Welcome to whogivesaduck.co.uk – the home of ducks, dares, and delightful board game chaos. We take your privacy seriously (and not just because GDPR says we have to).
This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it.
🐣 Who We Are
Our website address is: https://whogivesaduck.co.uk
You can reach us at shop@whogivesaduck.co.uk
📦 What We Collect and Why
We collect a few things so we can:
- Fulfil your orders
- Provide customer support
- Improve our site and marketing
- Keep our community friendly (and spam-free)
This may include:
- Your name, address, and contact details
- Payment info (via secure providers – we never see full card details)
- Your IP address and browser details
- Order history
- Comments you leave on our site
- Cookie data (explained below)
💬 Comments on the Site
When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent to help fight spam.
If you’re using Gravatar, your anonymised email hash may be sent to them to display your profile picture next to your comment.
🍪 Cookies
Yes, we use cookies (the non-chocolate-chip kind). They help us:
- Remember your preferences
- Keep your shopping cart working
- Speed up repeat visits
- Run analytics and performance tracking
Examples:
- If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name/email in cookies for next time.
- If you log in, we set login-related cookies. (They expire after a few days depending on your choices.)
- If you edit or publish content, we add a post-specific cookie—nothing personal.
You can block cookies in your browser settings if you’d prefer to go crumb-free.
🎥 Embedded Content
Some articles or pages may include embedded content (videos, social posts, etc.). These behave as if you’ve visited the source website directly, which means they may track your interactions. You can control this in your privacy settings or browser.
🔐 Who We Share Your Data With
We only share your data with third parties needed to:
- Process payments (e.g. Stripe, PayPal)
- Ship your orders
- Manage customer service
- Stop spam (e.g. automated spam detection tools)
We do not sell your data. Ever.
📁 How Long We Keep Your Data
- Comments: Indefinitely, so we can auto-approve your future replies.
- Orders: We keep order info as long as needed for legal/tax purposes.
- Accounts (if used): You can view, edit, or delete your info at any time (except usernames). Admins can too.
🧾 Your Data Rights
You have rights under UK data law:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct your details
- Ask for your data to be deleted (unless we need to keep it for legal reasons)
- Request a copy of your data
To do any of this, just email us at shop@whogivesaduck.co.uk.
🌍 Where Your Data Goes
Some data (like comments) may be scanned by automated anti-spam tools. Some info may be processed by trusted third-party services located outside the UK, but we make sure they meet UK data protection standards.
🔁 Changes to This Policy
We may update this from time to time (especially if we add new features or ducks). The latest version will always be here.
