Born Zippy (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or make a purchase.

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and the Irish Data Protection Acts 1988–2018, Born Zippy acts as the data controller of your personal data.

Information We Collect

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical information about your device and browsing activity. This may include your IP address, browser type, time zone, device information, cookies, pages viewed, referring websites, and how you interact with the site. This information helps us operate, secure, and improve our website.

If you place an order or attempt to do so, we collect the personal details necessary to process your purchase. This typically includes your name, billing and delivery address, email address, telephone number, and payment information. Payment details are processed securely through third-party payment providers and are not stored directly by us.

In this Privacy Notice, “personal data” refers to any information that identifies or could identify you, including both technical browsing data and order-related information.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We process your personal data to fulfil our contractual obligations to you, including processing payments, arranging delivery, issuing order confirmations, and providing customer support.

We also use personal data to maintain website security, prevent fraud, comply with legal and tax obligations, and improve our services. Where you have provided consent, we may send marketing communications about our products or services. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Our legal bases for processing include performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate business interests, and consent where required.

Sharing of Personal Data

We share personal data only where necessary to operate our business. This includes service providers such as our e-commerce platform provider, payment processors, delivery companies, analytics providers, and professional advisers.

We may also disclose personal data where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

Where third parties process data on our behalf, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with GDPR requirements.

International Transfers

Some of our service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate legal safeguards are in place, such as European Commission adequacy decisions or approved contractual clauses.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Order information is generally retained for up to six years in accordance with Irish tax and accounting obligations, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Your Rights

If you are located in the European Union, you have the right to access your personal data and to request correction, deletion, or restriction of processing. You also have the right to object to certain processing activities, request data portability, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

If you believe your data protection rights have been infringed, you may lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission at www.dataprotection.ie.

Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. The most recent version will always be available on our website.
