Privacy Policy

At The Italian Handbag Company, I am committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of visitors to my website and to the integrity of my relationships with my customers.

In particular, I want you to know that Italian Handbag Company is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. I just don’t do that sort of thing. We never have, we would never and have never sent a customers’ information anywhere!

Because I know that everyone deserves reassurance and you would like to know what my process and policy is in this area - in my Privacy Policy, I provide detailed information on when and why I collect your personal information, how Iuse it, how I would never disclose your personal details, without your express written permission.

At The Italian Handbag Company, I am committed to maintaining the trust of visitors to my web site. Here you’ll find information on how I treat data.

Visitors to our Website

When someone visits www.italianhandbagcompany.co.uk I do not use any third party service to collect internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns.

WHY I USE YOUR DATA. The main reason is that I need to process your data to perform the contract that you accept with me when you register and when you make a purchase. I also use your data for other reasons, for example, to respond to your queries.

WHAT I USE YOUR DATA FOR. I will use your data (collected online or in person), to manage your registration as a user, to manage your purchases of products or services, to respond to your queries, and, if you wish, to send you our customised communications.

If you decide to become a registered user of my website, I need to process your data to identify you as a user. You may cancel your registered user account by contacting us through Customer Service. You may also use the access or login through a social network such as Facebook, either to register as a new user or to link the login to your current account. In that case, your login credentials, as well as your email if you authorise it, will be imported from your social network account. Using this functionality may imply that you will be sharing with the social network some information on your activity. In any case, we recommend that you review the setting up of your privacy and the privacy policies of the social networks to understand how such social networks use your data.

I process your data because their processing is necessary for me to make the purchase or services contract with you. Certain processing of data related to the purchase process is activated only because you request or authorise it. I consider that we have a legitimate interest to carry out the necessary verifications to detect and prevent potential fraud when you make a purchase. I understand that the processing of these data is positive for all the participating parties when a purchase is paid and in particular for you, since this allows us to establish measures to protect you from fraud attempts by third parties.

I keep our privacy notice under regular review. This privacy notice was last updated on 23.4.20
