We collect personal data in a few different contexts, depending on how you interact with our website. Below, we describe each category of data, why we collect it, and the legal basis on which we rely.

3.1 When You Visit the Site

When you browse our website, our server temporarily logs certain technical information, including your IP address, the date and time of your visit, the URL requested, the referring page, and details about your browser and operating system. This information is used to keep the site secure, diagnose technical issues, and ensure the website functions reliably. Legal basis: GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest).

3.2 When You Place an Order

To process and fulfill your order, we collect the information necessary to complete the transaction, including your name, billing and shipping address, email address, phone number (optional), and payment details. This information allows us to confirm your order, arrange delivery, and communicate with you about its status. Legal basis: GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) (performance of a contract).

3.3 When You Contact Us

If you reach out to us with a question, request, or comment, we store the content of your message together with your contact details so that we can respond appropriately and keep a record of our correspondence. Legal basis: GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and (f).

4. How We Share Your Data

We do not sell your personal data. We only share personal data with third parties in the following circumstances:

  • you have given us your explicit consent to share the information;
  • sharing is necessary to fulfill a contract with you, such as passing your shipping address to a carrier or your payment details to a payment processor;
  • we are required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request; or
  • we have a legitimate interest in sharing the data under GDPR Art. 6(1)(f), such as working with service providers who help us operate the store.

Any third party that processes personal data on our behalf is required to do so in accordance with applicable data protection law.

5. Cookies

Our website uses cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function correctly, such as those that keep your shopping cart working and allow you to browse securely. Optional cookies, such as those used for analytics or marketing purposes, are only placed on your device after you have given your consent through our cookie banner. You may withdraw or adjust your cookie preferences at any time.

6. Services We Use

Our online store is hosted on the Shopify platform, provided by Shopify Inc., located at 150 Elgin Street, Ottawa, ON, K2P 1L4, Canada. Shopify provides the underlying infrastructure that allows us to operate our store, process orders, and store data securely.

Payments made on our store are processed by our configured payment providers. When you complete a payment, your payment information is handled directly by these providers, each of which operates under its own privacy policy governing how your payment data is collected, used, and protected. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of the payment provider you choose at checkout.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding the personal data we hold about you. These include the right to:

  • request access to your personal data (GDPR Art. 15);
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data (Art. 16);
  • request deletion of your data (Art. 17);
  • request restriction of processing (Art. 18);
  • request data portability (Art. 20);
  • withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal (Art. 7(3));
  • lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@LakinLiving.shop. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law.

8. Right to Object

Where we process your personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest, you have the right to object to that processing at any time under GDPR Art. 21. If you object, we will no longer process your data for those purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of a legal claim.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page, and we encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
