We are the "data controller" of the personal information described in this policy. That means we decide how and why your information is used.
We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), registration reference ZC068759.
If you have any questions about this policy or about how we handle your information, you can contact us at hello@themakingbox.co.uk.
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
When you sign up to our newsletter or download a free resource
When you buy something from us
When you visit our website
When you email us or contact us on social media
We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Under UK data protection law we must have a lawful basis for using your information. Ours are:
| What we do | Why | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| Send you our newsletter, free resources and information about our products | Because you asked us to | Consent |
| Send existing customers information about similar products | To tell you about things you may want | Legitimate interests (soft opt-in under PECR), with an opt-out in every email |
| Fulfil and deliver your order, and provide customer support | To do what we agreed | Performance of a contract |
| Keep records of orders, tax and consent | Because the law requires it | Legal obligation |
| Understand how our website is used and improve it | To run and improve our business | Consent for non-essential cookies |
You can withdraw your consent at any time. Every marketing email we send has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything we did lawfully before you withdrew it.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run our business, and only so far as they need it. These include:
Each of these acts as a "data processor" and is bound by contract to protect your information and use it only on our instructions.
We may also disclose information if we are legally required to, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Some of our service providers, including Kit and Webflow, are based in the United States. This means your information may be transferred outside the UK.
Where that happens, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified under it. You can ask us for more detail on the safeguards we use.
We review what we hold periodically and delete anything we no longer need.
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
To exercise any of these, email us at hello@themakingbox.co.uk. We will respond within one month.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. You can contact them at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113. We would appreciate the chance to address your concerns first.
Our website uses cookies. Some are essential for the site to work. Others help us understand how the site is used, or support marketing.
We only set non-essential cookies with your consent, which you give through the cookie banner when you first visit. You can change your choice at any time via the "cookie settings" link in the footer of every page, which reopens the banner.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including restricting access to the people who need it, using reputable service providers, and securing the accounts where your data is held.
No system is completely secure, but we take our responsibility here seriously.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "last updated" date at the top. If the changes are significant, we will let you know by email or a notice on our website.
