Who we share it with

We share only what is needed, with: Shopify, who host this store; our payment providers; our fulfilment and delivery partners; our email and analytics providers; and our accountant. We do not sell your personal information.

Some of these providers are outside the UK and the European Economic Area. Where that is the case, transfers are covered by approved safeguards such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or the UK equivalent.

Order and invoice records are kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires, currently 7 years. Marketing contacts are kept until you unsubscribe. Support messages are kept for up to 3 years.
