Privacy Policy

This website (“website”) is operated by Alexandra Hunt Trading Ltd. Throughout the website, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Alexandra Hunt Trading Ltd, company number 09596399. We are registered in England and Wales at Prama House, 267 Banbury Road, Oxford OX2 7HT, United Kingdom.

To help us achieve our goal of providing the highest quality products and services, we use information from our interactions with you and other customers, as well as from other parties. Because we respect your privacy, we have implemented procedures to ensure that your personal information is handled in a safe, secure, and responsible manner. We advise you to revisit our privacy policy regularly in order to ensure that you are aware of any modifications or updates to the ways in which we collect and use your personal information.

Security

We are committed to handling your personal information with the highest standards of information security. Personal information provided on the website and online credit card transactions are transmitted through a secure server. You can tell that your data is secure by looking for the padlock icon next to the website address. However, as no data transmissions over the internet can ever be guaranteed as 100% secure, we cannot accept responsibility for an unauthorised access or loss of personal information that is beyond our reasonable control.

We do not store any payment details. Our provider for online payments, Stripe, has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. For more information please visit Stripe’s security page.

Cookies, web beacons and how we use them

A “cookie” is a small data file stored by your Web browser on your computer or mobile device [hard drive]. It allows us to recognize your computer (but not specifically who is using it) upon entering our site by associating the identification numbers in the cookie with other customer information you have provided us. That customer information is stored on our secured database. A “web beacon” or “pixel tag” or “clear gif” is typically a one-pixel image, used to pass information from your computer or mobile device to a website.

We use cookies and web beacons to keep track of what you have in your shopping cart and to remember you when you return to the website as well as to identify the pages you click on during your visit to our site and the name of the website you visited immediately before clicking to the Alexandra Hunt Trading Ltd website.
