Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Broadside ("we", "us") is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who we are

We are Broadside, an independent type foundry registered in England & Wales, based in Clerkenwell, London EC1. You can reach us at info@broadwides.com.

2. What we collect

  • Your name and email address at checkout
  • Order details and payment confirmation (no full card numbers are stored by us)
  • IP address and browser type (for fraud prevention and analytics)

As we sell digital font files only, we do not collect physical addresses.

3. How we use your data

  • To process your purchase and deliver your download links
  • To send order confirmations and licence documents
  • To respond to support requests and licence enquiries
  • To comply with HMRC tax and record-keeping requirements

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. Payment processing

Payments are processed securely through Stripe. We never see or store your full card details. Stripe's privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy.

5. Data sharing

We share data only with Stripe (payments), our hosting provider, and our email delivery service for order confirmations and download links. None of these parties are permitted to use your data for their own marketing.

6. Retention

We retain order records for at least 6 years to comply with HMRC requirements. Contact-form enquiries are deleted after 12 months.

7. Your rights under UK GDPR

  • Access the personal information we hold about you (Article 15)
  • Request correction of inaccurate information (Article 16)
  • Request erasure, subject to legal retention requirements (Article 17)
  • Object to or restrict processing (Articles 18 and 21)
  • Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk)

The ICO can be contacted by phone on 0303 123 1113 or via the ICO website.

8. Cookies

This site uses essential, session-level cookies only. No tracking or advertising cookies.

9. International transfers

Some of our service providers (such as Stripe) may store data outside the UK. Where this is the case, we rely on the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards under UK GDPR.

10. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be available here with a revised date.
