3.0 Personal information that this website collects and why we collect it
How this website collects and uses personal information:
3.1 Site visitation tracking
Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to see their journey through the website. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address which could be used to personally identify you but Google do not grant us access to this. We consider Google to be a third party data processor (see below).
3.2 Placing an order
We request information from you during the ordering process. To buy from us, you must provide contact information such as your name and an invoice and delivery address. If we have trouble processing an order, we’ll use this information to contact you. Your payment is processed by our third-party payment providers (PayPal), and the information you supply to them is used to make the transaction. We never have access to your financial information (such as credit card details).
3.3 Contact forms and email links
Should you choose to contact us using the contact form on our Contact Page, or an email link, none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website or passed to / be processed by any of the third party data processors mentioned. Instead the data will be collated into an email and sent to us.
3.4 Cookies
This website uses a number of cookies, some of which are essential for the site to work and for us to provide a service to you.
This website also uses Google Analytics and details of the cookies set can found on Google’s developer guides. These are not enabled unless you accept them via the Cookie Control settings. Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website, but may mean that other areas of the website have reduced functionality. The cookies that GA sets may include _ga, _gid, _gat, __utma, __utmb, __utmc and __utmz.
Should you wish to restrict or block cookies which are set by our website you can do this through your browser settings. More information on cookies, including how to block them on a wide variety of browsers can be found at All About Cookies. Please be aware that restricting cookies may impact on the functionality of this website.
3.5 Server logs
As with most other web servers, when you access these web pages certain information may automatically be recorded. This could include your IP address, browser type, and information relating to the page you last visited. This information may be used in the event of a breach of security to aid detection.
4.0 How we store your personal information
If you place an order on this website some personal information will be stored within this website’s database to enable us to fulfil your order. You can login to your account using the My Account link to view your account information including your previous orders. Retaining this information allows you to view previous orders and more easily complete new orders. However, if you wish your data to be removed at any time (or if you would like a copy of the information we hold), please email us giving your name, address and the email you used to register.
