What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Account Registration & Orders

When you create an account or place an order on our site, we collect your name, email address, shipping address, and order details. This data is necessary to process your order, provide customer support, and manage your account. We process this data under the lawful basis of contract (for purchases) and legitimate interest (for user accounts and order history).

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.

An anonymised string (hash) of your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. See Gravatar’s privacy policy for more details.

Media

If you upload images to the site, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can extract that data.

Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Remember your login and display preferences
• Track products you view and store cart contents (even if you don’t complete checkout)
• Enable basic analytics to improve site performance

Some cookies are essential for the website to function (e.g., to process orders or remember your cart). Others may be used for analytics or tracking abandoned carts, which we rely on under legitimate interest. Where required, you will be asked for consent via a cookie banner.

Embedded Content from Other Sites

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos or Instagram posts) that behave as if you visited those platforms directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with the content.

Analytics

We may use tools like Google Analytics or Meta Pixel to collect anonymised usage data (e.g., page views, time on site). Your IP address is anonymised where possible. We do not use analytics for individual profiling or advertising without your consent.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or rent your data. We may securely share your data with:

• Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal)
• Email platforms (e.g., for order confirmations or support)
• Our website host and backup systems
• Fulfilment and delivery services, only to process and ship your orders

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are stored indefinitely to recognise future comments.

For registered users, your account data and order history are retained as long as your account remains active. You may delete your account at any time by contacting us.

Your Rights Under GDPR

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you

Where Your Data Is Sent

Comments may be checked through automated spam detection. Payment and order details may be processed by secure third-party platforms solely to complete your purchase.

How We Protect Your Data

We use SSL encryption, secure payment gateways, and access controls to keep your data safe. We only work with third parties who meet GDPR compliance standards.
