This information may include your full name, email address, shipping and billing addresses, telephone number, payment details, and any other data you choose to share with us.

In addition, we automatically collect certain information when you browse our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits. This data helps us understand how our site is used and enables us to improve your overall experience.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect serves a variety of purposes, including:

We only process your personal information when we have a legitimate legal basis to do so, such as fulfilling a contract with you, obtaining your consent, or pursuing our legitimate business interests.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. However, we may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, processing payments, delivering orders, and managing our communications. These third parties are contractually obligated to handle your information with the same level of care and confidentiality that we uphold, and they are not permitted to use your data for any purpose other than the services they provide to us.

In certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your personal information to comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms of service, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Escalade Silks, our customers, or others.

Data Security

We take the protection of your personal information seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard it against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website uses Secure Socket Layer encryption technology to protect sensitive information transmitted during checkout. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including the satisfaction of legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When your data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymise it in accordance with our retention policies.
