This can include personal information (name, e-mail address, password, billing address, telephone number) and professional information (company name, VAT number). Access to your account information requires a password. You are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

DOES BOLD MONDAY SHARE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES?
We will not share your personal information with third parties for the purpose of marketing their products, but we share your personal information with companies that provide us with support services in conducting our business, operating the website. This includes Stripe, Paypal, and Mailchimp. We share your personal information only if these companies require such information to perform their functions. We do not authorize these companies to use your personal information for any other purpose.

We also share your personal information with our accountant, for VAT and TAX purposes.
DO YOU STORE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION IN A SECURE WAY?
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software. SSL is a standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client – typically a web server (website) and a browser. SSL allows sensitive information such as credit card numbers, and login credentials to be transmitted securely. This information in not accessable through the public internet. The server we use is situated in Frankfurt, Germany (EU). On this server, order information and personal information is backed up daily, weekly and monthly (so four copies in total: live and three backups) and will be kept infinitely for account, administration, VAT and TAX purposes.

We will then delete all information we hold in connection with your account which is no longer necessary to keep. Some information we have to hold for a maximum of 7 years because of VAT or TAX reasons, or to provide necessary licensing information to the respective font copyright holder.

We automatically collect certain non-personal computer or device-related information from visitors to our website, including the operating system (for example Mac OS, iOS, Windows, Android), the visitor’s IP address, and the web browser (for example Safari, Firefox, Chrome).

We don’t see or store your credit card information at any point on our server, the information is directly transmitted to Stripe. Stripe protects the confidentiality of all transaction information and every customer's details. When confirming your order, we only show the expiry date of your credit card and the last four digits of your credit card number. Of course, Stripe transmits the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
