Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DD Month YYYY]

This privacy policy explains how [Your Company Name] ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit tropicz.co.uk (the "Site"). We are the data controller for the personal data described below.

What this Site is

tropicz.co.uk is a marketing website for Tropicz Rum Punch. It does not process payments or collect payment or shipping information directly. When you choose to buy, you're taken to our online store, which runs on Shopify's platform. That store has its own privacy policy covering the information collected during checkout (name, address, payment details, order history) — please review it before purchasing.

Information we collect on this Site

• Email address, if you sign up to our newsletter ("Join the Crew"). We only use this to send you marketing updates about Tropicz Rum Punch, and only with your consent.
• Age confirmation. When you enter the Site, we ask you to confirm you're 18 or over. This is stored in your browser's local storage, not on our servers, purely so we don't have to ask again on your next visit.
• Standard technical data collected automatically by our hosting provider (e.g. IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and performance. We don't currently use analytics or advertising cookies on this Site.

How we use your data

• To send marketing emails, where you've given consent — you can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email, or by contacting us.
• To keep the Site secure and functioning correctly.

Legal basis for processing

• Newsletter emails: your consent.
• Site security and technical logs: our legitimate interest in keeping the Site running securely.

Who we share data with

• Our email marketing provider, if you sign up to the newsletter ([Your email service provider]).
• Our website hosting provider (Vercel) and domain/DNS providers, who process technical data as part of delivering the Site to you.

We do not sell your personal data.

How long we keep your data

We keep your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter, or until you ask us to delete it.

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

• Ask what data we hold about you and get a copy of it
• Ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Ask us to delete your data
• Withdraw consent to marketing at any time
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you think we've mishandled your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [privacy@tropicz.co.uk].
