What personal data do we collect about you? How will we use that personal data?

What we do with it

In order for you to create an account, we need your name and email address. The optional information is the phone number. This data is only used to create an account for you.

Stripe is a data controller for all of the personal data that you input when paying for an item. Stripe’s Privacy Notice can be found here: Privacy Policy (stripe.com)

We keep a copy of your data to ensure we can find your details in the case of an issue. We also share this with our customer management software and this is a legitimate interest for us. 

We will send you marketing information if you have opened an account with us or purchased a product and our legal basis for doing so is legitimate interest. 

You can also choose to receive marketing from us by signing up to receive it with your email address. 

If you unsubscribe from any emails, we will keep your email address in a suppression list for five years so that we don’t email you again by accident. This is a legitimate interest for us.

Rest assured that Macildowie and our approved processors are the only ones with access to it.
