with our obligations under the Connemara Creative Arts Centre Seller Policy and Connemara Creative Arts Centre Terms of Use.
 

Service providers. We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to our shop, such as delivery companies. We will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

Business transfers. If we sell or merge our business, we may disclose your information as part of that transaction only to the extent permitted by law.

Compliance with laws. We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to (a) respond to legal processes or 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 our customers, or others.

Data Retention

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

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

We may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than yours. If we are deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, we rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

Your Rights

You have several rights concerning your personal information if you reside in certain territories, including the EU. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. We describe these rights below:

Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information below.

Change, restrict, delete. You may also have the right to change, restrict our use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where we are required to store data for legal reasons), we will generally delete your personal information upon request.

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

Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about our use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
