Privacy Policy

Great Cornish Food and Great Cornish Food Store Ltd has established this Privacy Policy to explain how it protects and manages the personal information that it collects from you (the customer) online.

Your privacy is important to us and we recognise that when you visit our site and provide us with personal information, you trust that we will act responsibly and keep your information secure and confidential.

Personal information is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person or business.

You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you are in contact with The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd.

How we use your personal information

• The personal information we collect allows us to keep you posted on The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd’s latest announcements, updates, news, events and offers. It also helps us to improve our services, content, and how we advertise our services. If you don’t want to be on our mailing list, you can opt out anytime by updating your membership details
• We also use personal information to help us develop, deliver, and improve our services, content, and general advertising.
• From time to time, we may use your personal information to send important notices about membership, access and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd, you may not opt out of receiving these communications.
• We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd’s products, services, and customer communications.

We also collect non-personal information − data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:

• We may collect information such as occupation, language, post code, area code, unique device identifier, location, and the time zone so that we can better understand customer behaviour and improve our products, services, and advertising.
• We also may collect information regarding customer activities on our website. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.

The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd website, online services, interactive applications, email messages, and advertisements may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help us better understand user behaviour, tell us which parts of our website people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd also uses cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our website, online services, and applications. Our goal in these cases is to make your experience with The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd more convenient and personal. Knowing someone using your computer or device has purchased, used or accessed a particular service helps us make our advertising and email communications more relevant to you and your business.

If you want to disable cookies you can do so by altering the settings on your web browser. Your web browser provider can advise you on how to do this. Please note that certain features of The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd website will not be available once cookies are disabled.

As is true of most websites, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information to understand and analyse trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behaviour on the site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd may use this information in our marketing and advertising.

In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Great Cornish Food Store Ltd website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.

Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.

Personal information will only be shared by The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd to provide or improve our products, services and advertising; it will not be shared with third parties for their marketing or advertising purposes.

The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd shares personal information with companies who provide services such as information and payment processing. These companies are obligated to protect your information and may be located wherever The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd operates.

It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.

We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions, protect other users, or preserve our intellect and property. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.

The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

For other personal information, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access so you can request that we correct the data if it is inaccurate or delete the data if The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd is not required to retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law.

When you use links to other websites our Privacy Policy no longer applies and you should refer to the privacy statement of the website you are currently accessing. We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of those third parties.

The Great Cornish Food Store Ltd is currently not regarded as an international service. We are of course aware that access can be gained by those outside of the UK. At this time we do not transfer any information provided by users to any other entities around the world.
