Privacy policy
Personal Info
We will need to collect your information on/via this site in a number of ways to either keep in touch, or deliver services and products to you. Of course. This makes sense. We will only do that if you volunteer that information by supplying it yourself to stay in touch, ordering products or engaging our services/training etc.
We will retain your info to stay in touch, however we are happy to erase that if you ask us.

Aggregate Traffic, Non-Personal Information Disclosure for Operations Purposes
Our shop infrastructure automatically collects some non-personally-identifying information as you browse. This includes but not limited to the device you're using, the country you're in, the referring website from which you travelled to our website (e.g. google search etc), and the type of browser you're using. Our site should (?) still work if you need to use a VPN/private browsing etc - please go ahead if you like. We collect this info anonymously - it's just data - as it does legitimately help us improve the website, how we talk about our products / improve browsing experiences for everyone and helps us screen for fraud / spam.
We may have to share your info within our infrastructure, our agents, team members & our partners, and this is always to ensure that we can bring you our products and services more easily. E.g. makes sense to let the person who is labelling the packages know what your address is. But we will not further that information beyond the operations of our company.
We may also disclose aggregate statistics about visitors to our website (customers / sales) in order to describe our services to prospective partners (advertisers, sponsors) other reputable third parties and for other lawful purposes, but these statistics will include no personally identifiable information.
In cases where we are required by law to pass on information or if we believe action is necessary for fraud, cyber crime or to protect the website, rights, personal safety of person/s, in particular the members of our team. So, outside of that we will NEVER SHARE/SELL/RENT YOUR PERSONAL INFO WITH A THIRD PARTY BEYOND THE OPERATIONS OF OUR COMPANY.
If you are concerned about your data, you have the right, subject to the payment of a small fee to request access to personal data which may hold or process about you.
Our engines
We use Shopify as our shop engine so you can read more about how Shopify uses your info here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.

It is possible to entirely opt out of Google Analytics, have a look here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Cookies
Shopify places cookies on the hard drive of your device that tracks some of your info like noticing if you revisit the site, it makes for speedier loading/or may keep visited links highlighted, remember your basket etc. It is there again, to make the browsing experience better and is pretty standard in most shopping websites. However, the website will still happily work without them, and so feel free to set your web browser to turn off/refuse cookies if you want.
European Residents
European residents have the right to access their personal information and request that it be corrected, updated, or deleted. To exercise this right, just you contact us here.
To fulfil product orders / services / contracts with you, please note that your information will be stored and transferred outside of Europe, with our partners, team and offices which are located currently in Canada, UK & Turkey.
