Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 26 May 2023 | Effective Date: 26 May 2023

This Privacy Policy describes the policies of emmabakerstudio, email: emmabakerstudio@gmail.com, on the collection, use, and disclosure of your information that we collect when you use our website (www.emmabakerstudio.uk) (the ‘Service’). By accessing or using the Service, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to the same, please do not access or use the Service.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT:

Personal information you disclose to us:

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services, for example, by subscribing to our mailing list or submitting an enquiry, or otherwise when you contact us.

Personal information provided by you. The personal information we collect may include the following:

  • First and last name

  • Email address

  • Enquiries

Sensitive information. We do not process sensitive information.

Information automatically collected:

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Services, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. You can find out more about this in our Cookie Policy (further down this page).

The information we collect includes:

Log and usage data. Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use our Services which we record in our log files. Depending on how you interact with us, this log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type, and settings and information about your activity in the Services (such as date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files viewed, searches, and other actions you take such as which features you use).

Device data. We collect device data such as information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other device you use to access the Services. Depending on the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, hardware model, Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, operating system, and system configuration information.

Location data. We collect location data such as information about your device’s location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Services. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on you IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing to access the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device. However, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION:

We use your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our Services, including:

  • To respond to enquiries.

  • To provide you with the requested service.

  • To send administrative information to you, such as details about our products and services, changes to our terms and policies, and similar information.

  • To request feedback.

  • To send you marketing and promotional communications, in accordance with your marketing preferences. You can opt out of our marketing emails at any time.

  • To identify and analyse usage trends.

  • To determine the effectiveness of our marketing and promotional campaigns.

3. LEGAL BASES WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION:

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:

Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e. consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Performance of a contract. We may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services or at your request prior to entering a contract with you.

Legitimate interests. We may process your personal information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:

  • Send users information about special offers or discounts on our products and services.

  • Analyse how our Services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain users.

  • Support our marketing activities.

  • Understand how our products and services are used so we can improve user experience.

Legal obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

 

4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:

Vendors, consultants, and other third-party service providers. We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents (‘third parties’) who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information with any organisation apart from us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain it for the person we instruct. The categories of third parties we may share personal information with are as follows:

  • Data Analytics Services

  • Performance Monitoring Tools

  • Sales and Marketing Tools

  • Website Hosting Service Providers

We may also need to share your personal information in the following situations:

Business transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

 

5. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES:

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Policy (further down this page).

6. RETAINING INFORMATION:

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

7. KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SAFE:

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

8. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS:

In some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), and Canada, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or delete your personal information at any time, by contacting us at emmabakerstudio@gmail.com.

Withdrawing your consent. If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, by contacting us at emmabakerstudio@gmail.com. Please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, where applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

Opting out of marketing and promotional communications. You can unsubscribe from our marketing and promotional communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send, or by contacting us at emmabakerstudio@gmail.com. You will then be removed from the marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you – for example, to send you service-related messages that are necessary to respond to enquiries, for the provision of services, for administrative purposes, to request feedback, or for other non-marketing purposes.

Cookies and similar technologies. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove and reject cookies. If you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect certain features of our Services.

9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES:

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (DNT) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signal or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

10. PRIVACY POLICY UPDATES:

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, without any prior notice to you. The updated version will be indicated by an updated ‘Revised’ date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. We therefore encourage you to review this Privacy Policy frequently.

11. CONTACT US ABOUT THIS PRIVACY POLICY:

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy and the processing of your personal information, please contact us at emmabakerstudio@gmail.com. We will address your concerns in accordance with applicable law.  

Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 26 May 2023 | Effective Date: 26 May 2023

 

This Cookie Policy explains how emmabakerstudio (the ‘Company’, ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at www.emmabakerstudio.uk (the ‘Website’). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, emmabakerstudio) are called ‘first-party cookies’. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called ‘third-party cookies’. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as ‘essential’ or ‘strictly necessary’ cookies. They do not collect any of your personally identifiable data. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance user experience. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for analytics and reporting purposes. This is described in more detail below.

 

HOW CAN I CONTROL COOKIES?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by selecting your preferences in the cookie consent banner that appears when you visit our Website. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.

The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below. Please note that specific cookies served may vary depending on how you interact with our Website.

Analytics and customisation cookies:

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used, how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our Website for you.

HOW CAN I CONTROL COOKIES ON MY BROWSER?

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

 

OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES:

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called ‘tracking pixels’ or ‘clear gifs’). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognise when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

 

COOKIE POLICY UPDATES:

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, without any prior notice to you, in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated version will be indicated by an updated ‘Revised’ date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. We therefore encourage you to review this Cookie Policy frequently.
