Privacy Policy – The Architist

Introduction

The Architist operates this website and store, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services (collectively, the “Services”), in order to provide visitors with a carefully curated and personalised experience.

The Architist uses the Shopify platform to deliver the Services. Shopify provides the technical infrastructure that enables the Services to function.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and disclose personal information when you visit or use the Services, make a purchase, or otherwise communicate with us. In the event of any conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy will prevail with respect to the collection, processing and disclosure of personal information.

By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

Personal Information We Collect

When we refer to “personal information”, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, or can reasonably be linked to an identifiable individual. Personal information does not include data that has been anonymised or de-identified.

Depending on how you interact with the Services, we may collect the following categories of personal information:

  • Contact information, such as your name and email address

  • Financial information, such as payment method and transaction details (payments are processed securely by Shopify and its payment providers)

  • Account information, including preferences and settings

  • Transaction information, such as products viewed, saved, or purchased

  • Communications, including messages you send to us

  • Device and usage information, such as IP address, browser type, and interactions with the website

Sources of Personal Information

We may collect personal information from the following sources:

  • Directly from you, for example when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us

  • Automatically through cookies and similar technologies when you use the Services

  • From Shopify and other service providers acting on our behalf

  • From partners or third parties, where permitted by applicable law

How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information solely for legitimate business purposes, including:

  • Providing, maintaining and improving the Services

  • Processing transactions and managing accounts

Disclosure of Personal Information

We may share personal information with third parties in limited circumstances, including:

  • With Shopify and service providers who perform services on our behalf (such as payment processing, analytics, hosting and customer support)

  • With marketing and advertising partners, where permitted by law

  • When required to comply with legal obligations or to protect our rights, users or the Services

Third parties process personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify. Shopify processes personal information related to your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve its platform.

In certain cases, Shopify may use personal information collected from interactions with our store and other merchants to provide enhanced features. In these circumstances, Shopify acts as an independent data controller for such processing.
