Privacy Policy
This policy explains what personal data we collect when you shop with Hearthfold, why we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have under UK GDPR, EU GDPR and the CCPA.
Last updated: July 11, 2026
Who is responsible
HSL BUILDING SERVICES LIMITED, trading as Hearthfold("we", "us"), is the data controller for personal data processed through hslbuiser.shop. You can reach us at 8 Lomond Crescent Bridge Of Weir, PA11 3HJ, by email at support@hslbuiser.shop or by phone at +44 7255122987.
We sell physical home soft furnishings, decor and storage sets to consumers worldwide, priced and charged in USD.
What we collect
- Order and delivery data: name, shipping and billing address, email, phone, the items you buy and order history.
- Account and membership data: login details, membership tier, subscription status and preferences.
- Payment data: the last digits and card type as returned by our payment processor. We never receive or store your full card number, CVC or expiry.
- Support and lead data: messages you send us via the contact form and the Room Finisher save-my-plan form, including any room notes.
- Room Finisher inputs: the room, vibe, drill preference and budget you select, and any room photo you optionally upload as a composition reference.
- Technical and usage data: IP address, device and browser type, and pages viewed, collected via cookies and similar technologies.
Collection sources
We collect personal data from the following sources:
- Directly from you — when you shop, create an account, subscribe to a membership, use the Room Finisher, or contact us.
- Automatically from your device — via cookies and similar technologies as you browse.
- From our processors — for example payment confirmations from Stripe and delivery status updates from our carriers and fulfilment partners.
Why we use it and our legal bases
- To fulfil your order and subscription — process payment, ship goods, manage returns (performance of a contract).
- To provide accounts, membership benefits and the Room Finisher (contract and legitimate interests).
- To respond to support requests and saved plans (legitimate interests / consent).
- To send marketing where you have opted in (consent) — you can withdraw at any time.
- To keep the site secure and prevent fraud (legitimate interests and legal obligation).
- To meet tax, accounting and consumer-law duties (legal obligation).
International transfers
Some processors are located outside the UK/EEA (for example in the United States). Where data is transferred internationally we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or an adequacy decision, so your data stays protected.
How long we keep it
Order and transaction records are kept for as long as needed to fulfil the order and to meet tax and accounting obligations (generally up to 6–7 years). Account and membership data is kept while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards. Support and lead data, including Room Finisher inputs and any uploaded room photo, is kept only as long as needed to help you, and uploaded photos are deleted once the styling plan is delivered or on request.
Your rights (UK GDPR, EU GDPR, CCPA)
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access, correct or delete your personal data;
- restrict or object to processing, and to data portability;
- withdraw consent at any time;
- opt out of marketing;
- (California) know what we collect, request deletion, and not be discriminated against for exercising your rights;
- lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office).
To exercise any right, email support@hslbuiser.shop. We respond within the timeframes required by law.
Do Not Sell or Share
We do not sell or "share" personal information as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act, and we do not process personal data for cross-context behavioural advertising. California residents can still submit a request to support@hslbuiser.shop and we will honour it.
Automated decisions and children
The Room Finisher produces informational styling suggestions only; it does not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you. Our store is not intended for children: it is not for use by anyone under 13, and shoppers aged 13–17 must have a parent or guardian's consent to place an order. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
Order fulfilment, shipping and billing data
Order fulfilment: to fulfil and deliver your order we process your name, delivery and billing address, email, phone, the items purchased and order status, and we share the delivery details with our carriers and fulfilment partners strictly to complete delivery of your physical goods.
Returns and exchanges are handled by our support team, who process the order and address details needed to arrange a collection or replacement. Billing and payment-status data is processed by Stripe during order fulfilment; we retain only the order total, currency (USD) and payment status, never full card details.
Security
We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls and reputable processors to protect your data. Payment card data is handled entirely within Stripe's PCI-DSS environment. No method of transmission is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and to notify you and the regulator where the law requires it.
