When visiting us in store we may ask you if you would like to be added to our mailing list. You would be invited to write your email address only (we do not ask for your name or telephone number) into our customer request book, which is kept in a locked cupboard outside of store opening times and in a drawer at the counter during opening hours. Your email address would then be added to our email list which is currently held by the 3rd party service MailChimp. Your email address would be used periodically by The Store, using the MailChimp service, to let you know about events and promotions run by The Store. We DO NOT share your email address with any other 3rd parties.
You can unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time by clicking the Unsubscribe button at the foot of every email that we send. You can also unsubscribe by contacting us on info@thestoresaxmundham.co.uk. Please note when contacting us, it may take a few days for our systems to be updated and you may receive messages whilst your request is being processed.
When visiting us in store you may ask us to contact you with information about items of stock that are due for delivery – special orders. We will ask you to provide us with your name (first name only, if you prefer not to give your surname) and a telephone number so that we can contact you to talk to you about the item you have enquired about. Your name and telephone number will be written in our customer request book, which is kept in a locked cupboard outside of store opening times and in a drawer at the counter during opening hours.
If you return an item to us for a refund if it is faulty, or for a credit note, we will ask you to provide us with your name and address in our Refund book or our Credit Note book. These books are kept in a locked cupboard outside of store opening times and in a drawer at the counter during opening hours.
When visiting us in store and making a purchase, we do not ask you for any personal information in order to process the transaction. When paying by credit card all transactions are processed securely by our 3rd party card services provider. All credit card data provided to us, the merchant, is handled securely. We are PCI compliant.
If you contact us by telephone to request that an item be mailed out to you, then we will complete the credit card transaction with you whilst we are on the telephone – we do not make a written record of your credit card details. Your address details will be retained until we have received confirmation that your purchase has been successfully delivered to you, after which time your name and address details will be destroyed.
If you return an item to us for a refund if it is faulty, or for a credit note, we will ask you to provide us with your name and address in our Refund book or our Credit Note book so that we have an audit trail confirming the movement of stock and monies in and out of the business. These books are kept in a locked cupboard outside of store opening times and in a drawer at the counter during opening hours.
