Your information

When you purchase with us, we ask for data such as your name, e-mail address, billing address, shipping address and contact details. Forever Nurtured keeps a record of this information for tax purposes and for ensuring we fulfil our contract with you.

The only personal information we hold is what customers provide to us when they purchase from us.

We share it with nobody; however it is stored on relevant systems such as contact methods, Stripe, Mailchimp, WordPress Website, which are all GDPR compliant. If we are required by law to share any information, we will check with each party concerned to ensure they are happy for that to happen. An example of this would be if HMRC requested an audit.

We store data for tax and legal requirements and data is held for 7 years as a requirement by law.

We keep a record of any products you purchase from us, so we can help to deal with any enquiries or problems you may have in the future, and so we can ensure that any information that we send to you is appropriate.
