INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT FROM YOU
At Angel Food Bakery we are committed to protecting the privacy of our site visitors and customers. We allow customers to have a private browsing experience and therefore do not require you to register and provide your personal contact details unless you place an order or choose to create an account with us.
During checkout, you can register with us or choose to checkout as a guest. By checking out as a guest we take the minimum information required to place and fulfil your order but you do not have an account with us and your details cannot be accessed through our My Account area. If you choose to register when placing an order, we collect personal information such as your name, email address, delivery and billing address. This information is used to fulfil your order. All information is transmitted using SSL encryption which means information is always encrypted and passed through a secure connection ensuring a very high level of data security. All information is held in our secure database.
We will use your contact details solely for customer service reasons. We will not send you marketing emails, unless you have agreed to this. We will never pass your email address onto any other company for marketing purposes.
We fully adhere to the UK Data Protection Act.
