Clicking on links to these websites may allow third parties to collect data about you. We advise you to check the privacy policies of other websites you visit.
The processing of your personal data
We process your information in order to fulfill orders, respond to enquiries and resolve any problems.
The lawful bases we use
We use two lawful bases for processing personal data:
The data we hold and what we do with it
Customers who placed an order
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 have been taken by card, by PayPal account, bank transfer or cash.
When you purchased through this website your name, address, email address, phone number if given and details of items ordered, were stored securely by our payment provider. We were notified of your purchase and entered your name and order details into our customer database. We did not store addresses or phone numbers. We used 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.
For custom orders of Mr Tango Shoes your first name and order details (including shoe size and/or foot measurements) were emailed to Mr Tango Shoes for the purpose of making and identifying your order.
To send orders to you, we entered your name and address into a secure shipping fulfillment website to generate shipping labels and postage. Once we confirmed that the order had reached you (either by your confirmation or checking the Royal Mail parcel tracking tool), we deleted your information from the shipping website.
From the order information we stored we were able to analyse the data for popular shoe sizes, styles, colours and other product features that informed what new stock we ordered. This information was and is never shared with other parties.
The systems we use
As noted above, your personal data may have been stored in the following places:
