Who we are
Check the Base Antiques is a small antiques business based in Scotland, UK. Our website is checkthebaseantiques.co.uk.
Address: [your address]
Email: [email protected]

What we collect
When you place an order, we collect your name, delivery address, email address and phone number. When you message us, we keep your message and contact details so we can reply. If you leave a comment on the blog, we keep your name, email and comment.

We never see or store your card details. Payments are handled securely by our payment provider.

Why we use it
To process and post your order, to answer your questions, and to keep the records the law requires. We don’t send marketing emails, and we never sell your data.

Who we share it with
Only the people needed to complete your order: our payment provider, the courier delivering your parcel, and our website host, Krystal Hosting. Blog comments may be checked by an automated spam filter, and the Gravatar service may be used to show a profile picture beside a comment.

How long we keep it
Order records are kept for 6 years, as UK tax rules require. Messages are kept for as long as needed to answer them. Blog comments are kept unless you ask us to remove them.

Cookies
Our site uses cookies to make the shopping basket and checkout work. Other cookies are only used if you accept them through the cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time.

Your rights
You can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, unless we must keep it for legal reasons. Email us and we’ll reply within one month.

If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
