Privacy Policy
What’s this about?
This page explains what types of personal data we may collect from you when you visit our site or buy from us. It also explains how we will handle and store your data.
This privacy policy will be updated from time to time, it was last reviewed January 2021.
In this document, when we say “we” or “us” that is referring to the business “Little Green Frog”.
Personal data can mean things such as your name, address, email address, IP address, and any activity on our website. Some of these will be things you provide when you interact with us (name, address etc.) others may be collected automatically (IP address, browser type etc.).
Why are you collecting any personal data?
In order to provide you with a great service we will occasionally need some personal data.
This may be in the form of your email address if you join a newsletter we offer or ask to be notified about a product, or your online name if you connect with us on social media. If you place an order with us, we will need certain personal information such as your name, address and telephone number in order to fulfil our contractual obligations.
If the law requires us to, we may also need to collect and process data, for example if the police asked us for information relating to fraud or other criminal activity.
In certain circumstances we may collect your data in other ways which may reasonably be expected as part of running our business, and which does not impact on your rights, freedom, or interests.
When and what data will you collect?
When you visit our website we may collect information gathered by cookies in your browser. This may give us details of your visit, where you came from (e.g. if you clicked a link elsewhere to end up on our website), what you looked at, or what you searched for.
When you make a purchase with us we may collect your name, contact details, gender, date of birth, billing and delivery addresses, order details and receipts. When you place an order with us over the phone we will also take your payment details solely in order to process your payment.

When you give a third party permission to share information they hold about you with us.
How do you use my data?
We only use your data to provide you with services and to improve our business. This may be in the form of:
- Processing your order, including payment and shipping. This may include sharing limited amounts of your data with third parties such as the delivery service or payment portal. Without doing this we would be unable to fulfil your order.
- When processing payments, some of your data will be passed to PayPal, including information required to process or support the payment, such as the purchase total and billing information. Please see the PayPal Privacy Policy for more details.

How do you protect my data that you hold?
We secure all parts of our website that handle personal data with https technology. You can check this by making sure there is a padlock in the address bar at the top of your browser.
Access to your personal data is password protected.
We only retain data for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. At the end of this period your data will be deleted/destroyed, or anonymised so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for business data analysis.
Who do you share my data with?
We may occasionally share limited portions of your data with trusted third parties. The main examples of this are that we must share your address with our delivery courier (usually Royal Mail) in order to send your order to you.
When we do this, we only share the data necessary for them to perform their service and they may only use your data for the exact purposes we specify in our contract with them.
We may also be required to share your data with the police, or other enforcement or regulatory bodies for the purposes of fraud/illegal activity prevention and/or upon receipt of a valid request to do so.

You have the right at any time to request access to any data we hold on you.
You can request that we correct any personal data that we hold that is incorrect.
You can request that we stop using your personal data for direct marketing.
Where you have given your consent for us to hold your personal data, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
You can request that we delete or remove any of your data when there is no longer any reason for us to continue holding it.
Where we are processing your personal data on the basis of legitimate business interest (such as information regarding your visit to our website), you can ask us to stop.
