Legal Bases for Processing
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may process your information because:
- It is necessary to perform a contract with you, such as processing and delivering your order
- We have a legal obligation to process or retain certain information
- We have a legitimate interest in operating, protecting and improving HYL, provided those interests do not override your rights
- You have provided your consent, where consent is required
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
Shopify
Our online store is powered by Shopify.
Shopify processes certain personal information to provide its ecommerce platform, payment, security and other services to HYL and its customers.
Information submitted through our store may therefore be processed by Shopify and its service providers.
For more information about how Shopify handles personal information, please refer to Shopify's Consumer Privacy Policy.
Service Providers
We may share personal information with trusted third parties where necessary to operate HYL.
These may include:
- Shopify
- Payment processors
- Print and fulfilment providers
- Delivery and courier companies
- Customer review platforms
- Email and marketing providers
- Analytics providers
- Website and technology providers
- Professional advisers where required
For example, information such as your name, delivery address and order details may need to be provided to our fulfilment and delivery partners so that your order can be produced and delivered.
These providers should only receive information reasonably necessary to perform their respective services.
Reviews
We may use a third-party review service to collect and display customer reviews.
If you submit a review, information you choose to provide — such as your review, rating, name and any photographs or videos you voluntarily upload — may be processed by our review provider and displayed on our website in accordance with the relevant settings and terms.
Do not include sensitive personal information in a public review.
Cookies & Analytics
HYL and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, remember preferences, understand how visitors use our store, improve performance and, where applicable, support advertising and marketing.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function, while others may require your consent.
Where required by law, you will be given the opportunity to manage your cookie preferences.
Marketing
Where permitted, we may use your contact information to send you information about HYL products, new releases, restocks, offers and other updates.
Where consent is required, we will only send these communications after you have provided that consent.
You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.
Unsubscribing from marketing will not prevent us from sending essential communications relating to an order or your account.
How We Share Personal Information
We may share personal information where reasonably necessary:
- With Shopify and other providers that operate our online store
- With fulfilment providers to produce and fulfil orders
- With delivery companies to deliver orders
- With payment providers to process transactions
- With service providers supporting reviews, analytics, marketing, customer service and website functionality
- Where you specifically ask or consent to us sharing information

- Where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights
- In connection with a sale, restructuring or transfer of all or part of the business
We do not sell your personal information in the ordinary meaning of selling customer information for money.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including fulfilling orders, providing customer support, maintaining appropriate business and financial records, resolving disputes and complying with legal obligations.
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be used where required under applicable UK data protection law.
These may include adequacy regulations or approved contractual safeguards for international data transfers.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You should avoid sending sensitive or confidential information through unsecured communication channels.

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights including the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
- Request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances
- Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
- Object to certain processing
- Request portability of certain information
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exceptions.

Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services.
HYL is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites that we do not operate. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before providing them with personal information.
