The following privacy policy explains in detail the types of information we collect, how we may use it and the procedures we have in place to make sure that it is kept safe and secure.

We use this information to process and fulfil your order. Information of this nature will only ever be used for marketing purposes if you have previously given us your consent to do so.

When you visit the Curvy Kate website we collect some information related to your visit.  This information includes your IP (Internet Protocol) address, browser type, device type and other related information if you choose to share it with us such as location data and how you use our website (eg; average time on the site). 

We use this information to monitor and improve our website so that we can give you the best possible shopping experience.

If you have previously given us consent to do so, from time to time we will send you marketing messages by email, SMS or post in order to keep you up to date on all the latest offers, promotions, sales and latest arrivals at Curvy Kate.

You can of course opt out of all marketing communications at any point should you wish to do so. All of our email marketing messages include an unsubscribe option which is clearly marked. 

Or you can also contact our customer services team and request to unsubscribe. Customer services can be contacted here. Once you have unsubscribed from marketing communications you will no longer receive any further marketing messages from us. If contacting us via email or phone with an unsubscribe request, please be aware that it may take a few days for the request to be processed depending on how busy we are. You may therefore receive a marketing message from us whilst your request is being processed.

If you have opted out of receiving marketing messages, you will still receive notifications from us regarding service. This will include order and delivery updates or any communications around the status of your order.

Third Party Providers - Privacy Policies

Security and Fraud Prevention

We would like to reassure you that all online transactions are completely secure because all credit and debit card details that you send o us are encrypted and sent across a secure connection.

There will be a security icon in the bottom right hand corner of your browser to signify you are in secure mode - this is usually depicted as either a padlock or key symbol. Another check is that during payment, the address at the top of the browser will begin https:// rather than https://.

Where a password is required to access certain areas of our website including logging on to your account, you are responsible for keeping your password secure and confidential. Please do not share or disclose your password with any other person.

In order to protect against the fraudulent use of credit cards, we may carry our security checks on orders. This may require us to contact you by telephone before your order is processed and dispatched.  We may require you to confirm information provided on your order such as billing name and address and card issuer details.  This is required sometimes as a necessary precaution in the interests of fraud prevention. If you have any concerns about this or regarding security in general, please contact our customer services team here.
