7. Transfer of your information out of the UK and EEA
In order to run our website, we use a hosting service company called Shopify who operate in the Republic of Ireland and whose servers are based in Canada and the United States. Therefore, as a result of us using Shopify's services, your personal information may be transferred to the above locations for the purpose of providing our website services to you.
Whilst Canada does not have the same data protection laws as the UK and EEA it has been granted an adequacy decision by the European Commission under Article 45 of the General Data Protection Regulation, which means that personal data may be transferred there from the UK and EEA without any further safeguards being necessary.
While the European Commission has not given such a formal decision to the United States, Shopify gives the assurance that should any personal information be transferred to the United States, such a transfer will be subject to appropriate and suitable safeguards that are comparable with European Commission approved standards in order to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a misuse of your personal information.
If you would like further information please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).
