​

This is The Charli & Sam privacy policy which will tell you what personally identifiable information may be collected  and how it may be used. This statement only applies to Charli & Sam Album Designs.

 

We take your privacy seriously and we will never under any circumstances pass on any of your information to a third party unless trusted service providers needed to provide services to you from my shop, such as delivery companies.

 

Cookies: We may log information using cookies , which are small data files stored on your browser by Charli & Sam. We may use both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser and persistent cookies, which stay on your browser until deleted. This is so we can provide you with a more personalised experience from Charli & Sam.

 

This Privacy Policy describes how and when we collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from us, contact us, or otherwise use our services through this website.

 

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control.

 

To fulfil your order, you must provide us with certain information such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide us with additional personal information (for a custom order), if you contact us directly.

 

We rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

 

As needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;

When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;

If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and

as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services.

 

Information about our customers is important to our business. We share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

 

Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to our gallery, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

 

Compliance with laws. We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

 

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, we may also be required to retain this information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.

 

Your Rights:

 

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:

 

Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information below.

Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict our use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where we are required to store data for legal reasons) we will generally delete your personal information upon request.

Object. You can object to (i) our processing of some of your information based on our legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from us after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, we will delete your personal information unless we have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about our use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

 

How to Contact Me

 

For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Evelyn Woodard, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at sales@charliandsam.com

"The album was delivered and we are delighted with it. Thank you so much. It’s fabulous to see the photos together like this. We had a great time looking through them over the weekend. Gorgeous memories captured so well - thank you!"Gillian"Hi Ev, it just arrived and it's amazing! Thanks so much. Kelly"Just wanted to let you know the album arrived and it's fab! Thanks so much for everything you did. We are trilled." Carol

FAQ's - How Many Photographs Should We Choose Our albums come with a standard base of either 30 or 15 spreads. We recommend the following number of images for optimal presentation: for 30, include 60-80 photographs; for 40 pages, aim for 80-100 photographs; and for 50 pages, consider 120 photographs. This ensures a balanced and beautiful display of your cherished memories.  -We Can’t Narrow Down Our Photos Don’t worry; we understand how overwhelming this part can be. With hundreds of beautiful images to sort through, can be hard to know where to start. Luckily, 20 years of experience in both wedding photography and album design, we’re here to help you navigate this process and create a stunning album that captures your special perfectly! - How Do I send my Photos   We use a secure third party file transfer platform for all photo transfers. Once payment has been processed you’ll receive an Order Confirmation email with full instructions on how to send us your photos. It is as simple as clicking the link, then drag and drop your photos. It’s that easy! - Can I make changes to the album? We allow 10 image changes complimentary but after that there may be a charge.  - Do You Edit Our Photos? We only design your album. We will not, and cannot edit photos taken by other photographers due to copyright. This means we can only work with the photos as they are. We work off the assumption that your photographer is allowing you to print your own photographs from your disc or USB. Most photographers allow people to do this. If you are unsure you will need to check your contract with your photographer.  - Payment & Design A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking and you will receive a phone call from us within 24 hrs to discuss the process. A draft will be designed and sent to you within 7-10 days. We don’t rush this process and take great care in the layout of your wedding images. The final 50% is due after you sign off on the design and it is ready to be sent for printing. You will receive your album 5 weeks after that. Christmas cut off and delivery times will be highlighted at the time.  - Returns  As these are custom-made books, I'm afraid we do not accept returns. If a book is received damaged or has a manufacturing error, a replacement will be sent out to you.  -Shipping  We are pleased to offer global shipping to ensure that our products reach you no matter where you are. Enjoy free shipping within Ireland, mainland Europe, and the UK. For other international orders, a shipping fee of €50 will apply. you Feel free to let me know if you need any adjustments! ​
