1. Who We Are
This site is run by Broke Housewife — an independent, UK-based side hustle built to bring affordable press-ons to the people. We're not here to track you, stalk your clicks, or build a data empire. We collect what’s necessary to run this site, and that’s about it.

We only collect the info you give us, like:
-
Your name and email (when you place an order or contact us)

Shipping and billing address (for delivery)
-
Payment info (processed securely by third parties like Wix Payments or Stripe — we never see your card details)

Your site activity (via essential cookies — see below)
Why we collect this info:

To keep the website working smoothly
-

Legal Basis for Collecting Your Info (UK GDPR)
Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR), we need a reason (a legal basis) to collect and use your personal data. Here’s what we rely on:
-
Contract – When you place an order, we need your name, address, and contact info to process and deliver it. This is covered under “contractual necessity.”
-
Consent – If we ever ask to send you marketing emails or use optional cookies (like Google Analytics), we’ll ask your permission first. That’s consent — and you can withdraw it any time.
-
Legitimate Interests – We use essential cookies, basic analytics (if approved), and secure hosting tools to make sure the site works properly, prevent fraud, and improve customer service. That’s considered a legitimate business interest.

Order info: 6 years (for tax/legal reasons)
