Please be assured that Cain of Heswall Ltd is absolutely committed to ensuring that your privacy is secure.

As with all shopping websites, we collect personal information from you when you shop online at Cain of Heswall.co.uk

We use this information to make your shopping experience as easy and enjoyable as possible. We need it to process your order, and to inform you of any delays or problems.

YOUR DATA

The information we collect is:

Your name – so we know what to call you if and when we contact you.

Email address – so we can email your order confirmations, delivery delays, etc. You can unsubscribe at any time. Please allow 10 days for your request to be updated across all our systems. You can also subscribe to our separate Premier Mailing list, you will then receive occasional emails from us with the latest offers, sales, and new product launches (usually no more than a maximum of two emails a month). You can unsubscribe at any time, and we DO NOT give this information to third parties.

Delivery address – so we know where to send goods to you.

Telephone number – To contact you to discuss your order. We’ll only call if we have a delivery problem, or to talk to you about your order. We will not call you for any other reason other than to help you with your orders, returns, or queries.

Payment Card Details – We only ask for these when you place your order, and we don’t store any of your card details on the server. They are all processed and held securely by our payment partner, Lloyds Cardnet and PayPal. Just to confirm, we never see or store your credit card details on the website or on our servers.

Our site is secured using the latest secure server technology to ensure this information is protected to the highest standards.

We use encryption to safeguard your credit card information and only accept orders from web browsers that permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology – this means you cannot inadvertently place an order through an unsecured connection. Most common web browsers support this security.

This encryption makes it virtually impossible for unauthorised parties to read any information that you send us.

The encryption technique we use is the highest standard available for e-commerce, and our security certificate can be viewed here at any time.

DATA PROTECTION

Cain of Heswall Ltd is a registered data controller under the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). We will never pass on your details to third parties for marketing purposes unless you have explicitly agreed to it.

There are only two circumstances where we may share some of your data with others:

With agents (including credit card reference agencies, credit card clearing agencies (Lloyds Cardnet), fraud prevention and detection agencies, delivery companies and data processing analysts) that we use to process the orders you place with us, or who assist us in the service we provide to you. In these instances, we provide them with only the information they need to perform their function.

In the unlikely event that our business assets are ever sold to, or purchased by another company (our data records are part of our business).

If you have any questions about your personal data or our privacy policy, please contact us at dpo@cainofheswall.co.uk

To see all the information we have about you, and to correct any inaccuracies or for the removal, please write to:
