  • your name;

  • your email address;

  • your telephone number, if you provide it;

  • the contents of your message or enquiry; and

If we provide you with an online invoice or payment facility, we may also collect information necessary to issue and administer the invoice and record the resulting transaction, as described in Section 6.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by Squarespace, our website hosting provider. This may include information about your browser, device and network, your IP address, the pages you visit, the page you visited before arriving at our website, and information about how you interact with the website. Squarespace uses this information to provide, maintain, secure and improve its services and to enable our website to function. For more information see: https://www.squarespace.com/privacy

  • to protect the security of our website and prevent misuse;

  • to maintain appropriate business and accounting records; and

  • to comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

We will not collect personal information that we do not reasonably need for these purposes.

4. Legal basis for processing

Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data only where there is a lawful basis for doing so. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • Consent — where you have given us permission to use your information for a particular purpose;

  • Contract or steps taken at your request — where processing is necessary to respond to a request, issue an invoice or provide goods or services;

  • Legal obligation — where processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal requirement, including accounting and tax requirements; or

  • Legitimate interests — where processing is necessary for the proper operation, security and improvement of our business and website, provided that these interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

5. Website hosting and Squarespace

This website is hosted by Squarespace. When you visit the website, Squarespace may collect technical and browsing information, including information about your browser, network and device, your IP address and the pages you visit. This information is used by Squarespace to operate and secure the website and its services. Squarespace may also process personal information on our behalf as our website service provider. Squarespace has its own Privacy Policy explaining how it processes personal information: https://www.squarespace.com/privacy

6. Online invoices and payments

From time to time, we may provide customers with an invoice, payment request or payment link through the website or through a third-party invoicing or payment service.

Where you choose to make a payment using such a service, the payment may be processed directly by the relevant payment or invoicing provider. We may receive information necessary to identify and record the transaction, such as your name, contact details, invoice details, amount paid, date of payment and payment status.

Payment card details and other sensitive payment information are normally entered directly with the relevant payment provider and are not held by Kelly's Tweeds and Knitwear unless this is specifically stated at the time of payment. The processing of payment information may also be subject to the privacy policy and terms of the relevant payment or invoicing provider. You should review those policies when using the relevant service.

We use information relating to invoices and payments to:

  • issue and administer invoices;

  • receive and record payments;

  • provide goods or services requested by you;

  • maintain our accounting and business records;

  • deal with queries concerning payments or invoices; and

  • comply with our legal and tax obligations.

7. Contact forms

If you submit information through a contact form on this website, we collect the information requested in that form so that we can receive, manage and respond to your enquiry. Depending on the way the form is configured, the information may be stored by Squarespace and/or delivered to us by email. We do not use information submitted through a contact form for unrelated purposes.

8. Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate correctly. Other cookies, including analytics or performance cookies, may be used to help us understand website traffic and how visitors use the website.

Our website uses a cookie-consent banner to provide information about cookies and, where applicable, allow you to manage your preferences regarding non-essential cookies. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect how the website functions. Squarespace provides information about the cookies used by its platform and how cookies are managed through its services: https://www.squarespace.com/privacy

9. Website analytics

If analytics are enabled on this website, Squarespace may collect information about website visits and activity, including information about your browser, network and device, IP address, pages visited, clicks, scrolling, searches and timestamps. This information helps us understand visitor traffic and improve the website. If we add a separate third-party analytics service in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy as appropriate.

10. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share personal information where necessary with:

  • Squarespace, as our website hosting and website-services provider;

  • invoicing, payment and financial-service providers where necessary to issue invoices, process payments or maintain transaction records;

  • service providers who process information on our behalf and who are necessary for operating our website or responding to enquiries;

  • professional advisers where reasonably necessary; and

  • public authorities or other parties where we are legally required to do so.

We only share information where there is a legitimate reason and, where applicable, a lawful basis under data-protection law.

11. International transfers

Some service providers used in operating this website may process personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable data-protection law. Squarespace and any payment or invoicing providers we use may provide information about their own international data transfers in their respective privacy documentation.

12. How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required by law. For example, correspondence relating to an enquiry may be retained for a reasonable period after the enquiry has been dealt with. Information relating to invoices and transactions may need to be retained for longer periods in order to meet accounting, tax and other legal requirements. Where information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or otherwise dispose of it securely.

13. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. However, no transmission of information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

14. Your data-protection rights

Under the GDPR, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

  • Right of access — to request a copy of personal information we hold about you;

  • Right to rectification — to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;

  • Right to erasure — in certain circumstances, to ask us to delete your personal information;

  • Right to restriction — in certain circumstances, to ask us to restrict how we process your information;

  • Right to withdraw consent — where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

These rights are subject to certain conditions and exceptions under applicable law. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 1.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (DPC), the Irish supervisory authority for data-protection matters. Information about making a complaint is available from the Data Protection Commission.

16. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, the services we use or applicable legal requirements. The latest version will always be published on this page, with the date of the most recent update shown at the beginning of the policy.

Returns and refunds

We do our very best to ensure that the goods we sell are of the highest quality, that our descriptions of them on this website are accurate and that when we send them to you, they leave us in perfect condition. Nevertheless, we understand that once in a while people will wish to make returns, for one reason or another. If you are not fully satisfied with something you have purchased from us, the first step is to drop us a line at info@kellysknitwear.com, and we can discuss options.

If you wish to exchange an item - if you would prefer a different size, colour or style/range - you will need to contact us as a first step. In some cases, particularly with locally-made, handknitted garments, there might not be alternative sizes/colours/styles available. Relevant caveats of this sort are clearly stated in the product descriptions here on Kellysknitwear.com.

If we can provide the alternative item you would like, you will need to return the original item (see below for our returns policy) and make a new purchase of the replacement item. We will discuss the process with you by email. 

Returns

We have a 28-day return policy, which means that the item you wish to return must be received by us within 28 days of the date of purchase.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. Returns will not be accepted if there is evidence that the item has been worn or used to any extent beyond being fitted ('tried on') for inspection purposes.

To initiate a return, please contact us at info@kellysknitwear.com. If your return is accepted, we will reply with instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

All costs associated with packaging and sending returns are to be borne by the customer; Kellysknitwear.com accepts no liability for any such costs.  

Damages and issues

Please inspect your order upon receipt and contact us immediately if the item is defective or damaged, or if you received the wrong item, so that we can evaluate and rectify the issue.

Non-returnable items

Certain types of items cannot be returned:

  • Bespoke garments (items made to a customer's specifications and at the customer's behest)

  • Headwear - hats, caps, headbands (for reasons of hygiene)

  • Babies' booties (for reasons of hygiene)

  • Items altered in any way by the customer

  • Gift cards

Refunds
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the return was approved or not. If approved, you will be refunded via your original payment method.
