Privacy & Cookies


PRIVACY
Beaufort Ink is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. It is impossible to function as a retailer without collecting certain information, if only to fulfil orders, and this policy sets out what data we collect and how we use it, which we do in accordance with the EU General Data Processing Regulations (GDPR) and the UK Privacy & Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR)

We reserve the right to alter or amend our privacy policy from time to time by updating this page, which was published on 6th May 2018 and last updated on 2nd August 2019.

What personal data do we collect?
Depending on the level of contact you have had with us and your interaction with our website, we may collect personal identifiers including your name, address, business name, email address, phone number and IP address.

Why?
We use personal identifiers for the purposes of fulfilling orders and recording order history, for upholding warranties and providing customer support, for replying to enquires and fulfilling requests for information, and for direct marketing purposes such as occasional newsletters regarding our products, services and special offers, from which you can unsubscribe at any time. The above forms the basis in law by which we hold personal data, which we have a legal obligation to store for a minimum of 7 years. Beyond the requirements necessary for online ordering and order fulfillment, your data is not shared with any other parties.

What other information do we collect?
In addition we may collect your browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths.

Why?
This additional information is used anonymously to monitor and analyse the performance, relevance and effectiveness of our website and marketing strategies, and in pursuit of our legitimate interests in seeking to develop and grow our business, which together form the basis in law by which we collect and hold it.

What about payment details?
We do not store any payment processing details. All online transactions are processed securely through one of our two merchant services providers, SagePay and PayPal, according to your choice. Your credit card or debit card details and any necessary personal data are transmitted to them using SSL encryption software when your order is placed and we are informed only that payment has been made, not of your card details.

All telephone and mail orders are processed by us using the credit card or debit card details you provide at the time. Those details are not stored and once they have been used for the purpose of processing your order they are destroyed.

Our e-commerce and merchant services procedures are fully certified PCI compliant.

Protecting your data
Rest assured that the data we hold is kept securely, that physical and encrypted electronic means are in place to protect it, and that beyond what is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual obligations to you as a customer, your personal data is not shared with third parties unless required to do so by law.

Melody Berry
Beaufort Ink set themselves a high standard for product and service, then they hold themselves to that standard. I’ve always had great service and also very helpful telephone support when I had no idea what I was really needing. There's really is no reason for me to consider buying from anyone else.

High praise for Beaufort Ink for brilliant customer service and a lovely nib - I really should put them on speed dial. I'm fussy with nibs and they've come to the rescue again. They always take time to give brilliant advice and they're just a really nice guys.

Noah Joubert
Great service and delivery - I am very happy with the new nib I bought. I called them as I was uncertain about which would be the right one, but I got through to the owner who was very helpful and swiftly solved my query.

Perhaps the classiest pen kits in the business and a great source for kitless building as well.

Nick Buckley
Without remembering who specifically took care of my order, I just have to say how pleased I am and simply blown away by the quality of service. I ordered a hand-full of products and must have mistakenly selected one incompatible item. My package arrived with a handwritten note and the piece that I'd meant to purchase. Thank you, I'm truly appreciative.

My order arrived over a week ago with extra pen refills, thank you.
In the main, people are quick to complain even when a minor issue such as mine is out of anybody’s control, so they should be as quick to say thank you.

I have known for a while that the quality of your products is head and shoulders above the competition's, and have now found out first hand that your customer service is of the same premium quality.
A very big thank you and well done to all at Beaufort Ink.
