How we collect it
The Sheffield Leather Company collects personal information directly from you when you submit it via this website or to a The Sheffield Leather Company email or by telephone.
We may also collect personal information from publicly available sources, third parties such as our business partners, or social media platforms such as Google, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
We may also use cookies to identify and personalise the browsing experience for repeat visitors to this website. You can continue to use this website by rejecting cookies, but your ability to use some features will be limited.
How we use your information
We may use your personal information for the purposes for which it was initially collected or purposes reasonably related to the initial purpose. This includes:
- Providing you with our goods and services (including warranty services, repairs and refunds);
- Respond to questions or product requests;
- Keep a record of our dealings with each other; and

How we store your information
The Sheffield Leather Company takes reasonable steps to ensure that your information is protected from misuse and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. All our employees are required to sign confidentiality agreements. Data is stored on systems that are regularly upgraded. However, as no system is 100% secure or error free, we cannot guarantee that your information is totally protected. If you enter personal information on our website, you should take reasonable steps to safeguard any passwords or other details associated with your use of the website.
We will take reasonable steps to destroy personal information which is no longer required by us.
Disclosing that information
We never sell or disclose your personal information to other organisations except as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your personal information to organisations which assist The Sheffield Leather Company in providing our products or services, such as financial services providers (banks, Paypal etc) to complete your purchase (for e.g. to our payment processor to facilitate payments for our products that you buy from us with your credit card), mailing systems and courier companies and our professional advisers (accountants, lawyers and auditors).
We may also disclose your personal information to our website host or third party service providers (for example Amazon, Google, Instagram and Shopify) in certain limited circumstances, for e.g. when our website experiences a technical problem or to ensure that it operates in an effective and secure manner.
We may also release your personal information when required (including, without limitation responding to a subpoena) to do so by a court or government agency or when we consider that a company or individual may be engaged in fraudulent or dangerous activity.
