Privacy policy

Your privacy matters. Every Object is a small, independent studio based in the UK, and I take your personal data seriously. This policy explains how your information is collected, used, and protected when you shop with me or visit my website.

Who I Am

Every Object (previously EKOS) is run by a single designer and shop owner in the United Kingdom.

If you have any questions about how your data is used, you can contact me directly at:

📧 [email protected]

Information I Collect

When you place an order, subscribe to emails, or contact me, I may collect:

  • Your name, email address, and shipping/billing address
  • Payment details (processed securely via third-party providers like PayPal or Stripe - I never see or store your full card information)
  • Email preferences (if you sign up to my newsletter)

How Your Information Is Used

I use your information to:

  • Process and fulfil your orders
  • Communicate about your purchase or any order issues
  • Send occasional updates if you’ve subscribed to the mailing list (you can unsubscribe at any time)
  • Comply with UK tax, legal, and accounting obligations

I will never sell or share your personal data for marketing or advertising purposes.

Lawful Basis

Under the UK GDPR, the lawful bases I rely on for processing your data are:

  • Contract: when I need to process your order
  • Legal obligation: when I must retain information for tax or accounting
  • Consent: when you subscribe to my newsletter

Data Retention

I retain order information for up to 6 years for tax and legal purposes. Email addresses for newsletter subscribers are kept until you unsubscribe, at which point they’re deleted from my system.

Third-Party Services

Your information may be shared with trusted services only as needed to run the shop:

  • Big Cartel (store platform)
  • PayPal / Stripe (payment processors)
  • Royal Mail or other couriers (for delivery)
  • Mailchimp (for email updates)

Each of these services has its own GDPR-compliant privacy policy.

Your Rights

Under data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal information
  • Object to or restrict processing
  • Withdraw consent at any time (for emails/newsletters)

To exercise your rights, please contact me at [email protected].

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes in law or how the shop operates. The latest version will always be available on this website.
