HOW WE COLLECT AND USE CUSTOMERS INFORMATION

The information we learn from customers helps us to constantly improve your shopping experience at closer2nature.co.uk on an ongoing basis.

We also use this information to improve our store and platform, prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our website and enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf.

 

SHARING OF INFORMATION

We do not share the information you provide us with nor divulge it to other sources. The only exceptions to this are as follows:

SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.

We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card number when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personally identifiable customer information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer.
