At The Energy Edit, we value human connection and transparency. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website, sign up for The Energy Edit newsletter, or purchase our curated boxes.

We process your data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

The Energy Edit is the data controller responsible for your personal data.

​

2. The Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

We only collect the information necessary to deliver our services, fulfill your orders, and keep you inspired.

  • Transaction & Delivery Data: This includes your name, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and order details. We collect this when you buy a curated box or tangible tools from our shop. Our legal basis is the Performance of a Contract, as we need this information to ship your physical items.

  • Technical & Usage Data: This includes your IP address, browser type, and information about how you interact with our site. This is collected automatically via cookies and analytics when you browse. Our legal basis is Legitimate Interests to keep our website functional, secure, and running smoothly.

  • Ship and deliver your curated boxes and physical tools.

  • Send you The Energy Edit newsletter (which you can opt out of at any time using the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email).

  • Respond to your inquiries when you reach out to us via email.

  • Maintain and optimise the performance of our website.

​

4. Sharing Your Data

We never sell your data. We only share your information with trusted third-party services essential to running our business:

  • Delivery & Logistics: Courier and postal services to deliver your boxes.

  • E-commerce & Email Marketing Service Providers: The secure digital platforms we use to host our website, manage our shop, and distribute our updates.

  • Payment Processors: Secure financial services used to process your transactions.

​

We ensure all third parties respect the security of your personal data and treat it in accordance with the law.

​​​

5. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers may be located outside the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA). Whenever we transfer your data outside the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by utilising UK government-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs).

​

6. Data Retention

We only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

  • Newsletter Data: Kept until you choose to unsubscribe.

  • Order Data: Kept as long as required by UK tax law (typically 6 years following the transaction).

​

Under the UK GDPR, you have full control over your data. You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.

  • Correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • Erase your data (the "right to be forgotten"), subject to our legal obligations to retain transaction history.

  • Object to or restrict the processing of your data.

  • Withdraw your consent at any time (e.g., unsubscribing from the newsletter).
