Our Promise:
At 4homesteads, we are committed to respecting and safeguarding any personal data you share with us. We aim to be transparent about how we collect and process your data and to ensure that we handle your information in ways you would reasonably expect.
Protecting Your Privacy:
Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. We have updated our Privacy Policy to enhance transparency and comply with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Information We Hold:
When you purchase goods from our online store, we collect your name, address, telephone number, and the details of your purchases. Importantly, we do not store financial information such as credit card or PayPal details. These details are handled directly by secure payment providers like PayPal.
If you have signed up for our site to leave comments or receive our Pet Tips newsletter, we only store your name and email address. Rest assured, we never sell or share this information with third parties outside of 4homesteads. We do not buy names or lists; all individuals on our mailing list have either purchased from us or subscribed to our newsletter.
Logs:
4homesteads logs all site visits and transactions. We collect standard information such as your browser type, IP address, ISP domain, time and date of visit, pages viewed, and the duration of your visit.
If you have subscribed to our newsletter, we only retain your email address and name, which are never shared with third parties. This data is solely used to keep you informed about new products and tips through newsletters and updates. We respect your right to electronic privacy.
Cookies:
Our website uses “cookies” to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files that websites transfer to your computer or device, making interactions with our site faster and easier by remembering your information, such as name and address.
Consent:
By using our website and providing your personal information, you consent to the privacy practices described in this policy. We may update our Privacy Policy occasionally, and changes affecting the handling of your personal information will not apply to data collected before the update.
Security:
The security of your personal information is critical to us. We encrypt personal data transmission using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. We implement commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to protect your personal information. For instance, we regularly back up data to prevent loss and aid in recovery.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
