Belfast Print Online Ltd are committed to managing and maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors to our business. We want to ensure our customers that Belfast Print Online Ltd is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes.

This privacy policy explains how and for what purposes we use the information collected about you. We may change this information from time to time, so please check back each time you order to ensure you are kept up to date. This policy was last reviewed in March 2023.


What personal data do we collect?

Personal information is only collected if you make an order on our site for our products, when registering a new account or registering for our newsletter or opting in when on live chat. We will use the information you supply without separate consent only to complete and process your order.

When you register for the newsletter, with your consent your name and e-mail address will be used for our own advertising purposes until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, which can be done at any time.

We reserve the right to store customer print data electronically and locally for one year. After that, we will move such data from local electronic storage to cloud storage; the print data may then be stored in cloud storage for a further 5 years. The print data does not contain customer data or other personal data except for an order number, company name and project name. As it is possible to identify the customer from the order number we therefore treat the storage of such print data in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. We store this print data for HMRC record keeping purposes, in order to be able to demonstrate to the HMRC that we have correctly identified the applicable tax / VAT rate for the products we have provided to customers.
