Who we are

Our website address is: https://modelrailwayresource.co.uk. We are part of Salty Dog Emporium.

On-Line Ordering

We will hold your on-line order contact information on our customer database. The contact details consist of Name, Address, Email address and phone number, which are used for processing your on-line orders. We do not hold any financial details as we do not request these. Any payment by you is dealt with by Zettle through Payment Links, Direct Bank Transfer or directly with PayPal and as such is covered by the Privacy and Data Protection Policies of Zettle, your bank or PayPal.

You may also create an Account, which as well as holding the contact data, will also provide you access to your previous orders, current basket and options to amend your contact details. This facility uses double opt-in for sign-ups, where you will be asked to confirm your request for an account.

You may request deletion of your data and account from our database by requesting this at privacy@saltydogemporium.co.uk.

Mailing List Subscribe

We will add you to a Mailer Lite mailing list to receive our newsletters and special offers, if requested through use of the ‘Newsletter Subscribe’ button or the ‘Subscribe to our Newsletter’ checkbox choice. This uses your provided email address.

Your Name, Email address and Location are collected and transferred to our Mailer Lite database via our subscribe form for use within our communications. You may withdraw consent or change preferences using the Mailer Lite “unsubscribe” and “preferences” links within the footer of the Newsletter or Communication. You can also request deletion of your data from our Mailer Lite database by requesting this at privacy@saltydogemporium.co.uk.

Personal Data

Your data is important to us and so we will not pass your contact information onto any third party. If you would like your personal information removed from the database at any time, please let us know, as detailed above.

We will contact you at times to see if all of these details are still correct and to check that you are happy for us to keep your information on our database.

Safeguarding Your Information

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Information.

Accounts require a username and password to log in. You must keep your username and password secure, and never disclose it to a third party. Because the information in your Account is sensitive, account passwords are encrypted, which means we cannot see your passwords. We cannot resend forgotten passwords either. We will only reset them for you if you cannot.

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Google Search Console

We use Google Search Console to help understand how our website visitors find our website and to improve our search engine optimisation. Find out more information about how the information may be used, how to control the use of your information, and how to opt-out of having your data used by Google, Here (Opens in a new tab).

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service Privacy Policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Embedded content from other websites

Suggested text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Any questions, please send them to privacy@saltydogemporium.co.uk.
