boglizard.ie only keeps information required to complete customers orders, i.e. Name, Address, Telephone no. email address.
I am a one person business, and you can find out a bit more about me on my oomtoo web site about me
In the entire time I have been trading on the internet, since 1993 ! I have never indulged in third party advertising, or knowingly made information available to those who may.
Analytics
As part of the security system, a tracking app which logs those visiting the site. NOTE it can only identify users if they are logged in ! This tracking is useful for troubleshooting if a user, or potential user is having issues. It also helps me protect my site from unwelcome visitors.
Data is deleted on a rolling basis of 2000 visits. Generally boglizard.ie is visited by a search engine, user, or browser about once every 10 to 15 seconds. So any record is deleted within 12 hours.
I use google analytics to work out which pages are popular and to better understand how browsers and customers use my site.
Cookies
Cookies are used by boglizard.ie to help keep track of what’s in your cart, which products you have recently looked at. If you are a registered user and logged in, then they will also be used to identify you personally for the purpose of ensuring any orders that you place are attributed to you. This means that you can view your complete purchase history from your account. They also ensure that your contact data populates the checkout form.
Your data needs to be shared !
Although I don’t use any tracking or analytics software, there are two third parties who are able to share information about your purchases: the payment gateways PayPal and Stripe. This is essential to make payments and complete orders.
Comments
If you submit a comment, then the comment will be attributed to you as a user. Comments are moderated.
If you are using a custom gravatar, then the service will look for it and populate that on any comments you make. Otherwise an anonymous image is used.
How long is your data retained ?
As above, if you haven’t registered, or made a purchase, then your personal data isn’t collected or retained. If you have made a purchase, and this is currently the only way you can register, then your data is kept indefinitely.
You can view your data by simply logging into your account
Where we send your data
Currently the web site boglizard.ie is hosted in Ireland, and the third parties, PayPal and stripe are based in the US. Hosting companies do collect browsing data for analytics purposes, but not personal data.
How I protect your data
boglizard.ie uses SSL technology to verify its authenticity, look for the padlock !
Administration login is protected by 2FA
Because I am a one person business, it is easy to guard against internal data breaches.
What third parties we receive data from
I have always been very wary about information and the internet, and other than the bare minimum required to complete orders and operate the site effectively, third party tracking is minimal.
Any issues
get in touch and I will investigate asap !
