Privacy Notice
We at Chocolate Cooky value the privacy interests of our customers and continue to with the updated General Data Protection Regulations of May 2018. This privacy policy explains any personal data we collect and how it is used.
Information we collect
When you create a new user account at www.chocolatecooky.co.uk, we collect your name and email address. If you place an order for a product that requires payment, we collect your credit card billing address, and email address on our server, but all secure details are conducted by our payment partner. If you have chosen to send products to another person we hold their name & address. Depending on your activity with us, we may also collect your online purchase history, product and company review data.
How we use the information
We will only collect and use your personal data where we have a legal basis to do so, and the information we collect will primarily be used to process orders and if necessary, to contact you regarding the status of your orders. We will only collect personal data from you when we have your consent to do so; when we need to contact you regarding your order(s); when we have a legitimate interest to do so, that doesn’t override your right to privacy; when we have a legal obligation to do so.
Data sharing
We do not share your personal information, except as described in this privacy policy. We may share your personal information with third party providers who perform services on our behalf or to ensure our business comply with legal requirements. Examples of this would include your address & payment details being shared with the payment providers and (if you use postcode lookup for your addresses) PCA Predict for purposes of fulfilling your order.. Your order details are shared with our email provider, to allow us to send order confirmation and shipment emails.
Requesting access to your personal data
As part of the new GDPR regulations, you have a right to request access to the personal data we hold about you. If you would like to request a copy of your data, please email chocycooky@gmail.com and we will respond to your request within 30 days. We have the right to refuse or charge for requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Requesting personal data to be erased
You have a right to request your personal data to be erased where the personal data is no longer required for processing or legal requirements. We will not erase your data as we need to maintain your transactional data for our legal obligations, but we will anonymise your records overwriting your personal data. Once this has been done it will be impossible to restore a single customer from our database.
Security of your personal information
We are committed to taking appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss to personal data. Our website is secured by encryption so your data is not accessible when you are transmitting it.
