​

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

Direct interactions. You may give us your Identity, Contact and Financial Data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or through chat or social media.

​

This includes personal data you provide when you:

• create an account on our website;

• create designs from products on our website;

• order our products or services;

Automated technologies or interactions. As you interact with us, including via the designki.com website, we may automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We may also collect Tracking Data when you use our website, or when you click on one of our adverts (including those shown on third party websites).

Third parties or publicly available sources. We may receive personal data about you from various types of third parties, including:

• Technical Data and/or Tracking Data from analytics providers, advertising networks and search information providers;

• Contact, Financial and Transaction Data from providers of payment and fraud prevention services;

Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
   

5.  How we use your personal data

 

• Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you. For example, when you purchase our products, that’s a contract.

• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. For example, when we carry out fraud screening as part of the check-out process.

• Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. For example, keeping records of our sales for tax compliance.

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than where the law requires it, for example in relation to sending certain direct marketing communications. Where our legal basis is consent, you have the right to withdraw consent any time.

​

6. Advertising, marketing and your communications preferences

 

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Tracking, Usage and Profile Data 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. For example, you might have the designk's newsletter hit your inbox or an awesome promotion delivered on your door mat.

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 designki 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 (but we’d be really sorry to see you go, so please gives us a chance by fine tuning your preferences before really leaving us!). The easiest way to opt out is to use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the communication.

​

Of course, there are lots of different ways you’ll see adverts from designki, and not all of these are based on using personal data – sometimes we just buy good old-fashioned advertising space in the real world and websites and social media. If you see designki’s adverts on websites and in social media, these may not be directed specifically at you. But here’s some things we may do that may be specifically directed at you:

• emails, for example the designki newsletter;

• text messages, for example with discount codes;

• promotions by post, such as great money off shipping offers, or from our trusted retail partners; and/or

• phone calls, to tell you something that might be relevant to you and your business.

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.

​
