Privacy Policy
Why do you need my personal data?
If you place an order with us, we will need your name and address, along with your credit or debit card number and the billing and shipping addresses. This will allow us to fulfil your order.
We will also ask for your email address and phone number so we can send you updates about your order and contact you in the event of any queries relating to it.
How will my data be stored?
All personal data is stored securely in our system. Our website is PCI compliant which means sensitive customer information including credit card details will be securely stored at all times.
Is my data used for Direct Marketing?
We are always introducing new ranges and items and like to keep our customers up-to-date with these and promotional offers. Under data protection law, it is considered a legitimate business interest for us to use our customers’ details for direct marketing, so it is our intention to do so. However, we understand that not everybody wants to receive marketing, so if you do not wish to receive any further communication from us, please update your preferences on the website or contact us on 07502 404564 or email at pot-tastic@live.co.uk.
What if I change my mind and no longer want to receive newsletters or promotional offers?
If you change your mind at any point and no longer want to be kept up-to-date, you can alter your contact choices, by visiting the ‘My Account’ section of our website or calling us on 07502 404564.
You can also unsubscribe from our email newsletters by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing email.
Do you pass my data on to other companies or organisations?
We will only share your name and address with other selected companies for marketing purposes if you opt-in for this via the website.
You can choose to opt-out at any point by visiting the ‘my account’ page of the website or calling us on 07502 404564.
We may also share your name, address and email address with trusted third parties to help service your account, for example for delivery purposes.
We will never pass our customer email addresses on to any other company for direct marketing purposes.
How long will you keep my data for?
If you don’t visit our website, shop with us or respond to our emails for 5 years we will no longer keep your personal data and will delete it securely.

We also use your purchase information, combined with that from other customers, to help with our marketing plans and to improve our product range and promotional plans.
Who do you share my data with?

What are the legal bases you rely on for holding and processing my data?
The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:
- Consent– for example, where you have ticked a box on our website requesting to receive promotional material
- Legitimate interest– for example we may combine your order history with that from many other customers to help understand trends and improve our products or promotions
- Contractual obligations– for example to fulfil an order you’ve placed with us using your address details
What are my rights?
You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you and the right to change the consent you’ve given for us to contact you at any time. You can do both these things via the ‘my account’ section of our website, or by contacting us, see below.
You have the right to be informed about how your personal information is being used and the right to access the personal information we hold about you. If you would like to access this data, please contact us, see below.
You have the right to request that we delete your data, this is the ‘right to be forgotten’. If you would like to access this right, please contact us, see below.
You also have the right to complain to your data protection regulator – and in the UK, that’s the Information Commissioner’s Office which can be contacted via https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/email/
