🛡️ Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 October 2025

Welcome to Cheeky Charlie’s Bazaar (“we”, “us”, or “our”) — a proudly independent online marketplace curating unique finds, thoughtful gifts, and trusted affiliate brands we genuinely love.

Your privacy is important to us 💕 — this policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit www.cheekycharliebazaar.co.uk, interact with our social posts, or shop through our affiliate links and direct sales.

🔍 1. Information We Collect

We may collect and process information in the following ways:

a. Information you provide directly

  • When you contact us by email or social media.
  • When you subscribe to our newsletter or enter giveaways.
  • When you make a purchase (through affiliate partners or directly from our shop), including basic billing or delivery details.

b. Information collected automatically

  • IP address, browser type, and device details.
  • Site usage and analytics via tools such as Google Analytics and Site Kit by Google.
  • Cookies or pixels used to personalise content, improve recommendations, and measure performance.

c. Information from third parties

  • Affiliate networks (e.g. Awin, Bunches, Online Home Shop, Card Factory, Gomatic, Cats in Charge, and others) when you click one of our partner links.
  • Payment processors and delivery services when you order directly from our shop.

🍪 2. Cookies & Tracking

Cookies help make the Bazaar run smoothly ✨.
We use them to:

  • Keep the website functional and secure.
  • Understand visitor interests and improve our content.
  • Suggest relevant brands or products based on your activity.
  • Track affiliate sales so we can earn small commissions — helping support our free content.

You can manage or withdraw consent at any time via the CookieYes banner or your browser settings.
See our full Cookie Policy for more details.

💼 3. How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to:

  • Provide and personalise your shopping experience.
  • Improve website performance and usability.
  • Respond to messages, questions, or support requests.
  • Share updates, gift guides, or special offers (only if you’ve opted in).
  • Analyse affiliate performance to keep recommendations transparent and relevant.
  • Fulfil legal, tax, or record-keeping obligations.

🤝 4. Sharing Your Data

We only share data with trusted third parties when necessary, such as:

  • Hosting, analytics, and email service providers.
  • Affiliate networks to confirm referral activity.
  • Payment processors and couriers for order fulfilment.
  • Legal or regulatory authorities where required.

We never sell, rent, or misuse your personal information.

🌍 5. Affiliate Link Disclosure

Some pages and posts contain affiliate links — meaning if you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
This helps keep Cheeky Charlie’s Bazaar running while allowing us to feature honest recommendations from brands we truly believe in 🐾.

Once you leave our site, your data is covered by that retailer’s own Privacy Policy.

💳 6. E-Commerce & Payments

When you make a purchase directly from our shop, all payments are securely processed through trusted providers such as PayPal or Stripe.
We never store full card details or security codes on our servers.

Your order data (such as name, address, and email) is used solely to process and fulfil your purchase.
Refunds and returns are handled in line with our Refund and Returns Policy.

🛡️ 7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to:

  • Deliver requested services or purchases.
  • Maintain records for tax or legal compliance.
  • Improve site performance and user experience.

🔐 8. Data Security

We protect your information using SSL encryption and modern security tools to prevent unauthorised access, alteration, or loss.
Our site is also safeguarded by firewall and malware protection through Wordfence.

✉️ 9. Your Rights (UK GDPR)

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold.
  • Ask for corrections or deletion.
  • Withdraw consent for marketing emails.
