Registration and Account Details

When you create a new user account at www.southwesthampers.co.uk , we collect your name and email address. If you place an order for a product that requires payment, we collect your credit card billing address, and email address on our server, but all secure details are conducted by our payment partner, Paypal. This Information will be used to process orders and, if necessary, to contact you regarding the status of your orders.

In order to develop our business we do use some of the collected data including recipient details to profile you and your order profile. This data is used to improve our service to you and identify new customers who we should be marketing to.

We are obliged by the Distance Selling Directive, and the Data Protection legislation, and all current Trade and Legal presidents and policies to respect your wishes. You can contact us at any time to have your details removed from our marketing database.

Sharing your information with others

We will not share your information with other third party companies unless there is a legal requirement to do so. We have a firm commitment to protecting your privacy and security as our customer. We are subject to the law like everyone else and we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.

Personal messages on gift cards

When you add a personal message to an order, your message will be printed on a gift card that is part of our dispatch system. This is positioned inside the hamper so the message cannot be read during transit.
