Payments & Service Providers
Our site is built and hosted on Wix, and we use trusted third-party services (like payment processors and email tools) to run the shop and website.
When you pay online, your payment details are handled securely by these providers. Thimbles & Tales does not store your full credit or debit card number.

Cookies & Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:
• Help the site function properly.
• Remember certain preferences.
• Understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
Where required, you may see options to manage non-essential cookies.

• Host and maintain the website.
• Process payments and orders.
• Send emails and manage our contact list.
• Meet legal or regulatory obligations.

Keeping Your Information Safe
We take reasonable steps to help protect personal information. Still, no website or online system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

Children’s Privacy
Our website and online shop are meant for adults. While we offer children’s books and creative products, they are intended to be purchased by parents, grandparents, caregivers, educators, and other adults.

Your Choices & Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, such as asking to see it, correct it, or delete it.
If you have a privacy-related request, please reach out using the contact details on our website.

Links to Other Sites
Our website may link to other sites, such as retailers or social media platforms. Their privacy practices are their own, so we encourage you to read their policies too.

Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll post the new version here with an updated “Last Updated” date.
