Data Security
Your safety is guaranteed because we use leading payment processors (Barclays Merchant Service/Sagepay) to process and manage your personal information. Barclays Merchant Service and Sagepay use the latest security measures to protect your details when you shop with us. Your credit/debit card information is submitted directly to our payment processor (Barclays Merchant Service/Sagepay), and your card details are not stored by us.

The data that we collect from you will not be transferred to, or stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Where we have given you (or you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

If The Hanging Lantern Company Limited, or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, personal data held by us about our customers will be one of the transferred assets. The buyer will only be able to use your information on the same basis that we can. You will be notified if this happens.

We may be under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
