Last Updated: 9th September 2026

1. Who We Are

6040.studio is operated by Adam Dorman ("we", "us", or "our"), based in Port Talbot, South Wales, UK. For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, Adam Dorman is the Data Controller responsible for your personal data.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

When you visit 6040.studio or make a purchase, we collect necessary personal information, including:

  • Order & Identity Data: Full name, billing address, delivery address, email address, and phone number.

  • Payment Data: Payment information (such as credit card details) is entered directly into our secure checkout platform. We do not store or have access to full credit card details.

  • Technical & Usage Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and site browsing patterns collected automatically via cookies and site analytics.

3. How We Use Your Data & Our Legal Basis

We process your personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Contractual Necessity: To fulfill orders, arrange delivery, process payments, and provide customer support.

  • Legitimate Interests: To improve site functionality, prevent fraud, analyze sales performance, and maintain business records.

  • Consent: To send direct marketing communications (if you explicitly opt in to our newsletter). You can withdraw consent at any time.

4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Processors

We do not sell or rent your personal information. To operate our website and fulfill your orders, we share limited data with trusted third-party service providers:

  • Squarespace: Hosts our website, operates our shopping cart, and securely processes transaction metadata.

  • Prodigi Group: Our primary print and fulfillment partner. We share order data (recipient name, shipping address, ordered items, and email/phone for tracking updates) with Prodigi so they can print and dispatch your items.

  • Payment Processors: Payment transactions are handled directly by Squarespace’s integrated processors (such as Stripe, PayPal, or Apple Pay).

  • Delivery Carriers: Shipping details are shared with postal services and courier networks (e.g., Royal Mail, DHL, FedEx) to deliver your packages.

5. International Data Transfers

As we use global service providers (including Squarespace servers in the United States and Prodigi’s international printing network), your personal data may be transferred, stored, or processed outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA). All transfers are made using legally approved safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or adequacy decisions.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal order data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including complying with legal, tax, and legal accounting obligations (typically six years for UK business records).

7. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you.

  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • Request erasure of your personal data ("the right to be forgotten"), subject to legal exceptions.
