Privacy Notice
INTRODUCTION
Paper Pen & Mug is firmly committed to the security and protection of Personal Information of our Users and their contacts. This privacy policy (”Privacy Policy”) describes how Paper Pen & Mug will collect, use, share and process Personal Information.
We respect your rights to privacy and to the protection of your personal information. The purpose of this privacy notice is to explain how we collect and use personal information for the provision of our services and the day to day running of our business.
THE INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT AND PROCESS FROM YOU
To allow us to provide our services and to run our business, we collect and process various categories of personal data from you which you volunteer when you provide such personal data to us, or via our services with which you interact. We may also be given other personal data relating to you by other persons, or we may obtain such other personal data about you as may be provided to us in the course of our legitimate business activities.
We may collect and process data, including the following in the course of providing services to you, which could contain your personal data: your full name; email addresses or your various phone numbers including mobile phone numbers and all other Data which you ask us to process on your behalf, or which is necessary for us to process in order for us to fulfil our role as providing our services to you.
SECURITY AND WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We are committed to protecting the security of your personal data. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorised access and use. As effective as modern security practices are, no physical or electronic security system is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee the complete security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. We will continue to revise policies and implement additional security features as new technologies become available.
All records (e.g. Name and contact details/photos) are stored on Noílín Dempsey’s electronic devices (such as laptop/phone/ipad) and all devices are protected with passwords only known to the user – Noílín. No paper records are retained.
The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and may involve the transfer of data to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). This occurs typically through use of cloud solutions for web hosting, email hosting or proprietary software solutions delivered to us through the Cloud. We do not however authorise any third party to use your personal data for their own purposes. Non EEA countries may not provide an adequate level of protection in relation to processing your personal data. By submitting your data, you agree to this transfer, storing and processing.
Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to us. Any transmission of data is at your own risk. Once we receive your personal data, we use appropriate security measures to seek to prevent unauthorised access.
WHO HAS ACCESS TO YOUR RECORDS AND WHY
Noílín Dempsey is the only person who has access to your records directly. In all cases where a third party is involved (Mailchimp), Noílín has ensured that these companies are fully compliant with GDPR.
We may also be required under law to surrender records to a legal authority. We will inform you of any such request unless it is forbidden by law.
Please understand, it is not possible to treat you or to deliver the services and products you request, if we cannot hold any records on you at all.
