Willis Bloom, are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors to our web site. In particular, we want you to know that Willis Bloom is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. In this Privacy Policy, we’ve provided lots of detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information and how we use it. So, pour yourself a cup of tea, snuggle up in a cosy chair and read on.   

 

Google Analytics:

When someone visits www.willisbloom.com we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and 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 only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. We use this to help make our business better, but not at the expense of anyone else. We’re nice folk.

 

Mailing Lists

As part of the registration process for our emails, we collect personal information which may include your name, address, and order history so that we can personalise the marketing emails we send to you. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about glorious things you’ve asked us to tell you about; we do this with your consent and you can opt-out of these emails at any time using the ‘unsubscribe’ link featured in all our emails to you. You will not receive any more marketing emails from Willis Bloom if you do this, but we will still send you transactional emails, for example an order confirmation if you make a purchase from us. We may also use this information to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don't rent or trade email lists with any other organisations and businesses; ever.

 

We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver some of our newsletters. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing us at hello@willisbloom.com,

 

Access to your personal information

You are entitled to view, amend, or delete the personal information that we hold. Email your request to our data protection officer Chris Willis at Chris.willis@willisbloom.com

Cookies Policy

​

We use a system of classifying the different types of cookies which we use on the Website, or which may be used by third parties through our websites. The classification was developed by the International Chamber of Commerce UK and explains more about which cookies we use, why we use them, and the functionality you will lose if you decide you don't want to have them on your device.

 

What is a Cookie?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your personal computer, mobile or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user's device.  

​

How long are cookies stored for?

Persistent cookies - these cookies remain on a user's device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.  

Session cookies - these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improve the user experience.
