Cubford does not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of exchanging personal information for money.

7. Shopify

Our online store is powered by Shopify.

Shopify may process personal information to host and operate the store, support transactions, provide technical services and maintain the security of its platform.

Shopify may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom. Shopify’s own privacy notices provide further information about how it processes personal information.

Cubford remains responsible for explaining how we use personal information in connection with our store.

8. Analytics and Advertising

We may use analytics services, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use our website and to improve its performance.

Where consent is required, analytics and advertising services will only be activated after you have selected the relevant options through our cookie consent tool.

Advertising providers such as Google, Meta or Microsoft may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • measure advertising performance;
  • limit how often advertisements are displayed;
  • create advertising audiences;
  • understand whether advertisements result in purchases; and
  • display advertisements that may be relevant to your interests.

You can control these technologies through the cookie settings available on our website and through the privacy and advertising settings provided by the relevant service providers.

9. International Transfers

Some of our service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred to a country that is not recognised as providing an adequate level of protection, we will use an appropriate safeguard or another transfer mechanism permitted by UK data protection law.

These measures may include approved contractual protections, recognised transfer agreements or other legally permitted safeguards.

You may contact support@cubford.com for further information about the safeguards relevant to your personal information.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

This may include retaining information to:

  • fulfil orders;
  • provide customer support;
  • process returns, refunds and complaints;
  • comply with tax, accounting and legal obligations;
  • prevent and investigate fraud;
  • resolve disputes; and
  • establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

The appropriate retention period will depend on:

  • the type of personal information;
  • the reason it was collected;
  • the nature of our relationship with you;
  • applicable legal requirements;
  • relevant limitation periods; and
  • the risk of fraud, complaints or disputes.

Marketing information will generally be retained until you unsubscribe, withdraw your consent or object to the processing.

We may retain limited suppression information after you unsubscribe to ensure that we continue to respect your marketing preferences.

When personal information is no longer required, we will delete it, anonymise it or securely restrict its use.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal conditions and exemptions.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request. We may also ask you to provide information that helps us locate the relevant records.

You will not normally be charged a fee for exercising your rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse a request where permitted by law, including where a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

To exercise your rights, contact:

Email: support@cubford.com

12. Automated Decision-Making

We may use automated systems to help identify potentially fraudulent, suspicious or high-risk transactions.

Where a decision is made solely through automated processing and produces legal or similarly significant effects, Cubford will comply with applicable legal requirements and provide any required information and safeguards.

13. Data Security

Cubford uses reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against:

  • unauthorised access;
  • accidental loss;
  • unlawful use;
  • alteration;
  • unauthorised disclosure; and
  • destruction.

However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for keeping your account password confidential. Please contact support@cubford.com promptly if you believe that your account or personal information has been compromised.

14. Children’s Personal Information

Our website is not intended to be used independently by children who are not legally able to enter into a purchase contract.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for marketing or profiling purposes without the permissions and safeguards required by law.

Please contact support@cubford.com if you believe that a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately.

15. Do Not Track Signals

Some internet browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting.

There is no universally accepted technical standard for responding to these signals. The cookie consent tool and cookie settings available on our website are the primary methods for controlling non-essential cookies and similar technologies.
