What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. A third party spam protection service may be used to help prevent abuses of the site and also to improve the security of legitimate users.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
What we collect and store to process your orders.
We collect data from you during your transaction with us. We collect sufficient information to process your orders and deliver your products. This data is collected in a secure manner using end to end encryption.
Payment data is handled separately without us needing to have contact with it, via secure encrypted connections. This data is collected by Paypal and/or other payment processing services that we may offer from time to time. You may view the policies of Paypal at the following link. https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for 10 years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.
We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.

wfwaf-authcookie-(hash)
What it does: This cookie is used by the Wordfence firewall to perform a capability check of the current user before WordPress has been loaded.
Who gets this cookie: This is only set for users that are able to log into WordPress.
How this cookie helps: This cookie allows the Wordfence firewall to detect logged in users and allow them increased access. It also allows Wordfence to detect non-logged in users and restrict their access to secure areas. The cookie also lets the firewall know what level of access a visitor has to help the firewall make smart decisions about who to allow and who to block.
wf_loginalerted_(hash)
What it does: This cookie is used to notify the Wordfence admin when an administrator logs in from a new device or location.
Who gets this cookie: This is only set for administrators.
How this cookie helps: This cookie helps site owners know whether there has been an admin login from a new device or location.
wfCBLBypass
What it does: Wordfence offers a feature for a site visitor to bypass country blocking by accessing a hidden URL. This cookie helps track who should be allowed to bypass country blocking.
Who gets this cookie: When a hidden URL defined by the site admin is visited, this cookie is set to verify the user can access the site from a country restricted through country blocking. This will be set for anyone who knows the URL that allows bypass of standard country blocking. This cookie is not set for anyone who does not know the hidden URL to bypass country blocking.
How this cookie helps: This cookie gives site owners a way to allow certain users from blocked countries, even though their country has been blocked.

Who we share your data with
We may share anonymised data with the Google Analytics service. This data helps us to improve your experience of our service. The Google privacy policy is explained on the following link. https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB
It is also necessary to share your contact details, with our delivery service partners, for the purposes of delivering your orders. This data is shared securely and will be with a number of trusted delivery service providers. The names of the providers will alter, as we select the correct service provider, for each particular transaction. We cannot guarantee which delivery service we will choose, but only that each delivery provider will be a reputable national or international company, holding a suitable data protection policy.
As part of of our site security firewall systems, we collect and share certain data with Defiant Inc of Seattle. You may read the full transcript of the arrangements at this link https://www.wordfence.com/gdpr/dpa.pdf This processing arrangement also includes the possible transfer of all information collected by the website in case of an exploit or attack against our systems. Please note that this data transfer would normally only occur in the case of an attack or suspected attack. The reason for the data transfer occurring would be to repair our system and to secure your data. This would be considered a function of our data breach procedure and would help us to to determine any cases of data loss. As such the users should be informed in the required manner.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. We currently collect no personal data under any ‘Special Category’ designation. We don’t intend to collect this class of data at any point in the future.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your contact information
Your information is valuable and we undertake to look after it well. We don’t share users data, sell it or use it to spam you. We won’t bombard you with emails or allow other companies to do this. We may send you communications, regarding your transaction, for the purpose of completing the transaction and delivering your goods. If you have particular concerns regarding the protection of your data, please contact us in the first instance via our contact form.
We may send very infrequent emails for sales promotional and marketing purposes. This would normally be less than six times per year, however this frequency may alter. You will have every opportunity, under GDPR regulations to opt out of any email marketing.
