Privacy Policy
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Charming Children's Bows in London (operated by Aurelia Harrison) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website beautifulbowsw12.co.uk. We are committed to respecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Information We Collect
When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain non-personal information through standard web technologies. This includes:
- IP address and browser type
- Pages viewed and time spent on the site
- Device and operating system details
- Referral sources (e.g., search engines or other websites)
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through contact forms — and even then, no data is stored in a database.
How We Use Information
The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:
- To understand how visitors interact with our website
- To improve user experience and site performance
- To analyse traffic patterns and popular content
- To ensure the website functions correctly
We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making. No personal data is sold, rented, or shared for commercial purposes.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to enhance functionality and gather anonymous usage statistics. These include:
- Essential cookies: necessary for the site to operate
- Performance cookies: used by analytics services to count visits and traffic sources
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality, but will not prevent you from browsing our content.
Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party services to help us understand website traffic and improve our offerings:
- Google Analytics: collects anonymous usage data to provide insights into visitor behaviour. Google’s privacy practices are governed by its own Privacy Policy.
- Advertising networks: we may use ad services such as Google AdSense to display relevant content. These services may place cookies to serve ads based on your browsing activity across the web. We do not control these cookies or their use.
We do not share any personal data with third parties. All data processed by these services is aggregated and anonymised.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard measures to protect your data, including secure hosting and encrypted connections (HTTPS). However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- The right to be informed about how your data is used
- The right to access any data we hold about you
- The right to request deletion of your data (where applicable)
- The right to object to processing
- The right to withdraw consent, if given
Since we do not collect or store personal data beyond what is automatically logged, most of these rights do not apply. However, if you believe we have collected identifiable information by mistake, please contact us using the details below.
Children's Privacy
Our website is intended for general audiences, including parents and guardians of children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The latest version will always be posted on this page with the updated "Last Updated" date. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.
