Privacy Policy

Privacy

Who we are. This site is run by BEAMINSTER CURRY HOUSE, 24-26 Hogshill Street, Beaminster, DT8 3AA. We are responsible for the personal information you give us here.

We handle your personal data in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We use your details only to issue your gift card, to send it to the person you are buying it for, to send you a receipt, and to keep the transaction records the law requires us to keep.

When you buy a gift card we store your name and email address, the name and email address of the person you are sending it to, and any personal message you write on the card. We email the card to them and a receipt to you. Payment is handled by Ryft: your full card number is entered on their secure form and is never seen or stored by us.

We share what is needed to deliver your gift card — with the service that sends the email and the one that takes your payment. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not pass it to anyone for marketing.

Why we are allowed to hold it. We need your details to sell you the gift card and deliver it — that is our contract with you. Separately, the law requires us to keep accounting records of every sale, so those we keep because we have to.

How long we keep it. We keep your details for as long as we need them to run the business and to meet the six-year record-keeping the law requires of us. You can ask us to delete yours sooner.

You can ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it — subject to records we are legally required to keep. Please make these requests in writing: email beaminstercurryhouse@gmail.com.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first and we will try to put it right. You also have the right to complain to the UK’s data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office, at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

Cookies & your device

We do not track you. There is no advertising, no analytics and no third-party tracking on this site. Nothing here follows you to other websites. That is why there is no cookie pop-up to click through — the only things we put on your device are what the site needs to work, or what you have chosen yourself.

What this site keeps on your device (this is separate from the records we hold on our own system — see the Privacy section):

• Light or dark mode — whichever you picked.

Other companies whose files this page loads. The fonts, icons and page code come from Google, Cloudflare and jsDelivr. Loading a file from them means your device’s IP address reaches those companies, as it would on most websites. They set nothing on your device for us. Ryft also sets its own cookies when a payment page is shown; those are for spotting fraudulent payments and are needed to take a card safely.

Clearing it. You can delete everything listed above at any time through your browser’s settings (usually under Privacy, “Clear browsing data” or “Cookies and site data”). Blocking or clearing it will forget your light or dark choice, but you can still buy a gift card.

That only clears what is on your device. It does not remove the gift card records we hold on our own system — those are covered by the Privacy section, and you can ask us to delete them at any time. To do that, or with any question about this page, email beaminstercurryhouse@gmail.com.
