Who we are

The Light Room Creation is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you visit our website TheLightRoomCreation.co.uk and make purchases. By using our services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

What Data We Collect

When you visit our website or make a purchase, we may collect the following personal data:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Postal address
  • Telephone number
  • Payment information (processed securely through a third-party payment processor)
  • IP address

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience and provide you with personalized content. When you visit our website, we ask for your consent to use cookies. By clicking “Accept”, you agree to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy.

  • Essential cookies: These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the website and cannot be switched off in our systems.
  • Performance and functional cookies: These cookies are used to improve the functionality of the site and enhance your user experience.
  • Third-party cookies: We also use cookies from third-party services, such as embedded videos, analytics, or advertising partners.

You may opt-out of certain cookies by managing your cookie preferences in your browser settings.

Cookies related to comments:

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We may share your personal data with trusted third-party providers in order to facilitate our services, such as:

  • Payment processors
  • Shipping companies
  • Email marketing services
  • Analytics providers
  • Hosting services

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, contractual, and accounting obligations. If we do not require your data for the purposes for which it was originally collected, we will securely delete it.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However, we may not be able to comply with this request in certain circumstances, such as when the data is required for legal, contractual, or legitimate business purposes. For example, we may need to keep your data for a period of up to 6 years for accounting or tax purposes. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. We will inform you of any valid exceptions when responding to erasure requests.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We may also transfer your personal data to third parties (such as hosting providers or analytics services) only when necessary for the operation of the website, and we ensure that these third parties provide adequate protection for your data.

Your Data Protection Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to access: You can request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to rectification: You can request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • Right to erasure: You can request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain exceptions. However, we may not be able to delete data that we are required to retain for legal, contractual, or legitimate business purposes (such as tax or accounting records).
  • Right to restriction of processing: You can request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
  • Right to data portability: You can request that we provide your personal data in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
  • Right to object: You can object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at Wonderful.Choice@outlook.com. We will respond to your request within one month, unless an extension is necessary under the GDPR, in which case we will notify you of the delay.

How We Protect Your Data

We take the protection of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure it. These measures include:

  • Encryption of sensitive data during transmission
  • Regular security audits
  • Restricting access to personal data to authorised personnel only

International Data Transfers

We may transfer your personal data to third parties outside the UK for processing. In such cases, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with UK GDPR. This includes ensuring that any transfer to countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries where we operate, is protected in compliance with data protection laws equivalent to those in the UK.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the date of the latest update will be indicated at the bottom of the policy.
