1. Information We Collect
When you shop with us or browse our site we may collect: your name, email address, billing and delivery address, telephone number, payment information (processed securely by our payment providers — we never store full card details), order history, and technical data such as IP address, browser type and browsing behaviour collected via cookies.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data to process and deliver orders, manage returns and refunds, provide customer support, send service communications about your order, personalise your shopping experience, and — only with your consent — send marketing emails which you can unsubscribe from at any time via the link in every email.
3. Legal Bases
We process your data on the bases of contract performance (fulfilling your order), legitimate interests (improving our store and preventing fraud), legal obligation (tax and accounting records) and consent (marketing).
4. Sharing Your Information
We share data only with trusted service providers who help us run the store: payment processors, delivery carriers, our e-commerce platform (Shopify), email service providers and analytics tools. All are contractually required to protect your data. We never sell your personal information.
5. International Transfers
Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, transfers are protected by adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.
6. Data Retention
We keep order data for 6 years to meet tax and legal obligations. Marketing data is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any right, email hello@bellamonza.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
