3. How we collect personal information
We collect information:
- directly from you when you order, subscribe, create an account, contact us or submit a wholesale enquiry;
- automatically through cookies and similar technologies when you use our website; and
- from service providers involved in payments, fraud prevention, delivery and ecommerce administration.
4. How and why we use your information
| Purpose | Typical information | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| Taking payment, processing, delivering and administering orders and subscriptions | Identity, contact, order, account and payment information | Performance of our contract with you |
| Responding to enquiries, complaints, returns and customer-service requests | Identity, contact, order and communications information | Performance of a contract and our legitimate interest in supporting customers and resolving issues |
| Assessing and responding to wholesale enquiries | Identity, business contact and communications information | Taking steps at your request before entering a contract and our legitimate interest in developing our wholesale business |
| Maintaining financial, tax, product-traceability and other legally required records | Identity, contact, order, transaction and business information | Compliance with legal obligations |
| Preventing fraud, misuse and security incidents | Account, payment, technical, order and usage information | Our legitimate interest in protecting customers, our website and our business |
| Operating, troubleshooting and improving our website and services | Technical, usage and communications information | Our legitimate interests for essential operations; consent where non-essential cookies are used |
| Sending email marketing and measuring its effectiveness | Identity, contact, marketing and email-interaction information | Your consent, or the limited existing-customer exception where permitted by law |
| Establishing, exercising or defending legal claims | Information relevant to the matter | Our legitimate interest in protecting our legal rights |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether the processing is necessary and balance our interests against your rights and reasonable expectations.
5. Email marketing
We use Shopify Email to send marketing communications. We will send marketing where you have consented or where the law otherwise permits us to contact existing customers about similar products.
You can unsubscribe at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link in an email or contacting hello@harmonycoffee.co.uk. Unsubscribing from marketing will not prevent us from sending service messages about an order, subscription or enquiry.
6. Cookies and analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are necessary for functions such as the shopping basket, checkout, account access, security and remembering privacy choices. These essential technologies do not require consent.
We also use Google Analytics to understand website use and improve our services. Where consent is required, analytics cookies are not used unless you accept them through our cookie-preference tool. You can reject non-essential cookies or change your preferences through that tool. You can also restrict cookies through your browser, although this may affect website functions.
7. Who we share information with
We share personal information only where necessary with appropriate recipients, including:
- ecommerce, website-hosting and customer-account providers, including Shopify;
- payment processors and fraud-prevention providers;
- postal, courier, fulfilment and delivery providers;
- email and marketing service providers, including Shopify Email;
- analytics providers, including Google Analytics, where you have consented;
- accounting, record-management, IT and professional advisers;
- regulators, courts, law-enforcement bodies or other authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law; and
- a purchaser, investor or adviser involved in a proposed sale, reorganisation or transfer of our business, subject to appropriate confidentiality arrangements.
These organisations may act as our processors or, in some circumstances, as independent controllers responsible for their own use of your information.
We do not sell your personal information.
8. International deliveries and international data transfers
We may accept orders from customers worldwide. We will share the information needed to fulfil an international order with relevant payment, postal, courier and customs providers.
Some of our service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this constitutes a restricted transfer under UK data-protection law, we rely on a lawful transfer mechanism, such as UK adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to approved standard contractual clauses, or another legally permitted safeguard. You may contact us for more information about the safeguards relevant to your information.
9. How long we keep information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, tax, accounting, traceability, dispute and fraud-prevention requirements. Our usual approach is:
- Orders, payments, refunds and associated correspondence: generally six years after the end of the relevant accounting period or completion of the transaction, where required for tax, accounting or legal purposes.
- Customer accounts: while the account is active and afterwards for as long as associated transaction or legal records must be retained.
- Unsuccessful wholesale enquiries and general enquiries: normally up to two years after the enquiry is closed, unless a longer period is justified by an ongoing relationship, dispute or legal requirement.
- Marketing information: until you unsubscribe or we determine that the information is no longer current. We may retain a minimal suppression record so that we respect your opt-out.
- Cookie and analytics information: for the period described through our cookie-preference tool or determined by the relevant service settings, after which it is deleted or aggregated.
We may retain information for longer where reasonably necessary in connection with a complaint, legal claim, regulatory investigation or suspected fraud.
10. How we protect information
We use reasonable organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information against accidental loss and unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Access is limited to people and service providers who need the information for their work and who are subject to appropriate duties.
No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Please contact us promptly if you believe your account or information has been compromised.
11. Your data-protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
- ask for access to your personal information;
- ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- ask us to erase your information;
- ask us to restrict how we use your information;
- object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- object at any time to the use of your information for direct marketing;
- receive certain information in a portable format or ask us to transfer it to another provider; and
- withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions. To exercise a right, email hello@harmonycoffee.co.uk. We may need to ask for information to verify your identity. We will not normally charge a fee.
12. Complaints
Please contact us first if you have a concern so that we can try to resolve it.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority:
Information Commissioner's Office
Wycliffe House

United Kingdom
Website: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint
If you live outside the UK, local data-protection or consumer laws may also give you the right to contact the regulator in your country.
13. Children
Our website and services are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us.
14. Third-party websites
Our website may link to websites operated by other organisations. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and you should review their privacy information separately.
15. Changes to this policy
