Website advertising disclosure
This website uses Meta’s Facebook pixel (1020002987795803) for page-view measurement and advertising optimisation. When permitted, Meta receives visited page URLs, browser and device information, IP address and advertising cookie identifiers such as _fbp and _fbc. We do not enable customer data matching or send purchases, checkout details, email addresses or phone numbers through this installation.
Advertising tracking is blocked until you accept in regions requiring consent, or when your region cannot be determined. Elsewhere it is enabled unless you reject it or your browser signals an applicable opt-out. Advertising cookies may last up to three months. Essential shopping cookies are unaffected.
Your browser stores an anonymous visitor reference and a history of your advertising choices, timestamps, region and the notice shown. Later withdrawal preserves earlier acceptance evidence. Use Cookie settings in the footer at any time to withdraw; changes apply immediately, including in other open tabs. Blocked page visits are not replayed. Clearing browser storage removes this local record.
Meta may process this information internationally under its Privacy Policy. You can also manage advertising preferences with Meta. This disclosure describes the installed website tracking and supplements, without altering, the supplied draft and original PDF below.
1. Who we are
G M Clothing Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales, company number 14717606, with its registered office at 102 Lichfield Street, Tamworth, England, B79 7QB. We are the "controller" of the personal data described in this policy, which means we decide how and why it is used.

This policy explains how we handle your personal data under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and applies to customers in the UK, Europe and the United States.
2. What data we collect
Order and account details: name, delivery and billing address, email address, phone number (if provided), and order history. Payment details: payment is handled by our payment provider.

Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected through cookies and similar technologies (see section 8). Marketing preferences: whether you have chosen to receive marketing emails. [Delete if you do not send marketing.]

We share data only where needed, with:

Website, hosting and email providers gmclothing.co.uk, who store data and send order emails on our behalf. Accountants and professional advisers, for bookkeeping and legal compliance. Authorities such as HMRC, law enforcement or regulators, where we are legally required to.
These providers may only use your data to provide their services to us and must protect it.
5. International transfers
Because we sell to Europe and the United States, and some of our providers are based outside the UK, your data may be transferred internationally. Where this happens we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum, or standard contractual clauses.
6. How long we keep your data
Order and accounting records: 6 years from the end of the financial year, to meet tax and company law requirements. Emails and customer service records: 2 years after our last contact. Marketing preferences: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent. Technical and cookie data: as stated in our cookie policy.
When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Essential cookies are needed for the site to work, for example to remember your basket and process orders. We use non-essential cookies, such as analytics or advertising cookies, only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, though blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working.
9. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including secure payment processing and access controls. No online system is completely secure, so please take care with your own account details.

Our site is not aimed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has given us personal data, please email us and we will delete it.
11. Links to other sites
Our website may link to other sites, such as carrier tracking pages. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies.
