In this Privacy Policy, we’ve provided information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.
How do we collect data?
We collect data directly from our customers, either when inputting an order onto our website or when placing an order over the telephone.

We collect this data as part of a contract to supply goods as paid for.
Types of data we collect
Names & Addresses
We use the names and addresses provided by you in order to accurately process sales transactions and to deliver the items you have purchased to the correct address.
Telephone Numbers
If you provide us with a telephone number we will use this to keep you updated with the status of your order and the progress of your delivery.
E-Mail address
If you provide us with your e-mail address we will again use this to keep you updated with the status of your order and the progress of your delivery.
We may also use your e-mail address for our own marketing purposes and to keep you informed of our latest news and of any new offers. We will only do this if you specifically authorise us to do so when entering your details during checkout. You may also add your email to our mailing list via an online registration form. You will always be able to change your mind and opt out at any time.
Credit or Debit Card numbers
We use WorldPay to process all of our card payment transactions. WorldPay are a specialist online payment provider who are compliant with all the industry security standards and requirements (PCI DSS).
If you purchase from us online, your payment card details are collected directly by WorldPay and at no time are these made available to The Duvet Store.
If you purchase from us over the telephone, we will enter your payment card details onto the WorldPay system on your behalf. These details will not be held or stored by The Duvet Store once the payment has been processed.
How long do we keep your data for?
We keep your contact details and a record of your purchases for a reasonable length of time due to a number of factors, including:
- To facilitate the smooth processing of any additional purchases
- To keep your information available in case of queries relating to product guarantees
- To keep you updated with new offers and relevant company updates
Who do we share your personal details with?
Delivery Companies
We will advise the couriers which we are using to deliver your order of your name, address, telephone and e-mail address. This is in order that they can safely deliver your order whilst keeping you updated as to its progress. They will not share your details with anyone else or use it for their own marketing purposes.
Manufacturer
Occasionally, in order to save waiting time, we will deliver orders directly to you from our UK based manufacturer. In order to do this we need to share with them your name, address, telephone & e-mail address so that they can accurately arrange for the safe delivery of your order. They will not share your details with anyone else or use it for their own marketing purposes.
Website Developer
Zudu are our website developers who as such are processors of our data. They do not share your details or use it for their own marketing.
Google Analytics / AdWords
When someone visits www.theduvetstore.co.uk we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect and log details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is also used by Google AdWords which is an e-commerce marketing platform. The information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make any attempt, and do not allow Google to make any attempt, to find out the identities of those visiting our website.
Trust Pilot
We use an external independent company called Trust Pilot to collect and publish reviews from our customers. They will use only your e-mail address to contact you and invite you to leave a review.
