Privacy policy.

Effective Date: July 2025
Website: www.dasheoflace.co.uk

At A Dåshe Of Låce, I deeply value your trust. This privacy policy is here to gently and clearly explain how your personal information is collected, used, and protected when you interact with my website, enquire about a commission, or place an order. Your privacy matters, and I promise to treat your information with the same care I give to the creative process itself.

1. What Information I Collect

When you use the website or get in touch, I may collect:

  • Your Name and Email Address (via the contact form or emails)

  • Your Message or Enquiry (including commission details)

  • Payment Information (handled securely via Squarespace’s payment system — I do not store card details)

  • Shipping Information (to deliver your artwork safely)

Like most websites, Squarespace may also automatically collect technical data (such as your IP address or browser type) via cookies to help the site run smoothly.

2. How Your Information Is Used

Your personal data is only ever used for meaningful purposes, such as:

  • Responding to your messages and commission enquiries

  • Processing and fulfilling your orders

  • Sending parcel tracking updates via shipping services

  • Keeping a record of our communication (for reference or legal requirements)

If I ever begin sending marketing emails in the future, you’ll always have the choice to opt out.

3. Do I Share Your Data?

I do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

However, in order to fulfil your order, some information (like your name and email address) may be shared with trusted services like shipping companies or payment processors (e.g. Squarespace Payments, Stripe, or PayPal).

These services are GDPR-compliant and only use your data to provide their specific function.

4. Cookies and Website Tools

This website is hosted on Squarespace, which uses cookies and similar technologies to help the site work properly, understand traffic, and provide basic analytics.

You’ll see a cookie banner when you first visit the site — and you can choose your preferences or disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.

5. How Your Data Is Stored

Any messages or customer emails are securely stored in my inbox and protected by strong passwords. I don’t download or print personal data unless absolutely necessary for your order.

Payment details are not stored or seen by me — they’re handled securely by Squarespace’s built-in payment system.

6. Your Rights (under GDPR)

As someone in the UK or EU, you have the right to:

  • Request a copy of any personal data I hold about you

  • Ask me to correct or delete your data

  • Withdraw your consent (if you gave any)

If you’d ever like to do this, simply email me at: connect@dasheoflace.co.uk

7. Data Retention

I will keep your personal information only for as long as it’s needed to complete your commission or order, or as required by legal or tax obligations.

After that, your data will be quietly and respectfully deleted.

8. Questions or Concerns?

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, or how your data is handled, feel free to reach out.
