Knack is located in the United States

The Site is hosted in the United States and is governed by United States law. If you are outside the United States when you visit the Site or engage in communications with us via mail, e-mail or telephone, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States where our servers are located, and our central database is operated. Knack is a US company and any information you provide to us, or that we collect through your use of our products and services and that is necessary to provide you with the products and services, will be stored, processed, and transferred within, or to, the United States. Please be aware that the US and jurisdictions other than the one in which you are located may not provide the same level of data protection as considered adequate in your country.   Note that your personal information may be available to the US Government or its agencies under legal process in the United States. 

Residents in the European Economic Area (EEA)

For residents of the European Economic Area (EEA), your personal information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which has data protection laws that are different than those in your country and may not be as protective. 

Residents of Canada

If you are based in Canada, please note that we may process, store, and transfer your personal information in and to a foreign country, with different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as Canadian law.

 

In these circumstances, the governments, courts, law enforcement, or regulatory agencies of that country may be able to obtain access to your personal information through the laws of the foreign country. Whenever we engage a service provider, we require that its privacy and security standards adhere to this policy and applicable Canadian privacy legislation.

• Request portability of your personal information;
• Withdraw consent to our use of your personal information; Object to automated decision making using your personal information; and

To withdraw consent or exercise any of the above rights, please:

• Contact us via email at privacy@knackbags.com; or 
• Adjust your preferences through the Account preferences (if available).

 

If you are based in the UK or EEA, whenever we transfer your personal information out of the EEA, such as to third party service providers, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We will only transfer your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal information the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
• Where we use providers based in the U.S., we may transfer information to them if they are part of the EU or Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks and their UK extensions, which require them to provide similar protection to personal information shared between Europe and the U.S. For further details, see here.

 

Please contact us at privacy@knackbags.com if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal information out of the EEA.

10. Security

The security of your personal information is important to us and Knack is committed to handling such information carefully. We maintain appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information. We use secure socket layer technology to protect the security of your payment information and we encrypt your personal information when it is sent over the Internet. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and personal information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

For more information about the security measures we have implemented to protect your personal information, please contact us at privacy@knackbags.com.

Shopify

Our e-commerce store is hosted on Shopify Inc. Shopify provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.  Your data is stored by Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall. More information about Shopify’s security measures around personal information can be found here.

11. Payment

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then our service provider Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers. For more insight, you may also want to read Shopify’s Terms of Service (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or Privacy Statement (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy). We may use other third party payment processors when you make a purchase.  These providers are also required to comply with the PCI-DSS industry standard when processing your payments to us.  At no time does Knack have access to your financial information.  You are encouraged to review these companies’ privacy policies to learn how they handle your personal information.

12. Information Retention

How long will you use my personal information for?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint, if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you or if required by law, regulation or judicial order.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

We will retain your personal information only for as long as your account is active, as needed to provide you services that you request, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.  

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your information: see below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

13. Managing your Personal Information and Options

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal information. All users of the Site are provided the following rights and options to manage their personal information:  

• Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new information you provide to us.
• Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
• Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
• Request restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal information in the following scenarios:
  • If you want us to establish the information's accuracy.
  • Where our use of the information is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
  • Where you need us to hold the information even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • You have objected to our use of your information, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
• Request the transfer of your personal information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products and/or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at privacy@knackbags.com.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request additional information, including limited personal information, from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it and to identify you in our systems. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.  We will not use this additional information for any other purposes.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
