Welcome to MyGarnett,`s privacy policy. MyGarnett respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data.

  1. Introduction

This privacy policy tells you how MyGarnett uses your personal data when you visit our website www.mygarnett.com, interact with us, and buy our goods and services.

It also tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

MyGarnett addresses the personal data protection and terms in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, which is a European regulation on data protection and privacy (GDPR).

  1. The types of personal data we may collect include:

We collect a variety of information about customers and visitors to the MyGarnett website.

Personal data we collect fall into these categories:

  • Identity Data includes title, first name, last name.
  • Contact Data includes billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers.
  • Financial Data includes payment card details (these data are never stored, nor we have the access to full details of your payment card details)

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature.

However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

MyGarnett may also ask for “non-Personal information,” i.e., information that, alone, cannot be used to identify or contact you. You may be asked to submit non-Personal information with Personal information or separately. Such information may include IP address, profile information, aggregate user data, preferences, technical session information, browser type, information about your computer, hardware, software, or mobile device, including a device identifier, demographic information including gender, zip code and age, and navigational data including log files, server logs, clickstream data, and other data such as your location, where enabled, and language preference. User IP addresses are recorded for security and monitoring purposes. If you arrived at MyGarnett website via a link from another webpage, MyGarnett may receive aggregate or otherwise anonymous statistical information about your visit to the site. MyGarnett monitors customer traffic patterns and site usage to help develop the design and layout of the site, and to improve the content of website. MyGarnett may combine this automatically collected and other non-Personal information with Personal information, in which case MyGarnett will treat the combined information as Personal information under this Privacy Policy.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences. If you use any of these types of personal data on products you design or create on www.mygarnett.com, we will not be able to tell.

MyGarnett shares Personal Information with vendors who are performing services for the Company, such as the servers for email communications who are provided access to user’s email address for purposes of sending emails from us, providers of delivery services (e.g. Post) etc.

In general, the Personal Information you provide to MyGarnett is used to help communicate with you and executing your order.

This Privacy Policy does not limit in any way MyGarnett use or disclosure of Non-Personal Information and MyGarnett reserves the right to use and disclose such Non-Personal Information to our partners, advertisers and other third parties at our discretion.

If you provide MyGarnett with your credit card information, MyGarnett uses secure socket layer (“SSL”) technology to encrypt and protect the security of your personal information, including but not limited to your credit card number, when it is sent over the Internet. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy, or security measures of any other organization

Here is a list of cookies that MyGarnett use. MyGarnett has listed them here so you that you can choose if you want to opt-out of cookies or not.

This website uses third-party vendor such as Google AdWords, Facebook, Pinterest and Youtube service to advertise on third party websites to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who have not completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form to make an enquiry. Third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on someone is past visits to the https://www.mygarnett.com website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and privacy policy of the third-party vendor. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting Settings pages. By using this site, you represent that you are eligible to use this Site and services as MyGarnett`s Terms of use require.

To provide better content and service, MyGarnett`s website www.mygarnett.com uses the Google Analytics service. Please see their privacy policy.

  1. Payment information

MyGarnett uses third party payment processors Stripe and PayPal to process payments made for products and services via the Website. All online payments will be conducted in accordance with Payment Card Industry (PCI) data security standards (which are high!) and your billing information (which is only used by these payment processors for the purpose of performing fraud protection) is encrypted before being communicated to them. Subject to the below exceptions, your credit card details are communicated directly from your browser to these payment processors – MyGarnett never sees your full Permanent Account Number (PAN). This means that the payment form is either off-site or displayed in a frame on the payment page. We see only separately the last 4 digits and card type so that we can identify transactions made by a particular card and issue a refund.

For PayPal we only store the tokens required to identify the transaction with PayPal, issue refunds and identify transactions made using PayPal.

  1. Advertising, marketing and your communications preferences

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Tracking, Usage to form a picture of what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you and tell you about them. This is what we call direct marketing.

We may carry out direct marketing by email, phone, text or post.

On our website, we always try hard to make it really clear what we are doing and what communications you will be sent, whether it’s you deciding to sign up to the Newsletter or as part of creating an account or the purchase journey – and you have a right at any time to change your mind and say no thank you and opt out. The easiest way to opt out is to send us mail on help@mygarnett.com.

Of course, there are lots of different ways you will see adverts for MyGarnett out and about, and not all of these are based on using personal data. If you see MyGarnett adverts on websites and in social media, these may not be directed specifically at you, we might just have bid for the space. But here is some things we may do that may be specifically directed at you:

  • emails, for example the newsletter

We also work with partners to try and promote the reach of our adverts and use analytics and retargeting for this reason. We use Tracking Data to deliver relevant online advertising, including via websites and social media.

Tracking Data, and cookies, help us to deliver website and social advertising that we believe is most relevant to you and to potential new customers of MyGarnett. The cookies used for this purpose are often placed on our website by specialist organizations. We also use these cookies to implement retargeting strategies.

Cookies can also tell us if you have seen a specific advert, and how long it has been since you have seen it. This is helpful, because it means we can control the effectiveness of our adverts and control the number of times people might be shown our adverts (you know, before we risk become annoying). Cookies also help us understand if you have opened a marketing email because we don’t want to send you things you don’t read.

If you want more information about Tracking Data, cookies, see Cookies below.

Almost all the cookies that relate to advertising are part of third-party online advertising networks. If you’d like to read about how you can control which adverts you see online, see opt-out programs established by the Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Google.
