Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Dandiecrafts handles personal data for readers in the United Kingdom, the EU, the EEA, and other English-speaking markets.
Controller and contact
Dandiecrafts is the controller for this website. Contact contact@dandiecrafts.co.uk for privacy questions, access requests, correction requests, or deletion requests.
Information we collect
We may collect technical information such as IP address, device data, browser type, pages viewed, referring URLs, approximate location, and cookie identifiers. If you email us, we collect the name, email address, message content, and any article or merchant details you provide.
How we use information
We use information to operate the website, respond to messages, prevent abuse, understand readership, improve articles, measure affiliate link performance, and keep records needed for legal or security purposes.
Lawful bases
For UK GDPR and EU GDPR purposes, we rely on legitimate interests for site security, analytics, editorial improvement, and affiliate measurement; consent where required for non-essential cookies; contract or pre-contract steps when responding to direct requests; and legal obligation where records must be retained.
Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies
The site may use cookies or similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, understand which pages are read, and help affiliate partners attribute referrals. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some site features may work less smoothly.
Affiliate tracking
Some outbound links go to merchants, affiliate networks, or partner platforms. These third parties may use cookies, click IDs, referral URLs, or similar identifiers to record that Dandiecrafts referred a visit or sale.
Third-party websites
When you click to a merchant or partner website, that third party controls its own privacy practices, prices, stock, terms, and checkout process. Review the merchant privacy policy before submitting personal information.
Sharing and selling
We do not sell personal information from this website. We may share limited data with hosting providers, analytics providers, security tools, email providers, affiliate networks, professional advisers, or authorities where necessary.
International transfers
Some service providers or affiliate partners may process data outside the UK, EU, or EEA. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent transfer protections.
Retention
We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond and maintain reasonable records. Analytics and security logs are retained according to provider settings and operational needs, then deleted or aggregated.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to processing, withdraw consent, or request portability of your personal data. You can contact us using the email above.
Complaints
If you are in the UK, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. If you are in the EU or EEA, you may contact your local data protection authority.
Children and security
Dandiecrafts is not directed at children. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect site data, but no internet service can be guaranteed completely secure.
Updates
We may update this policy when site tools, affiliate partners, or legal requirements change. The latest version is published on this page.
