Improving NORTH 43°

Marketing

Where permitted by law, we may use your information to send you news, product releases, offers and other marketing communications.

Where consent is required, we will only send this marketing where you have provided the appropriate consent.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link contained within them.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending essential communications relating to your orders or account.

Security and Fraud Prevention

We may use personal information to protect NORTH 43°, our customers and our website, including to:

  • Detect or prevent fraudulent transactions;
  • Investigate suspicious or malicious activity;
  • Protect the security of our website and systems;
  • Verify transactions where necessary.

Legal Obligations

We may process personal information where necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders or lawful requests from public authorities.

We may also process information where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

4. OUR LAWFUL BASES FOR PROCESSING

Where UK data protection law applies, we process personal information only where we have an appropriate lawful basis.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Contract — where processing is necessary to fulfil an order or otherwise perform a contract with you.

Legal obligation — where we need to process information to comply with a legal requirement.

Legitimate interests — where processing is reasonably necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests do not override your rights and freedoms. This may include fraud prevention, website security and improving our services.

Consent — where you have given us permission to process information for a particular purpose, such as certain forms of direct marketing or non-essential cookies where consent is required.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

5. HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not disclose your personal information unnecessarily.

We may share information with companies that help us operate NORTH 43°, including:

  • Shopify;
  • Payment processors;
  • Delivery and fulfilment providers;
  • Website and IT service providers;
  • Analytics providers;
  • Marketing and advertising providers where applicable;
  • Professional advisers where necessary.

These organisations may process information only as necessary to provide their respective services or in accordance with their own applicable legal obligations.

We may also disclose personal information where required by law, court order or another valid legal process.

If NORTH 43° or substantially all of its business or assets were sold, transferred or reorganised, relevant personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable data protection law.

6. SHOPIFY

Our online store is hosted by Shopify.

Shopify processes certain personal information when you visit and use our store in order to provide its ecommerce services to us and our customers.

Information submitted through our store may therefore be transmitted to and processed by Shopify and its service providers.

Shopify may also process certain information independently for purposes described in its own privacy documentation.

You can find more information about how Shopify processes customer information in the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy and through Shopify’s Privacy Portal.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies can be used to:

  • Keep the website functioning correctly;
  • Remember preferences;
  • Understand how visitors use our website;
  • Improve website performance;
  • Measure the effectiveness of marketing;
  • Provide relevant advertising where applicable.

Where required by law, non-essential cookies will not be used without your consent.

9. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

Our website may contain links to websites, social media platforms or services operated by third parties.

Those websites have their own privacy practices and policies.

NORTH 43° is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites that we do not control.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party service you use.

10. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our online store is not specifically directed towards children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children where doing so would be unlawful.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, delete the information.

11. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

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

How long information is retained may depend on factors including:

  • Whether you have an active customer account;
  • Our need to fulfil and maintain records of orders;
  • Customer service requirements;
  • Accounting, tax and other legal obligations;
  • Fraud prevention;
  • Resolving disputes;
  • Establishing or defending legal claims.

When information is no longer required, we will delete or anonymise it where appropriate.

12. SECURITY

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic communication or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore avoid sending sensitive information to us through insecure communication channels.

13. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Some of the companies that provide services to NORTH 43°, including Shopify and its service providers, may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by applicable data protection law.

These may include recognised adequacy arrangements or approved contractual safeguards for international data transfers.

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights relating to your personal information.

These can include the right to:

Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

Correction
Ask us to correct personal information that is inaccurate or incomplete.

Deletion
Ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances.

Restriction
Ask us to restrict how your personal information is processed in certain circumstances.

Object

Data portability
Request that certain personal information be provided to you, or another organisation, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format where applicable.

Withdraw consent
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to exemptions under applicable law.
