The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to provide you with a clear explanation of when, why and how we collect and use your personal information, as well as an explanation of your statutory rights.

2. What information do we collect?

We collect two types of information regarding our Visitors and Users:
-
Un-identified and non-identifiable information pertaining to a Visitor or un-identified User, which may be made available to us, or collected automatically via his/her use of the Services (“Non-personal Information”). Such Non-personal Information does not enable us to identify the Visitor or User from whom it was collected. The Non-personal Information collected by us mainly consists of technical and aggregated usage information, such as Visitors’ and Users’ browsing and ‘click-stream’ activity on the Services, session heatmaps and scrolls, non-identifying information regarding the Visitor’s or User’s device, operating system, internet browser, screen resolution, language and keyboard settings, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, etc.
-
Individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable efforts cause the identification of an individual, or may be of private or sensitive nature (“Personal Information”). The Personal Information collected by us mainly consists of contact details (e.g., e-mail address or phone number), billing details (name, physical billing address, payment method and transaction details), which are only collected from Users with Paid Services, details regarding a browsing or usage session (IP address, Geo-location and/or device unique identifier), details regarding connected third party accounts (such as the e-mail or username for a connected PayPal, Google or Facebook account), scanned identification documents provided to us (such as an ID card, driver’s license, passport or official company registration documents), correspondences (including those made through or uploaded to our Services), and any other Personal Information provided to us by Visitors and/or Users through their access to and/or use of the Services.

10. Your rights in relation to your personal information
In general, your personal information is not shared directly with Third Parties. If you wish to see what personal information we hold on you, you may request it by sending an email to philip at londonfurniturecompany.com. Before disclosing the requested Personal Information, we may ask you for additional information in order to confirm your identity and for security purposes (such as a photocopy of your passport). We reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law.​
​
11. Data Retention
We may continue to retain your Personal Information even after your order has been filled, as reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, prevent fraud recognised and abuse, enforce our agreements and/or protect our legitimate interests. Where your Personal Information is no longer required we will ensure it is securely deleted.
​
12. Is your data secure?
We aim to always secure the Personal Information you share with us, including physical, electronic and procedural measures. Among other things, we offer HTTPS secure access to most areas on our Website; the transmission of sensitive payment information (such as a credit card number) through our designated purchase forms is processed by leading card processing companies that meet industry standards in their encrypted connections and other certification.
​
Regardless of the measures and efforts taken by LFC, we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute protection and security of your Personal Information, your Users-of-Users’ Information or any other User Content you upload, publish or otherwise share with Wix or anyone else.
We therefore encourage you to set strong passwords for your User Account and avoid providing us or anyone with any sensitive information of which you believe its disclosure could cause you substantial or irreparable harm. Furthermore, because certain areas on our Services are less secure than others (for example, if you set your Support forum ticket to be “Public” instead of “Private”, or if you browse to a non-SSL page), and since e-mail and instant messaging are not recognized as secure forms of communications, we request and encourage you not to share any Personal Information on any of these areas or via any of these methods.
​
If you have any questions regarding the security of our Services, you are welcome to contact us at philip at londonfurniturecompany.com
​
However, as we can’t guarantee absolute protection – we encourage you to be careful, set a strong password for your account, and avoid submitting any sensitive information which, if exposed, could cause you major harm.
