Privacy Policy
About this policy
By this policy, Treasured Memories intends to inform the users visiting "www.treasuredmemories.ie" Website (hereinafter, the "Website") of the policy established with regard to Personal Data Protection, emphasising its own commitment and care concerning the protection of the privacy of visitors to the Website. You are kindly invited to read our Privacy Policy that applies both in case you access the Website and decide to merely browse through it using our services, without purchasing any product, and if you choose to make some purchases.
You are furthermore invited to read, if you have not already done so, the Conditions of Use as they also contain important indications about the security systems adopted by the Website.
Browsing through the Website is free and does not require any registration, except for some areas where the user can freely and expressly provide a series of data concerning his person to access specifically identified services (e.g., to be able to proceed with purchases, subscribe to the newsletter or request information from us, etc.).
Should the visitor, therefore, intend to provide us with his personal data to access such additional services, he will be expressly informed under Legislative Decree No. 196 of 30 June 2003 "Personal Data Protection Code" (the "Code") and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 "General Data Protection Regulation" (the "Regulation"), along with the indication (by way of illustration) of the purposes and methods of using the data by Treasured Memories, as well as the right to request at any time access to, the erasure of the data or their updating. Any reference to the Code found in the Privacy Policy and the Website, in general, must be considered valid and effective within limits and to the extent that the legal rules recalled remain in force subsequently to the Regulation's implementation date (25 May 2018).
The website is not intended for children under sixteen who are also forbidden from creating an account or otherwise providing their personal data.
Under the Code and the Regulation, Treasured Memories provides the following information.
The Data Controller and Data Processors
The personal Data Controller is Keeco Creative Limited, based on Unit E16, South City Business Park, Whitestown Way, Tallaght, Dublin 24, D24 HH48, Ireland; email hello@treasuredmemories.ie (hereinafter "Treasured Memories", the "Data Controller" or the "Company").
On exclusively organisational and functional grounds, we have appointed some service providers instrumental to the management of the Website as external processors of users' personal data for purposes strictly associated with and related to the performance of the services provided by the Website, including the sale of products such as Shopify (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy) and Customer's Canvas (https://customerscanvas.com/privacy-policy).
Types of personal data processed
Should Treasured Memories obtain personal information and data, it will inform users in advance of the purposes for which such data have been requested and how they will be used. If need be, Treasured Memories will obtain the user’s specific consent regarding the use of the data. By way of illustration, such personal data as name and surname, telephone number and e-mail address may be requested, along with other information the user accepts to provide by filling out a specific registration form (e.g., to access the customer area on the Website). Treasured Memories will use the personal data collected online solely for the purposes indicated at the time of registration.
The data pertaining to connection and browsing through the Website (such as the URI-Uniform Resource Identifier addresses of the resources requested, the time of the request, the method used in submitting the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in reply, the numerical code indicating the status of the reply given by the server (successful, error, etc.), and other parameters relating to the operating system and the user’s computer environment) are collected for the sole purpose of drawing anonymous statistical information on Website use and to check its correct operation and are erased immediately after they are processed. In addition, the data might be used to ascertain liability in the event of possible computer crimes against the Website: apart from that scenario, the data will be erased once the time necessary for the performance of the services illustrated on the Website has expired.
Voluntary nature of the provision of personal data
The provision of personal data is, generally speaking, optional. Only in certain instances, failure to provide them might entail the impossibility of accessing specific services and obtaining what might have been requested (e.g. registration - and the provision of personal details, email address, postal address, details of credit/debit card or banking coordinates and telephone number - is necessary to proceed with the purchase of online products); failure to provide such data might accordingly prevent Treasured Memories from allowing access to the Website services or reply to users' requests.
The data from time to time required are indicated in the data collection forms found on the Website – marking them, for instance, with an asterisk (*) – and the consequences of failure to provide them are set out in the specific privacy policies found on the data collection pages.
Purposes
The data are collected and processed for purposes strictly associated with the use of the Website and its services and online purchases of products. The purposes for using the data are set out in detail in the specific information notices provided by the Website in all the instances of data collection. Therefore, we ask you to read the privacy policies that, from time to time, describe the processing to be carried out by Treasured Memories (e.g., for registration with the newsletter service, to access the customer area, etc.). Your data will be processed in full compliance with the legislation on privacy.
Method and duration of data processing and scope of the disclosure
The data may be processed on electronic and paper support (e.g., to manage purchases on the Website).

Furthermore, all the information collected is transmitted through a protected connection to avoid intercepting by strangers.
