This Privacy Policy explains how Barking Stitch handles personal data when you use neighbordunemeteorwatch.beauty, make an enquiry, book a consultation, or arrange tailoring, alteration, remodelling, or upcycling services.
You may have rights to access your data, ask for correction of inaccurate information, request deletion in appropriate cases, object to certain processing, or ask for restriction of use. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it for future processing, subject to any legal or operational limits.
To make a rights request, use the contact details in this policy and describe the information or action you are seeking. We may need additional details to locate records and verify the request before responding.
Project files, correspondence, and transaction records are retained for the period needed to manage the service, resolve queries, meet accounting duties, and comply with legal obligations. When records are no longer required, they are deleted or anonymised in a reasonable and secure manner.
If we make material changes, we will update the policy on the website and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The revised version applies from the date it is posted unless a later effective date is stated.
We use personal data to respond to enquiries, assess garments and materials, prepare quotations, manage consultations, record design approvals, carry out alteration or remodelling work, arrange collection, process payments, maintain business records, operate and secure the website, and meet legal and accounting requirements.
We may share data with payment processors, website and IT support providers, communication tools, and other operational partners that help us run the business. These parties are expected to handle information securely and use it only for the services they provide to us.
Personal data may be shared with public authorities, courts, or other parties where disclosure is required by law, necessary to establish or defend legal claims, or needed to protect the rights, property, or safety of our business, customers, or others.
We may collect contact details, project information, garment photographs, measurements, fitting notes, order and payment records, communication content, and technical data such as device and usage information. Where a customer supplies garments or materials for assessment, we may also record details needed to review construction, condition, and suitability for remodelling or alteration.
We receive personal data from project enquiries, consultation calls, email messages, contact form submissions, workshop visits, fitting appointments, collection arrangements, and payment activity. We may also generate internal records from assessments, quotations, design approvals, and service progress notes.
We may use essential cookies to support site security and form operation, functional cookies to remember basic preferences, and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. Cookie categories may be session-based or persistent depending on their purpose and lifespan.
You can usually block or delete cookies through your browser controls and, where available, adjust preference settings on the site. Some cookies are needed for basic site operation, and restricting them may affect form submission, session handling, or other functions.
