4. Customer-Supplied Photos, Images and Artwork
Where you provide a photograph, image, logo, design, artwork or other file for engraving or personalisation, we use that material only as necessary to provide the product or service you have requested.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the appropriate rights or permission to provide any photograph, image, logo, artwork or other material that you submit.
You should avoid providing personal information about other individuals unless it is necessary for your order and you are authorised to provide it.
We may make reasonable technical or formatting adjustments to supplied artwork or images where necessary to produce the requested product.
5. Shopify and Shopify Payments
Our online store is operated using Shopify.
Shopify processes information necessary to provide the ecommerce platform and related services used to operate our store.
Payments are processed using Shopify Payments. Information necessary to process payments, prevent fraud, comply with legal requirements and provide payment services may therefore be processed by Shopify and relevant payment-service providers.
Engraved by Chris does not independently sell your personal information or provide your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Shopify may process information through its own affiliated companies, service providers and subprocessors as necessary to provide its services.
6. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information.
We do not provide customer information, photographs, artwork or other customer-supplied materials to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.
As the products are made by Engraved by Chris, customer information and supplied artwork are generally handled directly by us in order to produce and fulfil your order.
Information may be processed by Shopify and service providers where this is necessary to provide the Services, process payments, operate the storefront, arrange delivery, maintain security or prevent fraud.
We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to comply with a lawful request or legal obligation.
7. Accuracy of Information
You are responsible for ensuring that the personal information and order information you provide is accurate and kept up to date.
If you identify an error in information you have provided, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can determine whether the information can be corrected before your order is processed or dispatched.
8. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
You are also responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect any account or information used to access the Services.
No online service or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Order and transaction information may be retained for as long as necessary to fulfil orders, provide customer support, maintain appropriate business and financial records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Customer-supplied photographs, images, logos, artwork and other personalisation files are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant order and associated business purposes, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Where information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete or dispose of it.

11. Cookies
The Engraved by Chris website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for the operation, security and functionality of the website and Shopify storefront.
Shopify and other services used by the website may also use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as website functionality, security, analytics and other services.
Where consent is required for particular cookies or similar technologies, we will obtain that consent where required.
12. International Processing
Shopify operates internationally and information processed through Shopify may therefore be transferred to or processed in countries outside the United Kingdom.
Where required by applicable data protection law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers.
