What Personal Information About Customers Does King’s Fine Food Gather?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalise and continually improve your shopping experience at King’s Fine Food. We use the information to handle orders, deliver products and services, process payments, communicate with you about orders, products, services and promotional offers, update our records and generally maintain your accounts with us, display content such as wish lists and customer reviews and recommend merchandise and services that might be of interest to you. We also use this information to improve our store and platform, prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our website and enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf.

The information that you give us is used for such purposes as responding to your requests, customising future shopping for you, improving our store, and communicating with you.

Does King’s Fine Food share the Information it receives?

Information about our customers is an important to us and we do not share customer information with third parties. King’s Fine Food shares customer information only with HSBC Merchant Services for security purposes.

• Third Party Service Providers: We employ other companies to perform necessary functions on our behalf. Examples include, delivering packages, sending e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by the UK's Data Protection Act 1998.
• Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of King’s Fine Food customers. If you do not wish to receive such offers, you will need to opt out. Opting out can be achieved in your account management settings, or by notifying us in a written format.
• Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that King’s Fine Food or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
• Protection of King’s Fine Food and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of King’s Fine Food, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in a way that is contrary to the commitments made in this Privacy Notice.
  
  How Secure Is Information About Me?

• We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using 128 bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
• We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
• We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personally identifiable customer information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.
• It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer.

What About Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other Websites?

Our site may include links to other websites that we have vetted and believe will be of interest to our customers. We do not provide any personally identifiable customer information to these advertisers or third-party websites.

These third-party websites and advertisers, sometimes use technology to send (or "serve") the links that appear on our website directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalise advertising content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are not covered by this Privacy Notice. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.

King’s Fine Food gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with King’s Fine Food for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information. This list will change as our website evolves.

What Choices Do I Have?

• As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of such King’s Fine Food features as your Wish Lists and Customer Reviews.
• You can add or update certain information. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the previous version for our records.
• If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please opt out of this service. If you do not want to receive Conditions of Use and other legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices will still govern your use of King’s Fine Food and orders placed with King’s Fine Food, and it is your responsibility to review them for changes.

Notices and Revisions

If you have any concern about privacy at King’s Fine Food, please e-mail us a thorough description and we will try to resolve the issue for you.

Our business changes constantly and our Privacy Notice and the Conditions of Use will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our website frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
