Your personal information is just that – personal, so we always treat it with the highest standards of security and confidentiality, and rest assured, we never share any information about you with any other company for their own marketing purposes.

What information do we collect about you?

When you place an order for our products, register for an online account, or sign up for our electronic communications, such as our email newsletters, we collect information about you. We also collect information about you when you voluntarily complete customer surveys or provide us with feedback. Furthermore, if you browse the Organic Herb Trading Ltd website, we may collect information about your website visits using 'cookies'.

How do we use the information about you?

Your information allows us to fulfil any orders you place with us, update you on the progress of your orders and assist with any future customer service queries. The details of every transaction that you place with us is kept for tax and accounting purposes for a minimum of seven years.

If you have signed up for our electronic communications, we’ll use your information, including details of any previous purchases, how you interact with us and any recent Organic Herb Trading Ltd website browser history, to help us decide what we talk to you about and when. Ultimately, we want to make sure that the information we send you will be useful and interesting, this information will help us achieve that.

We also use your information to create profiles of, for example, our most loyal customers, or to create customer interest groups, for example, those of you who appear to love specific product lines. This not only helps us to better tailor our future marketing communications, but it also helps us to find potential new customers who may also want to purchase from us and/or share the same interests.

We employ the services of other companies to support our business for specific functions, for example: despatching orders (using designated parcel carriers); processing payments (using designated payment providers); sending Organic Herb Trading Ltd marketing communications (using a small number of postal and electronic communications service providers). For certain purchases, we may need to verify your identity for age verification and fraud prevention purposes using the services of a third party. All third-party service providers we work with are carefully vetted and highly trusted by us, and they fully comply with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. Furthermore, they only use your information to perform the services that we have employed them to do.

How will we keep in touch with you?

With your permission, we would love to keep you up to date with our latest news, views, products, offers and more, by contacting you by post, by email and using other internet-based digital communications, including social media, plus any similar services or applications as they become available.

If you have previously chosen to receive our marketing communications, we’ll continue to send you these unless we think you are no longer interested in hearing from us or you ask us to stop, which we’ll always honour without any fuss or delay. We promise never to bombard you with too many Organic Herb Trading Ltd marketing communications and we only conduct such marketing for Organic Herb Trading’s legitimate business interests. You will never hear from any other company as a result of signing up for Organic Herb Trading Ltd marketing communications.
