6. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

This includes your name, email address, shipping and billing addresses, and any other data you choose to save. You can access, edit, or delete your personal information at any time through your account page. Additionally, you may store your credit card details securely in your profile for future use. However, please note that credit card details are not stored on Decoria.ie servers but rather through trusted third-party payment processors (such as Revolut, PayPal, or Stripe) that comply with the highest levels of security standards. You can access, update, or delete these payment details at any time through your account settings.
  • Deleting Your Account: If you wish to delete your account and all the associated data (including saved addresses and credit card details), please contact us via the Contact Us form on our Contact Us page. Upon receiving your request, we will process the deletion of your account within a reasonable time, unless we are required to retain specific information for legal or operational purposes (such as transaction history for tax reporting).
  • Order Information: We retain details of your past purchases (e.g., orders, transactions) for a period of time necessary to comply with legal obligations, such as tax or regulatory requirements (usually for 7 years in the EU).
  • Data Retention Periods: We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. In general, personal data related to orders and account details will be kept for 7 years or until you delete your account.
