Privacy Policy
You can read this whole page in two minutes; that is the point of it.
Essex Card Shop & Gift trades from 47 Avenue A, New York, NY 10009, United States; the website is an extension of that counter. Questions about privacy can be sent to [email protected].
What we collect
- Order details — name, shipping address, billing address, email, phone, and the packs ordered.
- Account details — only if you choose to create an account: email, password hash, saved addresses.
- Support messages — whatever you write to us through the contact form, chat panel or email, kept with the related order.
- Technical data — IP address, browser type and pages visited, used for security and to keep the site working.
What we never see
Card numbers never reach this website. Payments are processed by our payment provider on their own systems; we receive only a confirmation, the last four digits and the authorisation result.
Why we hold it
- To pack, ship and track your order.
- To answer your messages and handle returns.
- To meet tax and accounting obligations, which require us to keep sales records.
- To detect and stop fraudulent orders.
Who else sees it
Only the parties that have to: the carrier (name, address, phone for delivery), the payment processor (billing details), and our email and hosting providers. None of them may use your details for their own marketing. We do not sell, rent or trade personal data.
How long we keep it
Order records are kept for seven years because tax rules require it. Support messages are kept for two years. Account data is kept until you ask us to delete the account.
Your choices
Write to [email protected] to ask for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to have it deleted where we are not legally required to keep it. We reply within 1 business day and complete the request within 30 days. We do not send marketing email.
Children
This shop is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16; if we learn that we have, we delete it.
