Who Is Responsible

The operator identified on our seller information page is responsible for personal information used in this store. Use the privacy contact shown below, or customer care, for questions and rights requests. Additional jurisdiction-specific protections apply where the law covers your use of our services.

Information We Process

Account and transaction information may include your name, email, phone, addresses, order history, membership activity, optional preferences and correspondence. We retain payment status and provider references rather than asking you to send card security details. Forms and account actions create service and security records. Optional analytics can record page activity, device and browser information, approximate location and limited IP-related data when enabled and permitted.

Why We Use It

We use data to fulfil purchases, arrange delivery, maintain accounts, handle refunds and requests, prevent misuse, meet accounting obligations and operate the website. Where a lawful-basis framework applies, these purposes rely on contract performance, legal obligations, appropriate legitimate interests or consent as relevant. Optional promotional messages and analytics use the permissions required in your location. We do not treat a purchase or acceptance of sales terms as blanket marketing consent.

Service Providers and International Handling

Necessary recipients can include hosting and database services, payment providers, carriers, email providers, professional advisers and authorities where required by law. Optional analytics providers receive information only under the configured consent controls. Service providers may operate in other countries. Where regulated transfers apply, we must use an applicable lawful transfer mechanism and safeguards; contact us for information about the arrangements relevant to your data. We do not promise that all information remains in your home country.

Retention and Protection

Account information is retained while needed for the account and associated obligations. Order, refund and accounting records are kept for applicable tax, consumer and dispute periods. Support records are retained while needed to resolve the matter and protect legitimate claims. Optional analytics uses the configured retention period shown in our privacy controls. Backups may expire on a separate recovery cycle. Access is restricted to authorized purposes, but no internet service can promise absolute security.

Imported Records and Communications

When Forest Clay changes commerce systems, existing order and customer records may be migrated to continue service, maintain purchase history and meet legal obligations. Migration does not create new promotional consent. You can unsubscribe from marketing; essential receipts, account security and order updates may still be sent. If you receive a stock-availability notice, that request does not itself subscribe you to general marketing.

Your Choices and Requests

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, withdrawal of consent or an objection to certain processing. Some records must be retained despite a deletion request. We may verify identity proportionately and will explain a lawful refusal and available appeal. Use privacy rights and requests and the footer privacy controls. You may complain to your relevant data-protection authority. We do not penalize you for exercising a protected right.

Children and Changes

This store is intended for adult purchasers and is not designed to collect information from children for marketing. A parent or guardian can contact us about information submitted by a child. Updated notices appear with an effective date. Material changes requiring a new notice or consent will be handled accordingly.

CURRENT ANALYTICS NOTICE

Visitor Analytics & Your Choices

Optional analytics starts only after you choose “Allow analytics”. We use it to understand traffic, improve the store and measure shopping activity. You may choose “Essential only” without affecting shopping and change your choice through “Privacy choices” in the footer.

When allowed, our analytics records a random browser identifier, visited page paths, visit dates and times, approximate country and city, device and browser type, referrer domain, campaign labels, active time and shopping events. We do not record typed messages, passwords, card details or screen recordings. URLs are reduced to page paths; private order and account links are normalised.

Full IP Addresses Are Encrypted and Retained for Up To 7 days, then erased. They are masked in reports and may be revealed only by an administrator; that access is logged. Our visit records expire after 90 days. Approximate IP location may be wrong for mobile networks, VPNs or shared connections. MaxMind processes the visitor IP address for approximate location lookup.

Google Analytics 4 is enabled for visitors who allow analytics. Google processes its analytics data under its own terms and retention settings. This module does not send custom IP addresses, account identity or form contents to Google; advertising consent remains denied. Browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals disable optional analytics.

The essential consent preference cookie (fc_analytics_consent) lasts up to 180 days. After consent, fc_analytics_session in local storage groups activity into visits, renewing after 30 minutes of inactivity. fc_analytics_purchases avoids repeat purchase events in the browser for up to 30 days. Google may set its own analytics cookies after consent. Withdrawing consent clears our browser analytics identifiers and Google analytics cookies on this site, stops future collection, and removes stored full IP addresses for that browser; existing visit records expire under the retention period. The preference-change marker contains only a timestamp to synchronise browser tabs.

To request deletion of retained analytics, contact care@forestclay.com. If your browser still has the analytics preference cookie, the support team may use your browser’s visitor reference to locate its records. Customer accounts and order records have their own retention purposes described above.
