Vicky Barclay T/A Silver Snail Jewellery

12 Chapel Gate Lane, Nottingham, NG16 4HN, UK

Our website address is: https://silversnailjewellery.co.uk and our contact email is thesilversnailuk@gmail.com

We are the data controller for the purposes of this policy.

What Data We Collect

We may collect and process the following personal information:

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Legal Bases for Processing

We rely on one or more of the following:

• Your consent
• A contract with you (e.g. when you place an order)
• Legal obligations
• Legitimate interests (such as improving our service)

Data Sharing and Transfers

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with service providers like delivery companies or payment processors, strictly for the purposes related to your order or enquiry. If data is transferred outside the UK, we’ll ensure adequate safeguards are in place. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Data Retention

We keep your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected, including for legal or accounting obligations. If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your data
• Correct inaccuracies
• Request deletion
• Object to or restrict processing
• Move your data to another provider

You can exercise your rights by contacting us at thesilversnailuk@gmail.com

This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
