This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect personal information when you visit rowanandhearth.com, place an order, contact us or otherwise use our services. Our store is hosted by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform we use to offer products and process orders.

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- Identification and contact information, including your name, email address, telephone number, billing address and delivery address.

- Technical and usage information, including IP address, browser, device, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed and interactions with our website.
- Marketing preferences and information generated through cookies and similar technologies, where permitted.
2. How we obtain information
We receive information directly from you, automatically through your use of the website, and from service providers that support payments, fraud prevention, delivery, analytics, advertising and customer service.
3. How we use personal information
We may use personal information to:

4. Legal bases
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely as appropriate on performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the business, and consent. You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
5. How we share information
We share personal information only where reasonably necessary with categories of recipients such as:

We do not sell customer lists. Certain advertising or analytics activities may be treated as “sharing” or similar regulated activity in some jurisdictions. Where applicable, you may use the privacy choices made available on our website.
6. Shopify
Shopify processes personal information to provide and improve its platform and related services. Shopify may process information in countries other than your own in accordance with its own privacy documentation and applicable safeguards.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
We use essential cookies for functions such as the basket, checkout and security. Subject to your choices and applicable law, we may also use analytics and advertising cookies. You can manage available choices through our cookie banner, privacy controls and browser settings.
8. International transfers
Some service providers may process information outside the country where you live. Where required, we rely on recognised transfer mechanisms and contractual or organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information.

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including order fulfilment, customer support, tax and accounting requirements, fraud prevention, dispute resolution and enforcement of agreements. Retention periods vary according to the type of information and legal requirements.
10. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent or information about how your data is used. You may also have the right to complain to the data-protection authority responsible for your area.
