PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: September 2026. How we protect your data without unnecessary surveillance.
01. Philosophy: Minimal Data Footprint
UNAPPROVED PRESS limits collection to what is needed to operate the store, fulfil orders, support customers, and improve the shopping experience. Analytics and advertising technologies are disabled where consent is required until you choose to enable them. We do not sell personal data to data brokers.
02. Information We Collect
When you browse or place an order through UNAPPROVED PRESS, we collect:
- Customer Details: Name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and contact telephone number.
- Order Information: Statement selections, sizes, quantities, and transaction timestamps.
- Technical Identifiers: IP address, device type, browser user-agent, and local currency preference (GBP vs USD).
Payment Credentials: Your card numbers, expiry dates, and CVVs are handled directly by PCI-DSS Level 1 certified processors (Shopify Payments, Stripe, Apple Pay). We never see or store full card details on our local servers.
03. How Your Information Is Used
Your personal data is utilized strictly for:
- Routing on-demand print specifications to our local manufacturing facilities in London and the US.
- Generating dispatch labels with Royal Mail, USPS, and DHL.
- Communicating tracking updates, order receipts, and customer service resolution.
- Preventing fraudulent card transactions.
- Measuring storefront performance and marketing effectiveness where you have consented.
04. Cookies & Local Storage (“No Cookies Wasted”)
We use functional cookies and browser local storage strictly to ensure our storefront operates seamlessly:
- Cart Persistence: Retaining items in your bag as you navigate across looks.
- Currency Selection: Remembering your chosen regional currency (£ GBP vs $ USD).
- Security Sessions: Protecting checkout integrity.
- Consented Analytics: Google Analytics 4 and PostHog help us understand aggregate shopping journeys, product engagement, errors, and site performance.
- Consented Marketing: Klaviyo connects subscriber activity with relevant lifecycle email, while advertising attribution technologies help measure campaigns and optimise advertising.
You can accept, reject, or change analytics and marketing choices independently on the Cookie Policy page. Session recordings mask form inputs, and payment entry remains on Shopify’s hosted checkout.
05. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on your jurisdiction (including the UK, European Union, and California), you possess the right to:
- Request a copy of all personal data held about you.
- Request correction or complete erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”) of your personal data.
- Object to or restrict the processing of your data.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@unapprovedpress.com. Requests are verified and fulfilled within 30 days without charge.
