Payment providers may collect and process information necessary to complete your transaction.
We do not use your payment information for purposes unrelated to processing your purchase and associated business or legal requirements.

Our website and online store are hosted by Shopify.
Shopify processes certain personal information when you visit or use our store so that it can provide its ecommerce services to us and to you.

Shopify may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom. Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards are used where required by applicable data protection law.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link contained within our emails.
Unsubscribing from marketing will not prevent us from sending essential communications relating to an order you have placed with us.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use our website and, where applicable, support advertising and marketing.
Where required by law, we will request your consent before using non-essential cookies.

This may include keeping certain information for longer where necessary to comply with tax, accounting, legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes or protect our legal rights.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
