Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies between you, the User of this Website and Crystals by Enchantment, the owner and provider of this Website. Crystals by Enchantment takes the privacy of your information very seriously. This privacy policy applies to our use of any and all Data collected by us or provided by you in relation to your use of the Website. Please read this privacy policy carefully.

Please note that as of the 25th May 2018 our database prior to this will have been deleted completely unless you agreed to go on the new one.

Confidentiality

Please see below my Privacy Policy for full details but in ‘short' it is:

As you may have heard we now have to comply with the GDPR, and the Privacy policy now on this website is as far as humanly possible what I have to tell you.

Our computers use some of the best security options available.

The website is hosted by DotGO.uk so you need to read their privacy policy as well if you feel the need. I have been with them since 2006 and have never had any form of breach of security involving my clients or customers.

Anyone who has dealt with me over the last two plus decades knows (probably to my detriment) I only send out emails once in a blue moon.

Cookies (computer ones) are beyond me - I do have the occasional Chocolate digestives on my workshops - to my detriment I don't do re-marketing - might in the future but it will appear in the PP somewhere once I have figured out what it is and what to do with it. If it takes too much time then it won't happen.

The only personal information on our computer / website I have/ had / or will have is your name, address, telephone number and email address which has always been in the past given to me freely.  You have probably got more on your mobiles about family and friends than I have about clients. I can also more or less guarantee that Tescos (other supermarkets are available) definitely have more info on your loyalty card than I ever will.

If you have purchased goods or services in the past or are about to then of course I have a record of what you have had, but any financial information is done through my financial service providers PayPal. I have absolutely no idea what your credit/debit card information is and would not have any interest in knowing or storing it - cannot remember mine half of the time so seriously don't want yours.

I at present use The Royal Mail for deliveries so I have to tell them your name and address and your email address(for delivery notification) or you won't get your order.

The only third party buttons on my website is probably to DotGo or social media ones.  If I am doing an event somewhere then I will put their website address but not a hyperlink.  If you go off to someone else's website then I have to tell you to read their PP and I have no control over their content.

I will never divulge your information to third parties unless I am compelled to by law. If you want to read the full legal jargon then read on:
