Leeds Fireworks – Privacy Policy
How we collect, protect, and use your personal data when ordering fireworks or browsing leedsfireworks.com.
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Leeds Fireworks (“we”, “us”, “our”) processes personal information when you browse, create an order, or otherwise interact with our website at leedsfireworks.com.
By using the site you consent to the practices described here. If you disagree with any part, please discontinue use.
2. How We Collect Data
We obtain data in three primary ways:
- Directly Provided: Information you enter at checkout or via contact forms.
- Automatically Logged: Technical/session data (e.g. pseudonymous security/event logs) to protect the platform.
- Third Parties: Payment processors and essential service vendors who send us limited order confirmation details.
3. Data We Collect
Contact & Order Details: Name, email, phone (if provided), postcode, billing/collection reference, ordered products.
Usage & Security Data: Anti‑bot signals, approximate region (derived from IP for fraud checks), session identifiers, error traces (non‑content).
Payment Meta: Confirmation tokens or status flags (we do not store full card details).
4. How We Use Data
- Process and fulfil orders (age‑restricted goods compliance).
- Provide confirmations, updates, and essential service emails.
- Improve site stability, performance, and security.
- Detect, investigate, and mitigate fraud or abuse.
- Comply with UK legal and regulatory obligations.
5. Storage & Sharing
Retention: Personal order data retained up to 12 months unless you create and keep an active customer account; security logs may persist slightly longer for legitimate risk mitigation.
Security: Encrypted transit (HTTPS) and principle of least privilege internally.
Sharing: We do not sell or rent data. Limited sharing only with necessary processors (e.g. payment, IT infrastructure) under contractual safeguards.
6. Cookies
We use essential cookies to maintain sessions and basic analytics (aggregate). A “remember me” cookie (optional) stores a pseudonymous token to streamline future visits. We avoid marketing/third‑party tracking cookies except minimal social share script assets.
