I use the Wix.com platform to host ‘artofgarment’. Wix.com provides a platform that allows me to engage with you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.

This website is hosted by WIX.com which have their own analytics. WIX also facilitate the use of Google Analytics which I am in the right to use. Please not that all data used and stored through WIX is under my responsibility and can be deleted at any time under request. You can read how WIX is only a “processor”, and I am the “controller” here.
In a nutshell, using WIX’s words:

We do this solely on our users’ behalf, and at their direction.
Our users are solely responsible for their users-of-users information, including for its legality, security and integrity.”

​
Personal data
There are two ways I will be collecting personal data: (1) chat box, (2) quotation form.
In the chat box, I will collect your name and email. The purpose is to answer your question via email if I were to be offline.
Most of the data will be collected from the quotation form. There, there is a personal information section where I collect: name, company, phone, email, address. I need this information to communicate with you about your inquiry, to fill the invoice, and to send parcel and/or files if needed.
There is also an order-specific section, where your files and details of your inquiry will be stored. I first collect them as I need the information to fulfill the order. I will store them upon delivery in order to facilitate future orders. Your files are strictly confidential. For more details, please visit the terms page.
Change of hand
If the ownership of the site changes, which I do not foresee but in the case that life gets creative, your data will not be transferred to the new owner without your consent.
