LEGAL BASIS FOR USING YOUR INFORMATION
Under UK data protection law, we rely on different lawful bases depending on why we use your information.
Contract
We use information where it is necessary to process an order, take payment, arrange delivery, manage a return or otherwise fulfil our agreement with you.
Legal obligation
We may retain and use certain information where required for accounting, tax, consumer protection or other legal obligations.
Legitimate interests
We may use information where reasonably necessary to operate, protect and improve STRIKZ, prevent fraud, respond to enquiries and maintain the security of the website, provided those interests do not override your rights.
Consent
Where consent is required, including certain marketing communications, we will rely on the consent you provide. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
EMAIL MARKETING
If you choose to subscribe to STRIKZ emails, we may send you information about products, releases, offers and other STRIKZ news.
You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in the email or by contacting:
hello@strikzgripsock.co.uk
Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending transactional messages relating to an order you have placed.
WHO WE SHARE INFORMATION WITH
We only share personal information where reasonably necessary to operate the store, fulfil orders, comply with the law or provide services to you.
This may include:
• Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform
• Payment processors
• Banks and payment providers
• Postal, delivery and courier services
• IT, website and hosting service providers
• Email and communications service providers
• Professional advisers where required
• Government, regulatory, law-enforcement or tax authorities where legally required
We do not sell customers' personal information to advertisers.
SHOPIFY
The STRIKZ online store is hosted using Shopify.
Shopify processes certain customer and website information in order to provide its ecommerce services.
Further information about how Shopify processes personal information is available through Shopify's own privacy information.
INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING
Some of the service providers used to operate the STRIKZ store may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate legal safeguards will be used where required by applicable data protection law.
HOW LONG WE KEEP INFORMATION
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to:
• Fulfil orders
• Deal with returns or disputes
• Maintain accounting and transaction records
• Comply with legal obligations
• Establish, exercise or defend legal claims
Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
SECURITY
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
The STRIKZ store is hosted through Shopify and uses HTTPS/SSL encryption.
No online service can guarantee absolute security.
COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
The website may use cookies and similar technologies required for functions including:
• Shopping cart and checkout
• Account and session functionality
• Website security
• Remembering preferences
• Measuring website use and performance
Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, customers will be given an appropriate choice.

• The right to access personal information held about you

• The right to request deletion of information in certain circumstances
• The right to restrict processing in certain circumstances
