We may also collect basic technical information automatically when you visit our website, such as your IP address and browser type, through cookies and analytics tools.

How we use your information

We use your information to process and fulfil your orders, send order confirmations and updates, respond to your enquiries, and send you marketing emails if you have opted in to receive them.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We keep your order information for up to 7 years for legal and financial record-keeping purposes. If you unsubscribe from our mailing list, we will remove you promptly.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate data, ask us to delete your data, withdraw your consent to marketing at any time, and make a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [your email address].

Third party services

We use third party services to help run our business, including GoDaddy (website hosting), and payment processing providers. These services have their own privacy policies and handle your data securely.

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top.

A couple of things to do before you paste it in 👇

• Drop your email address in the two places marked [your email address]
• If you use a specific email marketing tool like Mailchimp, it's worth naming it in the third party services section
• If you're registered with the ICO as a data controller (worth checking as you collect customer data — it's usually around £40/year for small businesses), you can add your registration number too
