This Privacy Policy and Cookie Statement describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or decide to make purchase or loan when viewing dabhandpuzzles.uk (the “Site”), which is operated by Dab Hand Puzzles & Pastimes. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected.
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”. We may collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable them, visit the All About Cookies website.
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
When you contact us to make an enquiry, make a purchase or request a loan we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, delivery address, phone number, and payment information where appropriate. We currently do not take payment through our website. Payment arrangements are made directly. (All credit card information is encrypted as we only take these payments by a card reader device with a payment link to your mobile.) We refer to this information as “Order Information”. When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfil any orders (including processing your payment information where necessary, arranging for delivery, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or updates relating to our products or services.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud, and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our promotions).
