You cannot be identified by this information and it is presented to us through Google Analytics to help us to understand browsing habits on this site only.

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law.
Our store is hosted on Wix.com, Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Wix’s data storage and databases. They store your data on a secure server behind an Enterprise Grade firewall.
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify temporarily stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
For more insight, you may also want to read Wix’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement. You can find those here (for terms of use) and here (for privacy)
Carrie Elspeth Ltd do not store or have access to your credit card details. Our site is powered by Wix who are certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant. More information specifically pertaining to our direct payment gateway, Worldpay, can be found here.
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
