LinusJoe's Privacy Policy

This store is owned and managed by LinusJoe.

Personal information is personally identifiable information about you such as your name, address, email address, phone number and so on, that is not normally publicly available.

This policy does not apply to companies that LinusJoe does not control, or to any third parties that LinusJoe does not employ or manage.

Information Collection and Use

At no time does LinusJoe have access to your credit card details.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

LinusJoe does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or companies except to provide products or services you’ve requested from our website, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:

We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of LinusJoe terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.

If LinusJoe is acquired by or merged with another company, LinusJoe will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Below is a full list of how, and why, we may share data in order to deliver our services.

Shopify: Shopify are a cloud based eCommerce platform who operate our online store. They are fully safeguarded and have a number of data protection tools in place. Shopify will not share or pass on data. 

If you place an order with LinusJoe, our Shopify account will store invoice details (full name, billing address, shipping address, telephone number - if provided - and email address). These form part of our financial records.

We also store the IP address from which the order was placed, for fraud protection purposes.

Shopify trigger and send all emails related to the processing of an order or return, by placing an order with us you agree to receive these specific emails.

Shopify has servers located in the US and the EU. 

Shopify Payments: Shopify is our payment processor. By shopping with LinusJoe you agree to allow us to pass on your card details (via the web shop) to Shopify. LinusJoe does not view or store these card details, they are held and processed at all times by Worldpay. 

Paypal: If you choose to pay via PayPal on our website, we will store the email address and reference code for that PayPal transaction. Our PayPal account will also store your delivery address and pass it back to your Shopify account.

It is our internal policy not to hold any data locally, except to process it at which point we will revert to storing this information within our cloud-based drive as soon as we have finished processing it.

Your Ability to Edit and Delete Your Account Information and Preferences

You can edit your LinusJoe account information, including your address and contact details, at any time. You cannot directly change the name, address, contact details and other details of existing orders, but you may be able to change your order details by contacting info@bylinusjoe.co.uk.

We reserve the right to send you certain communications that we consider to be part of your LinusJoe account without allowing you to opt-out of receiving them. These will be relevant service announcements and administrative messages. You can remove your LinusJoe account to stop receiving these messages. Please note that if you place an order with the site, LinusJoe will keep a permanent record of your details as entered at the time of the order.

For other account information, or for those with an account who have not placed an order, please contact info@bylinusjoe.co.uk for full disclosure on the data we hold on you, and to request it's removal.
