Your use of our Service signifies your consent to us collecting and
using personal information about you in accordance with this Privacy
Policy. Should we choose to change our Privacy Policy for any reason, the
changes will be posted here, so that you are always kept informed of how we
collect and use your personal information, and when we may disclose
it. Please note we will not collect the personal information of any
individual who tells us he or she is under the age of 18. In order to process your purchases and in order to reconcile our
accounts, Protx or such other payment partner as we may use from
time to time may provide us with information detailing the credits and/or
debits made to your credit/debit card. We make sure that all the information we hold on you is as safe as
possible. In addition, we have strict security procedures covering
the storage and disclosure of your information in order to prevent unauthorised access and to comply with the UK Data Protection Act
1998. This means that sometimes we may ask you for proof of identity
before disclosing any personal information to you. We use your information to process orders you make from our Site. We
may contact you from time to time to let you know about our services
which may include sending you newsletters and news on events that you may be
interested in. You can elect not to receive such marketing material
at any time by writing to info@thehatmagazine.com
