HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We obtain information about you when you use our website and/or purchase goods via the website, phone or email.

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”.

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

- “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information”.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

We may collect and process the following data about others that you provide us with, including (but not limited to) information that you provide by filling in forms on our website. For example, if you purchase olive oil as a gift for a third party, we will collect and process data about the recipient of the gift as well as from you. You represent and warrant to us that you have obtained the express consent from the individuals whose data you provide us with.

For the avoidance on any doubt, any reference in this privacy policy to your data shall include data about other individuals that you have provided us with.

When placing an order over the phone, we will gather only the personal information that will be relevant to be able to fulfil your order. This also includes card details that are never stored and always destroyed once payment has been processed. 

We strongly recommend that you do not email an order to us containing credit card information because most emails are sent unencrypted and so is not secure. All our customer data held online is encrypted and held in a secure environment. 

We never see your credit/debit card details directly ourselves. Payments are handled by PayPal or if you choose credit/debit card, Shopify Payments. If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers. Read more about Shopify Payments security here https://www.shopify.co.uk/pci-compliant
