  • From delivery, fulfilment or other service providers where necessary to receive information relating to the processing or delivery of your order

We do not obtain personal information from data brokers for the purpose of selling or marketing products to you.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information only where we have a lawful basis to do so under UK data protection law.

Contract
We process personal information where necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform our contract with you. This includes:

  • Processing and fulfilling orders
  • Delivering products
  • Sending order confirmations and tracking updates
  • Providing customer support relating to your order
  • Processing returns, cancellations and refunds

Legal obligation
We may process personal information where necessary to comply with legal, accounting, tax or other regulatory obligations.

Legitimate interests
Where appropriate, we may process personal information for our legitimate business interests, including:

  • Preventing fraud and unauthorised transactions
  • Protecting the security of our website and services
  • Improving our website, services and customer experience
  • Handling and resolving customer enquiries or disputes

We only rely on legitimate interests where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Consent
Where consent is required, including for certain marketing communications or non-essential cookies and similar technologies, we will ask for your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

We will not use your personal information for purposes that are incompatible with those described in this Privacy Policy unless permitted or required by law.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share personal information only where necessary for the operation of our business, the fulfilment of orders, compliance with legal obligations or the provision of services to you.

This may include sharing information with:

  • Shopify and related service providers that support our online store
  • Payment providers used to process transactions securely
  • Established UK suppliers, fulfilment partners and distribution partners involved in processing or fulfilling orders
  • Delivery and courier providers used to deliver orders
  • Professional advisers such as accountants, legal advisers or insurers where necessary
  • Government authorities, regulators or law enforcement where disclosure is required by law

We only share the personal information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Some of our service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we ensure that the transfer is permitted under applicable UK data protection law. This may include relying on UK adequacy regulations or appropriate contractual or other safeguards where required. You may contact TechFinder UK using the details below if you would like further information about the safeguards applicable to international transfers of your personal information.

We require service providers that process personal information on our behalf to handle that information in accordance with applicable data protection requirements and appropriate contractual safeguards.

6. Data Security

Protecting your personal information is important to us.

Our website uses secure encrypted connections to help protect personal information during transmission. We also rely on Shopify's secure infrastructure and take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

Although no online service can guarantee absolute security, we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your data.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including fulfilling orders, providing customer support, meeting legal and tax obligations, preventing fraud and resolving disputes.

Order and transaction records may be retained for the period required by applicable tax, accounting and legal requirements. As a sole trader, TechFinder UK is required to retain certain business and tax records for the periods specified by HM Revenue & Customs.

Customer support correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to enquiries, manage orders, resolve disputes and maintain appropriate business records.

Website, security and fraud-prevention information may be retained for periods appropriate to the relevant security or fraud-prevention purpose.

Where personal information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised where appropriate.

  • The right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
  • The right to object to certain processing, including processing based on legitimate interests
  • The right to data portability in certain circumstances
