This Privacy Policy explains how BHF Graphics (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores and shares personal data when you visit our website, request a quote, place an order, upload artwork, or contact us in relation to our online printing services. We are committed to handling personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and other applicable privacy laws.

1. Personal Data We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect: contact details such as your name, billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone number, account details such as login credentials and order history, order information such as product specifications, quantities, delivery preferences and transaction details, artwork and print files that you upload or send to us, communications you send to us by email, web form or phone, and technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed and cookie data collected through our website.

2. How We Use Your Personal Data

We use personal data to provide our services, including processing and fulfilling orders, verifying artwork specifications, arranging payment, producing printed goods, delivering orders, responding to enquiries, and providing customer support. We also use personal data to maintain accounts, keep records, prevent fraud, protect our business and website, analyse website performance, improve our services, comply with legal obligations, and where permitted, send service updates or marketing communications.

3. Lawful Bases For Processing

We process personal data on one or more of the following lawful bases: performance of a contract when we need your information to process orders, take payment and arrange delivery, legal obligation where we must retain records or respond to lawful requests, legitimate interests where it is necessary to manage our business, prevent misuse, recover debts, improve our services and keep our systems secure, and consent where required, for example in relation to certain cookies or direct marketing messages. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

4. Artwork and Print Files

When you upload artwork, designs, mailing data or other print-ready files, those materials may contain personal data. We use such files only as necessary to provide quoting, pre-press checks, proofing, printing, finishing and delivery services, and to respond to any queries about your order. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to provide any personal data contained in the files you submit and that your content complies with applicable law. Please do not include unnecessary sensitive personal data in artwork or order notes unless strictly required for the service.

5. Sharing Your Personal Data

We may share personal data with trusted third parties who support our business operations, such as payment processors, delivery and courier companies, website hosting providers, IT support providers, print production partners, cloud storage providers, and professional advisers. We may also disclose personal data where required by law, regulation, court order, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. We do not, under any circumstances, sell your personal data to anyone.

6. Payments

Payments made through our website are processed by third-party payment providers. We receive only the information needed to confirm payment, manage orders, issue refunds where appropriate, and keep accounting records. We do not store full payment card details on our own systems unless expressly stated and lawfully required.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, remember preferences, keep your basket active, understand how visitors use the site, and improve performance. Some cookies are essential for the website to function, while others such as analytics or marketing cookies are optional and will be used only where required by law and where you have given consent. You can manage cookie preferences through our website settings and your browser controls.

8. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to fulfil orders, manage repeat business, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and meet legal, tax and accounting obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and the purpose of processing. Artwork files and order records may be retained for a limited period to support reorders, quality checks and customer service unless a longer period is required by law or justified by our legitimate interests.

9. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction. These measures may include access controls, secure systems, staff training, supplier due diligence, and secure disposal practices. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Data Transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy regulations or approved contractual protections, where required by law. You can contact us for further information about any such safeguards that may apply.

11. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate data, request erasure, object to or restrict certain processing, request transfer of certain data, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise your rights, please contact us using the details below. We may ask for information to verify your identity before responding.

12. Complaints

If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, please contact us first so that we can try to resolve the issue. You also have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection matters.

13. Children’s Data

Our website and services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children unless this is clearly provided to us by a customer in connection with a lawful printing order and they are authorised to provide it.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
