Privacy and Cookie Policy

Here you will find the full details of our privacy and cookie policies for Caribbeanbunch.com.

Caribbean Bunch Privacy Policy

Caribbean Bunch Limited (“Caribbean Bunch”) is dedicated to safeguarding your privacy. We are committed to ensuring that your personal information is protected. This policy explains how we use the information we collect about you and the procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy whilst you use the website.
 
We will only use the information that we collect about you lawfully (in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998).

The Information We Collect and How We Use It

When you register with Caribbean Bunch and place an order, we need to know your name, delivery address, credit or debit card number and expiry date, email address, and telephone number. This information allows us to fulfil your order and notify you of the status of your order. Your orders may be completed by a third-party service, and we will share your information with them to guarantee that your goods are delivered promptly. This third-party service provider is dedicated to safeguarding your information and will not share it or use it for any purpose other than delivering the items you ordered.
 
We may also request optional contact information, such as your mobile number, and demographics like your age.
 
If you subscribe to our mailing lists for pre-orders and other information, you will be asked to specify the areas in which you are interested so that we can tailor the information we send to you to cover the topics and books which we believe you might be interested in.

We may occasionally send inserts with your order, advertising the goods or services. We do not pass on your data to these third-party companies.
 
We reserve the right to use your information to inform you about special offers, author signings, and other features or events on our website that we believe might be of interest to you.
 
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website. Your IP address is also used to help identify you and your details in our database.
 
We monitor customer traffic to help us develop and improve our website for the benefit of our customers. To enhance your use of the website, you will be given a session ID, which will only last for the duration of that visit to the site. Every time you visit the site, you will have a different session ID.

By submitting your information, you consent to the use of that information as set out in this policy. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post the changes on this page to keep you informed. Additionally, we will send you an email notifying you of any changes and provide you with an opportunity to request that we not use your information in that manner. Because the Internet infrastructure is global and it is not possible to predict the routes that information sent over the Internet will take, the information you provide may be transferred temporarily via a route that takes it outside the European Economic Area as it passes between you and us. By submitting your information, you consent to this transfer.

Security of Your Information

We follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information that you have given us. This is to prevent unauthorised access or unlawful processing of your personal information. We keep your information confidential and store it on a secure server, which is password-protected and hidden behind a firewall from the outside world. We use secure socket layer software (SSL) to encrypt all of your personal information, including your credit card number and your name and address. Caribbean Bunch’s internal procedures cover the storage, access, and disclosure of your information.
 
The Verisign Secure Site Program allows you to learn more about the websites you visit before you submit any confidential information. When you see a Verisign logo, clicking on it will verify that this website is secure.

Non-disclosure To Third Parties

We will disclose your personal data to third parties only if you consent or if it is necessary to complete your transaction with us. This is subject to the proviso that we may disclose or transfer your data to a partner company where you have supplied information via a site that is co-branded with that partner company or to members of our own group. If personally identifying data about you may be shared with a partner company, we will tell you before we collect or transfer the data so that you may opt out of this transfer if you wish.
 
We use your information only as set out in this policy and will not sell, rent, or pass your information on to others for marketing purposes without your consent.
 
Caribbean Bunch may, however, provide aggregate statistics about its customers, sales traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors and relevant affiliate partners, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information. We may also release account information where we believe in good faith that this release is reasonably necessary to comply with the law.

Your Consent

By submitting your information to our website, you consent to the collection, storage, and processing of your personal information by us in the manner set out in this Policy. Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be shown on this website, ensuring you are always informed about the information we collect, how we use it, and the circumstances under which we may disclose it. All customers will receive an email notifying them of any changes and providing the option to request that their information not be used in that manner.

It’s no threat to your computer. Embrace cookies as your trusted allies in navigating the digital marketplace. Allow us to give you a more efficient customer experience.

What Are Cookies Used For?

There are two main types of cookies: first-party and third-party cookies.
 
First-party cookies are small data files that the caribbeanbunch.com website uses for things such as keeping track of what you’ve put in your basket and remembering who you are when you return to our site. We don’t save personal information such as credit card details in the cookies we create.
 
Third-party cookies are set on behalf of caribbeanbunch.com. The most important of these are Google and Affiliate Window, which display text or banner adverts on our behalf on a number of other reputable websites. These partner cookies don’t collect personal data and would not be able to identify you as an individual customer.

On the whole, cookies are used:

  1. To ensure seamless website functionality, particularly for online transactions, robust technical measures are vital. Implementing these essential components enhances user experience and builds trust, making every interaction smooth and secure.
  2. To allow Caribbeanbunch.com to gather anonymous data from customers’ browsing and shopping habits for internal analysis.
  3. To enable caribbeanbunch.com to meet its contractual obligations to make payments to third parties when a product is purchased by someone who has visited our website from a site operated by those parties.

How to Manage Cookies:

If cookies aren’t enabled on your computer, it will mean that your shopping experience on our website will be limited to browsing and researching; you won’t be able to add products to your basket and buy them.
