Privacy policy

Yes. I would replace the existing policy rather than just tidy it. The current version is based on an older Shopify privacy template, has grammatical issues, outdated links/terminology, and is too vague in places for a UK-facing ecommerce business.

Below is a cleaner version written for Tranquil Panda, using info@tranquilpanda.com consistently. Because this is a legal/privacy document, you should ensure the final version accurately reflects the apps, analytics, advertising tools and fulfilment providers you actually use.

We may use technologies including cookies, pixels, tags and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our Site and to support functionality, analytics and advertising.

We may use your personal information to:

  • process and fulfil your orders;

We only process personal information where we have an appropriate lawful basis to do so, which may include performing a contract with you, complying with a legal obligation, pursuing our legitimate interests or obtaining your consent.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies to operate effectively, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the Site and, where permitted, support personalised advertising.

Some cookies are necessary for the Site to function. Other cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies, may require your consent depending on applicable law.

You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie controls available on our Site and through your browser settings.

Disabling certain cookies may affect some features or functionality of the Site.

5. How We Share Personal Information

We may share personal information with trusted third parties where necessary to operate our business and provide our services.

These may include:

  • Shopify, which provides our ecommerce platform;
  • payment processors;
  • delivery and logistics providers;
  • fulfilment partners;
  • customer-service providers;
  • analytics providers;
  • advertising and marketing platforms;
  • IT, hosting and security providers; and
  • professional advisers or authorities where required by law.

We only share information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

We may also disclose information where required to comply with applicable law, regulation, court order or other lawful request, or where necessary to protect our rights, customers or others.

You can read more about Shopify's handling of personal information through its privacy information.

6. Advertising and Marketing

Where permitted by law, we may use information about your interaction with our Site to understand the effectiveness of our advertising and to show you more relevant marketing.

This may involve advertising platforms such as Meta or Google where those services are used by Tranquil Panda.

Where consent is required for advertising cookies or similar technologies, we will seek that consent.

You can manage your preferences through our cookie controls and the privacy or advertising settings provided by the relevant platforms.

You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.

7. International Transfers

Some of the service providers we use may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that it receives an appropriate level of protection in accordance with applicable data-protection law.

This may include relying on recognised adequacy arrangements or appropriate contractual safeguards.

8. How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including fulfilling orders, providing customer service and meeting our legal, accounting and regulatory obligations.

Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

When information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise or otherwise securely dispose of it where appropriate.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
