The data controller is SHOPCIENTY LIMITED, 7 Bell Yard, London WC2A 2JR (company no. 14960765). Contact: admin@shopcienty.com.

We collect only what we need to sell to you and answer your messages:

• Identity data: name, billing/delivery address
• Contact data: email address
• Transaction data: details of products purchased (payment is taken by our processor — we do not receive your full card number)
• Technical data: your IP address is processed by our website host and content providers as a technical necessity of delivering the page

• Fulfilling your order — lawful basis: performance of a contract
• Replying to enquiries — lawful basis: legitimate interests
• Accounting & tax records — lawful basis: legal obligation
• Marketing emails (only if you opt in) — lawful basis: consent, withdrawable at any time

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with providers needed to run the shop:

• Payment processor (Stripe) — to take payment securely
• Delivery partners (e.g. Royal Mail) — to deliver your order
• Website hosting & content delivery (GitHub Pages; Google Fonts for typography) — these receive your IP address when the page loads

We do not use cookies and we do not run analytics or advertising trackers. Your basket is stored only in your browser's local storage on your own device (strictly necessary to remember your selection) and is never sent to us until you check out. Because we set no non-essential storage, no cookie banner is required.

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these, email admin@shopcienty.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary, including to satisfy legal, accounting or reporting requirements. Order data is typically retained for 6 years in accordance with UK tax and accounting regulations.
