We use two lawful bases for processing personal data:
The data we hold and what we do with it
Enewsletter subscribers
You may subscribe to our enewsletter via our website, via a link on our social media pages, or by giving verbal consent to be added to the subscriber list. The date of your consent, your email address and, if given, first and last name, are stored securely by our enews service and used solely for the purpose of sending you issues of the newsletter (currently on a quarterly basis) and one annual sale announcement. Once you have received at least one issue of the newsletter, our enews service stores metrics on what issues you open and click. We use this information to inform the content and structure of future emails. Our enews service also stores information on the email client you use to read our emails, your general geographic location and your preferred language, but we do not use this information for any purpose. We do not export any of your information from our enews service or share it with any other party.
Customers who place orders
Orders are purchases of items via our website, via email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp communication, social media messaging or in person, resulting in a payment for items or payment of a deposit towards a custom order. Payment may be taken by card, by PayPal account, bank transfer or cash.
When you purchase through this website your name, address, email address, phone number if given and details of items ordered, are stored securely by our payment provider. We are notified of your purchase and enter your name, email address and items ordered into our customer database. We use your email address for the purposes of confirming the shipment of your order, resolving any queries about your order and fulfilling returns and exchanges. Payment information, including card number, is not accessible by us. Payments completed using PayPal are bound by the PayPal Privacy Policy.
If your purchase was through a channel other than this website and your order is to be sent to you we store your name, address, email address and items ordered in our customer database. For in-person purchases we only store your name if you choose to give it, otherwise the order information is anonymised.
For custom orders of Mr Tango Shoes your first name and order details (including shoe size and/or foot measurements) are emailed to Mr Tango Shoes for the purpose of making and identifying your order.
To send orders to you, we enter your name and address into a secure mailing fulfillment service website to generate shipping labels and postage. Once we have confirmed that the order has reached you (either by your confirmation or checking the Royal Mail parcel tracking tool), we delete your information from the mailing fulfillment service. If we entered your address in our database because your order was placed outside our website, we delete your address unless you are a repeat customer who specifically asks us to store your address for ease of fulfillment of future orders.
From the order information we store we are able to examine our data for popular shoe sizes, styles, colours and other product features. This information is never shared with other parties.
Customers who request estimates
In the case of custom orders, during an enquiry we store your name, a method of contacting you (dependent on how you contacted us it may be email address, phone number or nothing if the contact was via social media), and details of what you are seeking. If an enquiry leads to an item being purchased or a custom order being placed, your information is processed as described above under "Customers who place orders". If an enquiry does not lead to a purchase, we do one of the following: if you have asked to be informed when a desired item is in stock we keep your information for the sole purpose of fulfilling this request; if you have no further interest we delete your information along with any relevant emails, text messages, voicemails, WhatsApp and social media messages.
The systems we use
As noted above, your personal data may be stored in the following places:
