Data We Collect

We may collect identification and contact details, project information, garment and material details, fitting preferences, booking information, payment-related records, and communications sent to us. Where a customer supplies garments or materials for assessment, we may also record condition notes, measurements, and project specifications needed to assess feasibility and complete the work.

The data collected depends on the service enquiry, booking, or workshop visit.

How We Collect Data

We receive data when you submit an enquiry, book a consultation, visit the workshop, approve a concept, or communicate with us by phone, email, or the contact form. We also generate internal records from assessments, quotations, fitting reviews, collection handovers, and payment processing.
