This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.thepaintedleaf.co.uk (hereafter referred to as the “Site”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of Third Parties that I do not own or control.

Information Collected 

When you visit the Site, 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 are automatically collected. Additionally, information about the individual web pages or products that you view on the Site, websites or search terms that referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site are also collected. 

When you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, information including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers and methods of payment), email address, and phone number will be collected. Hereafter, this information is referred to as “Order Information”. 

I need your Order Information to fulfil any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, Order Information may be used to: 

  • Communicate with you about your order; 

  • Screen orders for potential risk or fraud; and 

  • When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to my products.

Any Personal Information collected will only be shared for the following reasons:

You can adjust the settings on your computer to decline any cookies if you wish. This can easily be done by activating the reject cookies setting on your computer. However, please be aware that this action may limit the full functionality of my Site. 

Data Retention

When you place an order through the Site, I will maintain your Order Information for my records unless and until you ask me to delete this information. I may also be required to hold this information to comply with legal obligations.
