WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE COLLECT IT.

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.travellingbasket.co.uk (the “Site”).

We respect your privacy and promise to use any information we hold about you in a safe and responsible way. By shopping with us, you are agreeing to our Privacy Policy, in particular, our use of your information, as outlined below.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

  • “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
  • “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including card details), email address, and phone number.  We refer to this information as “Order Information”.
