PRIVACY & COOKIE POLICY

What is Personal Information?

Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or about an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

Sensitive information, a sub-set of personal information, is information or an opinion about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, political association membership, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, professional or trade association membership, trade union membership, sexual orientation or practices or criminal record, and includes health information and genetic information.

This Privacy Policy details how we manage personal information about you, how we ensure that the information is kept secure and how you can obtain access to that information.

What Personal Information Do We Collect From You And How?

Grace & Fire collects personal information in several ways when you place an order or register for a service offered by Grace & Fire.  By registering, you are consenting to the collection of your personal information. If an order is placed with us, we collect your  personal information including your name, email address, phone numbers,  addresses and  shipping details. Additionally, we may also obtain information as a result of authentication or identity checks. These details allow us to process your order and to let you know the status of your order.

If you elect to pay online using your credit card, your credit card details are not stored by us.  They are encrypted and passed directly to the bank through our security provider.  Any other information you provide at the checkout, such as comments or survey responses is stored by us and is used to better plan future items to add and developments for the website.  Saved card details will never be shared with third parties and will only be used to process your order, using our payment partner’s systems.

General site traffic data is collected for the purpose of site maintenance and improvement and provides information about which and how often certain pages are viewed. This helps us to understand what sorts of products our customers are interested in and alerts us to any areas of the site that may be difficult to navigate.  The data we collect may include your IP address, your approximate geographic location, and data sent to us by your web browser, such as your operating system, browser type and version, computer type, MAC address and screen resolution and further set out under Cookies.

Generally, we do not collect sensitive information. However, we may collect sensitive information from you or about you where there is a legal requirement to do so, or where we are otherwise permitted by law.  In all other situations, we will specifically seek your consent.

If we do not collect, hold, use or disclose your personal information, or if you do not provide your consent, then you may not be able to place an order or register for a service offered by us.

Your personal information is held and stored on paper, by electronic means or both.  We have physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in place for personal information and will take reasonable  steps to:
