Privacy Policy
When you browse our website, we collect data (including your IP address) to help us understand how folks use the website and so help us improve its design and content. We use cookies as part of this; you may block them if you wish via our cookie consent plugin (banner at the bottom of the site).
(Of course, please bear in mind that if you disable ALL cookies via your browser, like nearly every other site out there, we cannot guarantee that all aspects of our site will continue to work!)
We collect and reserve the right to use your IP address to comply with law enforcement in the event of suspicious activity originating from it (ie that which is damaging or has reasonably obvious potential to damage our web presence); otherwise as far as we are concerned it is as good as anonymous as we have no way of working out who it belongs to ourselves.
When you place an order we collect your name, address and email so we can fulfil your order. We keep this data as long as is reasonably required for administrative purposes (normally we delete completed orders one year after completion) but we do not have access to your credit card or bank information (as that is handled by either Stripe or Paypal. Please refer to Stripe/Paypal’s own privacy policies for information on what they do with this).
We may also send you information about Gritstone members’ products as we believe these are of relevant interest given your previous purchase from us. However, you may opt out of all such mailings with the unsubscribe link (this is included on every mailing). We are a mutual co-operative which means that only our members may market and sell their work through us and we do not knowingly pass on your details to any other third parties – we hate spam too!
Our Blog
Additionally you may subscribe to our “GritBlog” blog by signing up for notifications of new posts. We provide an unsubscribe option on every notification email we send. We will ony use your email address for sending new blog post notifications, and very occasionally additional news from ourselves.
Cookies
Please read our Cookie Policy – but do note this is autogenerated and we have no ability to change it even if it includes things that we do not believe we use (nor have any intention of using!).
