Privacy policy

What is GDPR? – The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a new, European-wide law that replaces the Data Protection Act 1998 in the UK. It comes into force on 25th May 2018 and is designed to give people increased protection and control over their data, and place greater obligations on how all organisations, large and small, handle personal data.

I, Emma Kate Farley, am the data-controller of your personal information as it relates to my jewellery business and wildlife work at Little Silver Hedgehog.

What data do I collect, and how is it provided? – When you place an order with me via Etsy or direct via Paypal, I receive your name, delivery address and email address via Etsy, Paypal or direct from you. I do not receive your personal payment details from Etsy or Paypal.

Why do I collect this data? – I use these details to process and deliver your order, deal with any queries you have related to that order, and to contact you about your order.

Do I share this data? – I will never use or pass on your information to third parties for marketing purposes or any other purpose. I will not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent. You can unsubscribe from any mailing list I run at any time via the unsubscribe link.

How long do I keep your data? – will only retain your details for as long as necessary in order to process the jewellery order. I retain personal data related to orders or customer queries for six years, as required by law for tax purposes.

How do I store the data? – Any printed payment records that are required by HMRC are kept in a private home and are not accessible to anyone apart from myself. All digital records are stored on password protected devices.

You have the right to know what personal data I hold about you, and to ask for that data to be changed or deleted.  If you need to contact me, my email is emmakatefarley@hotmail.com or you can use my Contact Form.
