Privacy Policy

At KitchenKnives Shop, we are committed to protecting your privacy with the same precision and care that goes into crafting our professional cutlery sets. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website knivessaveing.com. By using our site, you agree to the practices described herein, which are designed to comply with applicable privacy laws, including the UK GDPR and other international regulations.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide you with a seamless shopping experience, much like how our knife sets are tailored for culinary excellence. The types of data we collect include:

• Personal Identification Information: Name, email address, phone number, and shipping address when you place an order or contact us.
• Payment Details: Credit card information (e.g., Visa, MasterCard, JCB) or PayPal account details, processed securely through encrypted systems. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected via cookies and similar technologies to enhance site functionality.
• Transaction History: Details of purchases, order values, and shipping preferences to improve our services.
• Communication Records: Any correspondence with our support team via email or other channels.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data is handled with the same meticulous attention as our Japanese steel knives, ensuring it is used only for legitimate purposes:

• To process orders, manage payments, and deliver products (e.g., from 7-piece to 84-piece cutlery sets).
• To provide customer support and respond to inquiries, such as questions about carving knives or shipping policies.
• To improve our website and product offerings based on user behaviour and feedback.
• To send promotional communications (if you opt-in), including updates on new items like bamboo cutting boards or chef’s knives.
• To comply with legal obligations and prevent fraud, ensuring a secure environment for all transactions.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We value your trust and do not sell or rent your personal data. However, we may share information in limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: With trusted partners who assist in payment processing (e.g., PayPal), shipping, and IT services, all bound by confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, such as to comply with a court order or protect our rights and safety.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or sale, your data may be transferred to a successor entity, with notice provided.

We ensure all third parties adhere to strict data protection standards, particularly for international customers outside Asia and remote regions.

4. Data Storage and Security

Just as our knife blocks are built for durability, we implement robust measures to protect your data:

• Storage: Data is stored on secure servers located in the UK and other compliant jurisdictions, retained only as long as necessary for business or legal purposes.
• Security Measures: We use SSL encryption for all transactions, PCI-DSS compliant payment processing, regular security audits, and tokenization for stored payment methods. These measures are designed to prevent unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure.

While we strive for maximum security, no online method is 100% secure, and we encourage you to use strong passwords and monitor your accounts.

5. Your Rights

You have control over your personal data, similar to how a chef wields a precision knife. Under applicable laws, you may:

• Access and request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Rectify inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your data, subject to legal constraints.
• Object to or restrict processing in certain circumstances.
• Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” in emails.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days, consistent with our commitment to customer care.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies—small text files stored on your device—to enhance your browsing experience, much like how our knife sets are designed for efficiency. These help us:

• Remember your preferences and shopping cart items.
• Analyse site traffic and improve performance (e.g., via Google Analytics).
• Provide personalised content, such as recommendations for boning knives or cast iron cookware.

You can manage cookie settings through your browser controls. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality, but it will not prevent you from making purchases.

7. International Data Transfers

As a global provider serving customers worldwide (excluding certain Asian countries and remote regions), your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your residence. We ensure such transfers comply with legal standards, using safeguards like adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses to protect your information.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or laws. The latest version will always be posted on our website, with the “Last Updated” date revised accordingly. Continued use of our site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
