All partners are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations consistent with UK GDPR.

5. International Data Transfers

Some vendors or service providers may be located outside the UK. Where we transfer data internationally, we ensure compliance with UK GDPR safeguards, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum (IDTA) or standard contractual clauses (SCCs).

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations. Typically, customer and vendor account data is kept while the account is active, transaction data up to 7 years, and marketing data until consent is withdrawn.

7. Your Rights Under UK GDPR
  • Right of access – request a copy of your personal data;
  • Right to rectification – correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • Right to erasure – delete your data when legally possible;
  • Right to restrict processing – limit how we process your information;
  • Right to data portability – request transfer of your data to another provider;
  • Right to object – stop certain processing activities, such as direct marketing.

Contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@yourdomain.com to exercise these rights or lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

8. Data Security

We implement SSL encryption, access controls, audits, and secure third‑party gateways to protect your data. While we take every precaution, no system is entirely secure; users are encouraged to protect their credentials and report suspicious activity.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your experience and analyse traffic. You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings, but some site features may not function properly without them.

10. Marketing Communications

With your consent, we may send marketing communications about products, offers, or cultural food stories. You can opt out anytime via unsubscribe links or by contacting us directly.

11. Children’s Privacy

Our Platform is not directed toward children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
