What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymised string (hash) of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. Their privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, avoid including embedded location data (e.g., EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract this data from images.
Social Media
We may share photos of our cakes on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Google. Photos may feature the cake’s design, including names or ages of recipients, unless these include sensitive personal details (e.g., surnames or addresses).
If you do not wish for your cake photos to be shared, or want specific details excluded, you must notify us at the time of your order or upon collection. Once published, photos cannot be edited.
Contact Forms
Data collected through contact forms, such as emails and personal details, is encrypted and securely stored on our systems.
