We are committed to safeguarding and preserving the privacy of your (“Purchaser”, “you”, “Consumer”) personal data.

We process your data in accordance with relevant data protection and privacy laws because processing is necessary to fulfil our contract with you, because there is a legal obligation upon us or because it is in our legitimate interests.

  1. What we use your data for
  1. Fulfilling orders

We collect your personal data to fulfil the orders you make with us for products and services. This includes providing our services to you and to handle any comments, compliments or complaints you choose to make.

  1. Marketing

We send you details of products we think will be of interest to you and we do this by post, by email, by SMS and by other means. We will also process your personal data, including by profiling the data you give us and data we obtain from other sources, as part of our marketing processes to try and make product suggestions and provide special offers that we hope will excite and delight you.

When we collect your email address or mobile telephone number in the course of a sale or negotiations with you for a sale, we may use it to send you special offers and information related to our own similar products. If you do not wish us to use your email or mobile phone number for this purpose please email info@crafter.world with the words ‘Opt-out’ in the subject line and your name, postcode, email address and mobile number in the body of the email.
