Privacy Policy

At Alison Fern Jewellery we take your privacy seriously.

This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices and policy regarding the collection and use of information (including personally identifiable information) made available to us through contact with alisonfernjewellery.com

YOUR PERSONAL DATA
The processing of information (your “personal data”), such as the name, e-mail address, postal address and/or credit card information relating to an identified or identifiable person (“data subject”) shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

Alison Fern Jewellery complies with its obligations under the GDPR by keeping personal data up to date; by storing and destroying it securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.

Alison Fern Jewellery collects the details provided by you when you join the Alison Fern Jewellery Mailing list.

We may occasionally collect additional personally identifiable information through your participation in any promotions and competitions offered by us.

PURPOSES FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION
We use the personal information we collect to enable us to:

Promote and provide our Services
To maintain our own accounts and records
Verify your identity and the information you provide

We may also use your personal data to communicate with you in the event of a change in our business practices, or our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.

Plus we may also use your personal data to send you information, special offers and promotions.

Whenever you use a website or other internet service, a series of general data and information gets created and logged automatically. The same is true when you use the Alison Fern Jewellery Site. This general data and information are stored in the server log files.

any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems

When collecting this general data and information, the Alison Fern Jewellery Site does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Alison Fern Jewellery analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of the Alison Fern Jewellery site, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process.

We will never sell or rent your personal information to a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body (“third party”).
