What we do with your data

When you buy from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we store the personal information you provide, such as your name, address and e-mail address.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP address) in order to obtain information that helps us learn more about your browser and operating system.

Email marketing (where applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products and other updates.

How we obtain your consent

When you provide us with your personal information to complete a transaction, verify a credit card, place an order or return a purchase, you consent to the storage of data and the use of personal information for those specific purposes only.

If we need your personal information for another use (e.g. marketing), we will ask for your consent specifically for that use, giving you the opportunity to opt out.

How to withdraw your consent

If you wish, after providing your data, you can withdraw your consent at any time. This will prevent us from contacting you to obtain or disclose information. To withdraw your consent, please contact us at info@portandfriends.com.

How long we store your data

Your data is stored for an indefinite period.

On the transfer of your data under the law

We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or if you breach our terms and conditions.

On the transfer of data to third-party services

In general, our suppliers will collect, use and disclose your information only to the extent necessary for them to perform the services they provide to us.

Certain service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in relation to the information we are required to provide to them about purchase-related transactions.

With regard to these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies to find out how your personal information will be used by them.

For example, if the payment is processed by a payment gateway in the United States, your personal information used to complete the transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States law, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store website or are redirected to a third-party application or website, you will no longer be governed by this Privacy Policy.
