Registration Information: If you register for any of our products, services or newsletters you will provide us information about yourself.

Email Information: If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses.

The type of information we will collect about you includes: email address and your name, your download history.

Other information we may keep:

• If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
• Details of transactions you carry out through our site and of the fulfilment of your orders.
• Details of your visits to our site including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, blogs and other communication data, whether this is required for our own billing purposes or otherwise and the resources that you access.

We will never collect sensitive information about you without your explicit consent.

The information we hold will be accurate, relevant and up to date. You can check the information that we hold about you or ask for it to be removed by emailing us at hello@sovyshka.com If you find any inaccuracies we will delete or correct them promptly. The Access to Information Act gives you the right to access information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the Act.

All personal information will be held in accordance with our internal security policy and the law. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Your email address will be held both on our own server, hosted by AC hosting and by our email marketing server, hosted by MailGun. All of these companies say they are GDPR compliant.

When you sign up for a Sovyshka account, you will be asked if you want to be added to our email list – by ticking the box you indicate consent to this. We will only send you emails about new Sovyshka products or things we think will be of interest to you.

We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. They help us to improve our site and to deliver a better and more personalised service. They enable us:

• To estimate our audience size and usage pattern.
• To store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise our site according to your individual interests.
• To speed up your searches.
• To recognise you when you return to our site.

You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our site.

If you entered the site from a link from another website, a cookie may also be set to help us determine the effectiveness of the campaign.

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data.  You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us on hello@sovyshka.com

By submitting your personal information you consent to the use of that information as set out in this policy. Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by email.

In addition, any personal information you enter on the website is both securely stored and is also encrypted when it is entered, using SLL encryption. As further security, your payment details are also secured by Paypal and Stripe (whichever you choose to use), so you can be absolutely sure that all information you give us is 100% safe.
