Who we are
This is the website of The Barry Island Coffee Company. Our website address is: https://dev.thebarryislandcoffeecompany.com. If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your personal data, contact us at info@thebarryislandcoffeecompany.com.
What personal data we collect and why
Orders
When you place an order through our shop, we collect information such as your name, billing and delivery address, email address, phone number, and details of the products you purchase. We use this to fulfil your order, process payment, and communicate with you about it (for example, order confirmations and delivery updates). This data is retained for as long as necessary for accounting and legal purposes.
Payment
We use Stripe to process payments on our website. Your payment card details are entered directly into Stripe’s secure systems and are never stored on our servers. Stripe processes this information as an independent data controller — see Stripe’s privacy policy for details.
Wholesale / contact enquiries
If you use the enquiry form on our Contact page, we collect the information you provide (name, company, email, phone number, and message) in order to respond to your enquiry. We do not use this information for any other purpose.
Accounts
If you create an account on our website, we store the personal information you provide in your profile (such as name and address) to make future purchases quicker. You can view, edit, or request deletion of this information at any time by contacting us or through your account page.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies required for core shop functionality — for example, to keep track of what’s in your cart as you browse, and to keep you logged in if you have an account. These cookies do not track you across other websites. If you log in, we also set a small number of standard WordPress cookies to manage your session.
How long we retain your data
Order information is retained for as long as needed for accounting, tax, and legal purposes. If you have an account, we retain your profile information until you ask us to delete it. Contact form enquiries are kept only as long as needed to handle your request.
Who we share your data with
We share order and payment information with Stripe, our payment processor, in order to process transactions. We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account or have placed an order with us, you can request an export of the personal data we hold about you, or ask us to correct or erase it, by contacting info@thebarryislandcoffeecompany.com. This does not include data we are legally required to keep for accounting or tax purposes.
Where your data is sent
Payment data is sent to Stripe for processing, which may involve transferring data outside the UK/EEA under Stripe’s own data protection safeguards. We do not transfer your data anywhere else.
This policy is a working draft covering the site’s actual technical setup (WooCommerce + Stripe) and should be reviewed against your specific legal/regulatory obligations before the site goes live.
