EARLY ACCESS AND EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS
Visitors can voluntarily join our early-access mailing list to receive information about the launch of A Little Spark – Pass It On.
If you separately agree to receive marketing communications, we may also email you about new products, special offers, charity partnerships and community initiatives.
You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting alittlesparkpassiton@outlook.com.

Depending on the activity, this may include:
• Consent: Where you agree to receive marketing communications or participate in optional activities requiring consent.
• Contract: Where processing is necessary to fulfil an order or provide a requested service.
• Legitimate interests: Where processing is reasonably necessary to respond to enquiries, protect website security or administer our business, provided your rights and interests are appropriately considered.
• Legal obligations: Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.
SHARING INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES
We may share necessary information with trusted providers supporting our website and business operations, including Wix, email communication services and, when available, payment processors and printing and delivery partners.
We do not provide our mailing list to charities, sponsors or other organisations for their independent marketing without an appropriate legal basis.
HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
We periodically review mailing-list information and may retain limited consent and unsubscribe records where necessary to demonstrate compliance and respect communication preferences.

Before introducing this feature, we will explain what information may be publicly displayed and provide appropriate privacy choices.

When our online shop becomes available, we may collect customer names, contact details, delivery addresses and order information.
Information may be shared with payment processors, printing providers and delivery partners where necessary to fulfil orders.
This Privacy Policy will be reviewed and updated before online sales begin.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy as our business develops, new features are introduced or legal requirements change.
The latest version will be published on this page.
