Order details: what you’ve bought, when, your delivery method, and any notes you add, such as delivery instructions.

Section 4: Who we share your data with
In short: Only the services we need to run the shop. We never sell your data. We share only what’s necessary, with businesses that process data for us under contract and in line with UK GDPR:
Who we share it with and why:
Delivery: we book courier deliveries through Whistl, and DHL delivers the parcels. Both receive your name, delivery address, email address and phone number so they can process the shipment, send you tracking updates and deliver your order. Local deliveries are made by our own team, and your details aren’t shared with anyone else for these.
Website and hosting: WordPress / WooCommerce, hosted by Pressable. These form the basis for our account/ordering system and website.
Payments: all payments are processed by PayPal, including card payments. If you pay by credit or debit card, your card details go directly to PayPal and are never seen or stored by us. PayPal may also run its own fraud and security checks, and handles your data in line with its own privacy policy.
Order administration: ShipTheory, Google Workspace, which we use to manage and dispatch orders and generate shipping labels.
Email marketing: Klaviyo, for dispatching marketing emails when opted in.
Analytics: Google Analytics, for tracking order origins and supplemental market research internally.
We may also share your data if the law or a court order requires it, or to protect our rights, customers or business. If Snackeroo is sold or restructured, customer data may pass to the new owner.
Transfers outside the UK: some of our providers may process data outside the UK. When they do, appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual clauses.
Section 5: How long we keep your data
In short: We keep data only as long as we need it, and we keep it secure.
How long we keep it:
Orders and financial records: normally kept for 6 years. The law requires this for tax purposes, and it also covers the period in which legal claims can be made.
Your account: kept while your account is open. If you ask us to close it, we delete your account details but keep the order records we’re legally required to hold.
Marketing preferences: kept until you unsubscribe. After that, we keep only a note that you’ve opted out, so we don’t contact you again.
How we protect it:
All data sent to and from our website is encrypted using SSL/TLS.
We never see or store your card details. All payments are handled securely by PayPal.
Only the people who need your data to run your order can access it.
We keep our website, plugins and systems up to date.
If something goes wrong If a data breach puts your rights at risk, we’ll report it to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) within 72 hours. If the risk to you is high, we’ll also tell you directly without delay.
Section 6: Your rights

Take it with you: receive your data in a common digital format, so you can pass it to another business.
