PRIVACY POLICY 1) TRANSACTION SECURITY
We take the privacy and security of your personal and payment details very seriously. The stencil-library.com web site is secure. We maintain the highest levels of security and regularly check our systems to make sure that any information you provide is securely dealt with and stored.
You can tell that a web page is secure by looking at your browser bar. On any page where you provide any personal information (eg the order page), 'https' will precede our web address in the browser address bar. A small locked padlock will also appear either on the browser bar or on the bottom bar of your browser window. Whilst no personal information is collected or needed on many pages on our site, for example, the stencil designs pages, we have still made these pages secure for your peace of mind.
2) YOUR PRIVACY
Your privacy and rights to control personal data is very important to us but in order for us to process any order you place, we will need to obtain some personal information from you. This information will only be used for the purposes of processing your order and will never be disclosed to any third party unless this disclosure is either, required by law, essential for the fulfillment of the order (for example: providing your name and address to a courier company so they can deliver to you), or in the course of the general maintenance of our web site. We do not and will not sell your data to third parties.
The prime purpose of collecting data is to be able to fulfill your order. When you make a purchase from our site, we do collect personal information from you: your name, delivery address, payment address, email address. All information is held on secure servers.
In order to fulfill your order, we do use third party banking and distribution institutions to handle credit/debit card/payment transactions and order delivery. They receive information needed to verify and authorize payment and deliver your order. All such organizations are also under strict obligation to keep your data private. We do not store your financial data, under any circumstances.
3) INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect information you voluntarily provide such as your name and email address through our opt-in mailing list. We also automatically collect certain information via cookies and similar technologies when you access or interact with us via our site.

Note: The Stencil Library does not target and is not intended to attract children under the age of 16. Although visitors of all ages may navigate through our site or engage with us on social media, we do not knowingly collect information from those under the age of 16 without parental consent. If a child under 16 has been registered on our site by using false information, following notification from a parent or legal guardian, or discovery by other means, we will remove the child’s personal information from our records.
4) HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Stencil Library uses the data we collect from you to provide you with the products that you requested. We also use data to communicate with you.
If you provide your email address as part of your order, we may only contact you to ask questions or provide information about this specific order as customer support, for example, to inform you your order has been dispatched or provide you with your order confirmation and payment receipt.
You are also able to opt-in to our mailing list when you check out. This is so we can provide you with information about special offers, new products or ranges. You have to opt-in to this list and you can opt-out at any time. We may also occasionally contact you if you have opted into our mailing list about our product and services for research purposes as we seek to make improvements to our range and how we serve you.
We do use cookies to enhance your experience using our website (detailed information below).
To deliver our products and services to you, we may need to transfer your data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), for example if you are requesting delivery overseas.
The safety and security of our customers is a priority and we may use information to detect and prevent fraud, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and fulfill legal obligations.
All of this processing is necessary to preserve our legitimate business interest.
5) HOW WE MAY SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Stencil Library has never sold and will not sell your personal information. We may share information with certain third parties for the reasons outlined and in the following cases:
We use a variety of third party vendors to host and manage our website, process payments, make email communications and ship your orders. We would only use such information as is necessary for the purposes of performing these functions on behalf of The Stencil Library.

6) THE LAWFUL BASES FOR USING PERSONAL INFORMATION
There are different legal bases that we rely on to use your personal information. Your purchase is the beginning of a contract between ourselves and we have to use your personal information to complete your purchase. We have a legitimate interest to improve our product and site, make updates to our site, notify you about information on our goods and services or for fraud detection or legal purposes. In summary:
• as needed to provide our goods and services, such as when we use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
• when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for our mailing list;
• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
• as necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests.
7) SECURITY, STORAGE AND RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Whilst we take every commercially viable precaution to guard your personal information, no security system is impenetrable.
