We do not, and will not, sell any of your personal data to any third party – including your name, address, email address or credit card information. We want to earn and maintain your trust, and we believe this is absolutely essential in order do that. However, we share your data with the following categories of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our services to you, as set out in this statement:

• Companies that do things to get your purchases to you, such as our makers, payment service providers, packers, and delivery companies
• Professional service providers, such as website hosts, who help us run our business
• Credit reference agencies, law enforcement and fraud prevention agencies, so we can help tackle fraud
• We may provide third parties with aggregated but anonymised information and analytics about our customers and, before we do so, we will make sure that it does not identify you.

If you have said we can, we’ll send you marketing messages by email to keep you aware of new products, events and new makers.

You can stop receiving marketing messages from us at any time.

You can do this:

• Through your account settings
• By clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any email

Once you do this, we will update your profile to ensure that you don’t receive further marketing messages.

Seeing adverts for The New Craftsmen online

We very occasionally engage in online advertising.

Like many companies, we target banners and ads to you when you are on other websites and apps.

The banners and ads you see will be based on information we hold about you, or your previous use of The New Craftsmen (for example, your search history, and the content you read on our site) or on The New Craftsmen banners or ads you have previously clicked on.

We’ll hold on to your information for as long as you have your account, or as long as is needed to be able to provide the services to you, or (in the case of any contact you may have with our Customer Care team) for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis only.

If reasonably necessary or required to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our terms and conditions, we may also keep hold of some of your information as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the services to you.
