Privacy Policy

As a UK-based business, Piggy Pete's Deli is committed to upholding the principles of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This policy details how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

Piggy Pete's Deli (collectively “Merchant Store Name”, “we” and “us”, “data controller”) respect your privacy. We ensure that your privacy is protected when using our website or when placing online orders with us.

Cookie Policy:

This website uses cookies to monitor browsing preferences. If you do allow cookies to be used, the information we collect will not be shared with any third parties.

By continuing to use our website you are giving consent to cookies being used. If you prefer, you can reset your browser to notify you when you’ve received a Cookie or, alternatively, to refuse to accept Cookies. However, it is important to note that you may not be able to use certain features on our site if you choose not to accept Cookies. The use of Cookies is an industry standard and occurs at most major websites. If you would like to delete your cookies, please see your browser’s privacy settings.

Comments/Reviews:

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string. Our legal basis for this processing is our 'legitimate interest' in operating and securing our website, ensuring the quality of discussion, and protecting ourselves from spam and malicious content.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service Privacy Policy is available here: [https://automattic.com/privacy/] . After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media:

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Embedded content from other websites:

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with:

We do not share your data with third parties for marketing purposes. However, we use necessary third-party services like Gravatar (for profile pictures) and an automated spam detection service for comments, and data is transferred to them to operate these functions.

How long we retain your data:

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data:

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data:

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
