Privacy

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. Any personal information that we collect from you as part of placing an order with us is used solely for the purpose of fulfilling that order. The information that you give us (your name, address, email and phone number), is stored securely and will never be sold, traded or shared with anyone else. 

As necessary to fulfill your order we use third parties (e.g. Royal Mail & Parcel Monkey) to ship your order from our workshop to your home (we would love to do this personally but it's probably not the best business decision!). As above, the only information we give to these third parties is for the sole purpose of fulfilling your order, and this information is stored securely and never passed on, sold or shared in anyway.

Our Mailing List

We use MailChimp to send out occasional newsletters. These newsletters include information on new product releases, product updates, Rural Kind news and offers. You can tick a box when placing an order to join our mailing list, or there is a sign-up box at the bottom of each page of our website.

If you join our mailing list and change your mind about receiving our newsletters, it's easy to unsubscribe. There are clear written instructions on how to do so at the bottom of each email newsletter that we send you. 

Payments & Security

We use Stripe secure payment gateway to process your payments, so we never receive or store your credit or debit card information - your details are always safe. Stripe is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1, the most stringent level of certification. This all means that your payments are super secure and that your details are super safe.

Removing Personal Information

As part of respecting your rights to privacy we are more than happy to remove any personal data that we may have collected from you as part of placing an order with us, or through joining our mailing list. If you would like to access, correct, amend or delete any personal information we have about you, or just want more information about how we use and store your data please contact Mike at hello@ruralkind.com .
