At 
we’re committed to respecting and safeguarding your privacy. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website.
What Data We Collect and How We Use It
We collect personal information when you place an order, register on our site, or interact with features such as comments or media uploads. This may include your name, contact details, IP address, and browser information.
We use this data to:
Process orders and handle payments
Communicate with you about your purchases
Send updates or promotional material (if you’ve opted in)
Improve your browsing and shopping experience
Detect and prevent spam or abuse
We only collect and use data where necessary to provide our services effectively and securely.
Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the data entered in the comments form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.
An anonymised string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to the website, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from these images.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device to enhance your browsing experience.
If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.
Visiting the login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies—it contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, cookies save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days; screen settings cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
Editing or publishing a post will save an additional cookie in your browser. This cookie stores the post ID and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those sites directly. These third-party sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction, especially if you are logged in to their service.
How long we retain your data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically.
For registered users, we store the personal information provided in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete this information at any time (except your username). Site administrators can also access and edit this data.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided.
You can also request that we delete your personal data, unless we are legally required to retain it for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Data Security
We take your data security seriously and use a range of measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, or disclosure.
All payments are handled securely via third-party payment gateways, and we never store your credit card details.
