Privacy & Cookie Policy

Privacy & Cookie policy

Hello Friend!  Thanks for visiting BabyRice.co.uk. You've landed on this page because you want to learn more about how we handle the data we hold. All of this information can be found here in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

What this policy covers

The BabyRice team understands that privacy and data security is a major concern for our customers. We're consumers too, and that's why we treasure your data and protect it like it's our own. These policies act as our guideline for how we process, use and protect your personal data. Please read these policies carefully and don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you require further clarification. Please note, these policies may change in response to legislative changes and other business critical requirements. The babyrice.co.uk website (the "Site") is owned and operated by BabyRice Limited. The data controller is BabyRice Limited, referred to in this policy as “we” or “us”.

This policy sets out our guidelines for privacy and cookies, covering:

  • the types of personal data we collect
  • how and why we collect your personal data
  • when and why we share personal data
  • your rights and choices
  • how we protect personal data


1. The types of personal data we collect

1.1 What personal data do we collect and how do we obtain it?

BabyRice is committed to protecting your privacy and as such we will only ever use the information that we collect about you in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018. We collect, store and use your personal information for specific purposes in order to make your relationship with BabyRice as smooth as possible. To that end, we may collect the following personal data when you register on the Site, by phone, email or post or when you speak with us through social media:

  • Personal details, including your name, email address, telephone number, postal and billing addresses;
  • Information about your online purchases;
  • Information about your online browsing behaviour on our Site;
  • Information about the devices you have used to access our Site;
  • Details about digital communications we send to you that you open, including any links you click on;
  • Your feedback and contributions to customer surveys and questionnaires;

1.2 Why do we ask for your phone number?

We ask you to provide a phone number when setting up your account. This is so that we can contact you quickly to resolve any issues relating to your order. We may also, from time to time, contact you to ensure that you are happy with the service you received.

1.3 Credit card transactions

Your full card details are not recorded or stored in our database. BabyRice collects and stores only the final four numbers of your credit or debit card along with the expiry date and cardholder name to enable you to select that card when making future purchases. They are encrypted and are transferred securely to one or more third party payment service providers for immediate authorisation. Once we have received authorisation from the payment service provider we will confirm your order.

1.4. Security of your account and password

You must never share the username and password with which you register with babyrice.co.uk with anyone else. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and any other identifying information. We know that you may use the same password for other online accounts, and that it is highly sensitive. Rest assured, your password will remain encrypted and we do not have access to it. If you forget your password, you can request to reset it. By requesting to reset your password an email will be sent to the email address registered with your account containing a link to reset your password. You will then be able to access your account and create a new password.

2. Why we collect your personal data

The personal data you provide (including your contact and delivery details, payment information, purchase and download history) will be collected, processed, stored and used by us, in order to:

  • provide goods and services to you
  • manage and improve our day-to-day operations
  • improve customer satisfaction and experience
  • process payments
  • provide support
  • contact and interact with you
  • tailor advertising on this and other platforms
  • and otherwise in accordance with our legal rights and obligations


3. Sharing your data
3.1 Sharing your data with partners and service providers
All the information we collect via the Site or through correspondence (including telephone calls) with you is used to operate, improve the service we offer you and to personalise our products service. Sometimes, it will be necessary for us to work with partners in order to provide the products and services you have requested. When we share personal data with these companies we require them to keep it safe, and they must not use your personal data for their own marketing purposes.
The list below outlines the circumstances in which we may share your data:
1. We may pass on your orders to selected partner(s) and/or subcontractors so they can supply goods and services to you.
2. BabyRice and our partners may use subcontractors (for example to assist with delivery and fulfilment) to process and provide your orders to you.
3. Technical administration of our website.
4. Letting you know about offers, news and products from our sister company, Framing Marvellous (FM) – we will only do so if you have consented to hearing from FM.
5. To verify details of your payment method or credit card account.
3.2 Sharing your data with other organisations
We will NEVER sell your data to other companies. There are, however, a very limited set of circumstances in which we may share some of your data with others:

  • Our data records are a business asset, so in the unlikely event that our business assets are ever sold your data would be shared with the new business entity. You will receive notice of any such event.
  • If the law or a public authority says we must share the personal data.
  • If we need to share personal data in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (this includes preventing fraud and reducing credit risk).
