How We Use Your Personal Information
We only use your personal information where we have a lawful reason to do so.

We use your information where necessary to enter into or perform our contract with you. This includes:
-
Processing and fulfilling your order.
-
Processing payments where applicable.
-
Arranging delivery.
-
Providing order and delivery updates.
-
Managing returns and refunds.
-
Managing your customer account.

Providing customer support relating to your order or account.

Our lawful basis for this processing is generally performance of a contract or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements
We may process and retain personal information where necessary to comply with our legal obligations, including applicable tax, accounting, consumer protection and other legal requirements.
Our lawful basis for this processing is compliance with a legal obligation.
Security and Fraud Prevention
We may use personal information to protect Happy Sport, our customers and our Services, including detecting, investigating and preventing fraud, misuse, security incidents and other potentially unlawful activity.
Where applicable, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating and protecting our business and providing customers with a safe and secure shopping experience.
Customer Service and Improving Happy Sport
We may use information to respond to enquiries, resolve problems, understand how customers use our Services and improve our website, products and customer experience.
Where this processing is not necessary to perform our contract with you, we may rely on our legitimate interests in operating, developing and improving Happy Sport and providing effective customer service.
When relying on legitimate interests, we consider those interests against your rights and interests under data protection law.
Marketing
Where permitted by law, we may use your information to send you marketing about Happy Sport products, promotions and offers.
Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on your consent or another lawful basis permitted under applicable data protection and electronic marketing laws.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in the email.
Opting out of marketing does not prevent us from sending you non-marketing communications relating to your orders, returns, account or other transactions.
Marketplace Orders
Happy Sport may sell products through third-party marketplaces in addition to our own website.
When you purchase Happy Sport products through a marketplace, that marketplace may provide us with personal information necessary to process and fulfil your order, arrange delivery, handle returns or refunds, provide customer service and meet our legal obligations.
Orders received through marketplaces may be imported into and managed through our Shopify store. As a result, personal information associated with your marketplace order may also be processed through Shopify and its authorised service providers.
The marketplace through which you placed your order may separately collect and process your personal information for its own purposes. That processing is governed by the marketplace's own privacy policy and terms.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the store, remember your preferences, understand how customers use our website, improve our Services and, where applicable, support advertising and marketing.
Where consent is required by law for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we will request that consent through the choices provided on our website.
You can manage available cookie choices through the cookie or privacy controls provided on our website.

Relationship With Shopify
Our online store is powered by Shopify.
Shopify processes certain personal information on our behalf in order to provide the ecommerce platform and related services that power our store.
When Shopify processes customer personal information on our behalf, Shopify acts as a data processor and has its own responsibilities under applicable data protection law.
Shopify may also process certain personal information for its own purposes in connection with particular Shopify services and features. Where Shopify determines the purposes and means of that processing, Shopify is responsible for that processing in accordance with applicable data protection law and its own privacy policies.
Information you provide directly through our store, as well as certain information received from marketplace orders, may therefore be transmitted to and processed by Shopify and its authorised service providers.
For more information about how Shopify processes personal information, please refer to Shopify's Privacy Policy.
International Transfers
Some of our service providers, including Shopify and its service providers, may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by applicable UK data protection law.
These safeguards may include UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual safeguards for international transfers.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
The period for which information is retained depends on factors including:
-
How long your customer account remains active.
-
How long the information is required to fulfil orders and provide customer service.
-
Legal, tax and accounting requirements.
-
Fraud prevention and security requirements.
-
The need to resolve disputes or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
When personal information is no longer required, we will delete or anonymise it where appropriate, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Please keep your account credentials secure and do not share your login details with other people.
