Online Knife Sales & ID's

We’re committed to supporting UK government efforts to reduce knife crime amongst minors through the Offensive Weapons Act 2019.

To help support these efforts, we carry out pre-sale age-verification checks for all age-restricted items being sold to individuals in the UK. This check is carried out securely by AgeChecked.com and will be carried out automatically after you enter your billing details in our checkout when purchasing an age-restricted item. If we are unable to verify your age from your billing details, you will be asked to verify you are over 18 years of age based on electoral roll, driving licence, mobile phone or credit card details before you can compete your purchase.

Please note that no personally identifiable data is stored by AgeChecked.com when carrying out age verification checks. Additionally, all data is encrypted before it is processed by AgeChecked.com.

For all shipments containing age-restricted items (e.g. knives), we will use a mandatory adult signature delivery service provided by our couriers Royal Mail & DPD.  Royal Mail & DPD will require a signature from an adult (18+) on delivery before handing over your shipment. Please note that our delivery partner operates a Challenge 25 approach, meaning that if the recipient is lucky enough to look under 25, the driver will request to see a government issued ID before handing over the shipment.

Data Storage

We store data digitally within the UK and EU. Some of our partners may transfer personal data outside of the EEA where we have sufficient evidence that the data is adequately protected and is processed in a manor compliant with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation.

Where we do store data, we only keep what is necessary and solely for the purpose we collected the data for, whether it be to process and fulfill an order, market our services or carry out statistical analysis. We also hold data so that we can keep a record of product guarantees and warranties.

We regularly review the data we hold and delete any that is deemed as no longer required. For example, if you signed up to our mailing list but failed to engage or open of one of emails for a prolonged period of time, we would remove your details from our mailing list. We do not store or record card payment details. All card data is encrypted by our payment providers and we do not store or have access to personally identifiable payment details.

Ownership Of Data

Under the GDPR, there are strict limitations on how companies can use your data. These are designed to give individuals control over their data and how it is used.

We take the utmost care in handling personal data, but if you feel a high standard of security has not been met, you have the right to raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Additionally, you should be aware of the following rights as a consumer:

The right to access all the personal data we hold on you and to receive a copy of that data without the obligation to pay a fee.

The right to the rectification of any inaccurate personal data we are processing, and have any incomplete set of data completed.

The right to have your data erased from our system in some circumstances such as it’s no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

The right to restrict the processing of your personal data if it is incorrect or no longer needed.

The right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or profiling.

The right to withdraw your consent from electronic marketing.

The right to transmit the personal data you have provided us with to another service provider.

Where you request the erasure of your data, we retain the right to continue processing it in some cases, such as for fraud detection, or to suppress the data from being used again. Where one of these situations apply, we will only retain the absolute minimum amount of data and the record will be purged of any personal identifiers where possible.

If you would like to discuss any of the above or to find out more, please contact info@millyskitchenstore.co.uk

In order to offer you Klarna’s payment methods, we might in the checkout pass your personal data in the form of contact and order details to Klarna, in order for Klarna to assess whether you qualify for their payment methods and to tailor those payment methods for you. Your personal data transferred is processed in line with Klarna’s own privacy notice.


Cookies And Tracking

A cookie is a piece of information stored on your computer’s hard drive and which traces your browsing within websites. Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies, but you can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you turn off cookies we will not be able to track your order to enable you to purchase from our site. Nor will we be able to recognise you as a registered user.

You can find a technical explanation of cookies from Wikipedia here.

A more simple definition is that cookies are text files, saved by your browser, that perform a range of functions for you, ‘the user’ and us, ‘the site’, from remembering what’s in a user’s basket, what currency they like through to telling us how many people visited in a day, and what was purchased. They also help you share content – for example, if you are logged into Facebook, a cookie means that when you come to our site and ‘like’ something, you don’t have to log into Facebook again.

As you browse our website, we may collect data about your computer using cookies, IP address, operating system and browser for system administration and to help us understand the behaviour of our customers. This data is purely statistical and does not identify individuals. We access it through a widely-used platform called Google Analytics. You can find out more information about this here.

You can opt out of using cookies at any time, however this may result in a slower, less smooth experience for you. Each browser has a different method to opt out of using cookies. This resource offers information about how this can be done.
