The personal data we collect and why we collect it. 

When you visit most websites certain information about your device is automatically collected.

On our website this includes information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse our website, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to our website, and information about how you interact with our website. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

  • “Cookies”
  • “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
  • “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Use of Cookies

“Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier.

Our cookies do not contain any personal information about you and are used only to determine your browser and user preferences for our site. This helps us to provide you with the best service and to make it easier when you shop.

You can, if you prefer, set up your internet browser to not accept cookies. You should still be able to use our site without having cookies enabled. However, this may affect the ability to carry out certain functions such as placing orders.

Online Ordering 

When customers place an order on our website they do so through a WooCommerce plugin. Through the purchasing process you are asked for your name, address, telephone number and email along with payment information. This information is stored in the WooCommerce system in order to process your booking and is kept on our archive file after your order, but will be kept no longer than necessary in order to comply with legal obligations. We ask for a telephone number so that we can contact you quickly if there is any issue with your order that we need to discuss.

Additionally, we use this Order Information to screen orders for any potential risk or fraud.

Your IP address is also recorded along with your browser agent in order to minimise spam orders on our website and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

Data processed directly by third parties 

We recognise that security is a major concern when shopping online. We have put a very secure system in place so you can feel completely at ease when shopping on our site.

When you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Fleming Butchers website we only collect information from you that is necessary to fulfil your order. This information includes your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

When you make a payment on our website you may provide payment information such as your credit/debit card or other payment details. We use secure form integration with a Payment Card Industry compliant third-party payment service (Stripe / PayPal) to process all credit/debit card payments. This means that any transactions occur on the secure server of the provider. All information you input is securely encrypted. No data concerning credit/debit cards is stored on our site. This does mean that you have to re-enter your card details every time you place an order with us, but this does ensure increased security.
