Security
Modern information and communication technologies play a fundamental role in our organisation, but in order to prevent unauthorised access to your data we hold it in secure storage that is isolated from Internet connectivity.
We are committed to ensuring your information is secure and, to order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. All our employees and data processors, who have access to, and are associated with the processing of personal data, are obliged to respect the confidentiality of our visitors' personal data.
We do not collect sensitive information such as credit card numbers. Payments are handled in a secure way by PayPal using their own high levels of website security: they collect payments from customers (without our involvement in the transaction) and subsequently transfer funds from their bank account to ours.
Cookies
Heartsown also collects some non-personalised information from cookies that allow us to monitor general site statistics such as which website pages receive most visits, how visitors arrive, and what computer operating systems are most often used. These cookies are temporary 'session' cookies that cease at the end of your visit. The data recorded by these cookies are not sufficient to identify any unique individual, but enable us to build up an overview of use of the website, helping us provide a site tailored to the needs of all our visitors.
You may use your browser settings to disallow or disable all cookies from this site, and although most of the website will function normally, some aspects such as the shopping cart operated by PayPal may not.
Links
Our website offers links to various other websites over which we have no control and, although we believe we have selected them prudently, for which we can accept no responsibility. Such third party web service providers may collect personal data about their visitors, and anyone visiting them is advised to consider the privacy policies in operation on those sites.
PayPal
In order for customers to purchase items and services from us we use third-party secure shopping facilities operated by PayPal, one of the Internet's largest and most trusted e-commerce institutions. When making a purchase, customers effectively leave our website and enter pages supplied by PayPal - please note that these are operated under PayPal's privacy policy and terms and conditions of use, which are independent of Heartsown. Any questions concerning their practices should be addressed to them in the first instance.
