This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from http://www.lowtidecoffeco.uk (the “Site”).

2 - PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit our 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 our Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products you view, what websites or search terms referred you to our Site, and information about how you interact with it. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”.

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

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

“Log files” - track actions occurring on our 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” - electronic files used to record information about how you browse our Site.

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical or performance cookies or targeting cookies.

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through our 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.”

If you have chosen to create an account as part of our purchase process and have selected a password which enables you to access certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

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

​

3 - HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We use the Order Information we collect generally to fulfil any orders placed through our Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations).

We use the Device Information we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimise our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with our Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

​

4 - CONSENT
When you provide us with Personal Information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to us collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

If we ask for your Personal Information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

This includes staff engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.

Payment

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Wix 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.
