Wye Knot is an independent gift shop in Builth Wells. The data controller for this website is Lisa Morris trading as Wye Knot.
We do not have a formal Data Protection Officer. If you have a privacy question, please contact us using the details on this page.
When you use the website, cookies and similar technologies may collect information such as your IP address, browser, device, pages visited, shopping basket activity and how you found the site.
Some cookies are needed for the shop to work. Others may help us understand site performance, marketing or how customers use the website.
We usually use your information because it is needed to process your order, reply to you, meet legal or accounting duties, protect the website, or because you have agreed to receive marketing.
This keeps the privacy notice practical: we only ask for details that help us run the shop, support customers, deliver orders, handle returns or keep the website working safely.
We use order information to process purchases, take payment, send order updates, arrange delivery or click & collect, deal with returns and keep accounting records.
WooCommerce stores order and customer details. Payment information is handled securely by payment providers such as Stripe and Klarna where selected. We do not store full card numbers on our website.
Couriers such as Royal Mail, Evri, DPD or Parcelforce may receive the details needed to deliver your order.
If you use the contact form, we use your message and any optional upload to reply and help with your enquiry. Uploaded files are sent as email attachments rather than intentionally stored as media library files.
General enquiries go to shop email addresses. Returns or damage messages may go to returns@wye-knot.co.uk. Accepted uploads include JPG, PNG, WebP and PDF files up to 6MB.
Please do not upload unnecessary sensitive information. Only send photos or files that help us answer your question, check a product, or handle a return or damage issue.
We keep contact enquiries for as long as needed to deal with the enquiry, order, return, damage report, dispute or any related legal/accounting record-keeping need.
We send transactional emails such as order confirmations, payment updates, despatch or collection updates, refunds, cancellations, account emails and customer-service replies.
We may also send WooCommerce email marketing, newsletters, promotional emails, abandoned basket emails and review requests where you have opted in, where you have bought from us and the law allows, or where you can opt out.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us. Order, payment, account and delivery emails are service messages, not marketing.
We may share personal information with service providers where needed to run the website, process orders, take payment, deliver parcels, keep records, protect the site, send emails or provide customer service.
This may include our WordPress hosting provider, WooCommerce/WordPress services, Stripe, Klarna, Royal Mail, Evri, DPD, Parcelforce, email providers, Rank Math, Google services, accounting/bookkeeping software, and security or backup plugins.
Some services we use, such as payment, analytics, advertising, email or technology providers, may process personal data outside the UK.
Where this happens, we rely on the safeguards used by those providers, such as contractual protections, approved transfer mechanisms or other measures required by data protection law.
We keep order and accounting records for up to 6 years where needed for tax, accounting, legal and customer-service reasons.
Account information is kept while the account remains open. Contact enquiries are kept for as long as needed to handle the enquiry, order, return, damage report, dispute or legal/accounting record-keeping need.
Returns or damage photos are kept only for as long as needed to deal with the issue and any related records. Marketing preferences may be kept while you are subscribed and for a reasonable period after you unsubscribe.
Depending on the situation, you may have rights to access your personal information, ask us to correct it, request deletion, restrict or object to some uses, receive a copy of certain information, or withdraw consent where consent is the basis for using it.
Some rights may be limited where we need to keep information for legal, accounting, order, dispute or security reasons.
If you are unhappy with how we handle personal information, you can contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Our website is not aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, but no website, email system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
