oomtoo only keeps information required to complete customers orders, i.e. Name, Address, Telephone no. email address.
I am a one person business about me and in the entire time I have been trading on the internet, since 1993 ! I have never knowingly indulged in third party advertising, or made information available to those who may.
Analytics
oomtoo uses google analytics.
Additionally a security app logs those visiting the site. Note it can only identifies users if they are logged in ! This tracking is useful for troubleshooting if a user, or potential user is having issues. It also helps me protect my site from unwelcome visitors. oomtoo.com
Data is deleted on a rolling basis of 2000 visits. Generally oomtoo is visited by a search engine, user, or browser about once every 10 to 15 seconds. So any record is deleted within 12 hours.
Cookies

Shipping cart calculator
When you enter information into the shipping cart calculator, that information is stored temporarily so that you can see how much you are likely to pay for postage for your particular region. This information is not retained by oomtoo, but store in a cookie in your browser.
Your data needs to be shared !
There are two third parties who are able to share information about your purchases. The payment gateways PayPal and Stripe. This is essential to complete payments and complete orders.
Additionally if your order is sent by courier, then your contact details will be shared with them for obvious reasons.
Comments

WordPress and woocommerce and also based in the United States
How I protect your data
oomtoo uses SSL technology to verify its authenticity, look for the padlock !
Administration login is protected by 2FA
Because I am a one person business, it is easy to guard against internal data breaches.
I made a decision very early on for my online businesses that I would never store any financial information, credit card or PayPal, and this ensures that only very secure companies such as stripe and PayPal store this information on my behalf.
What third parties we receive data from
I have always been very wary about information and the internet, and other than the bare minimum required to complete orders and operate the site effectively.
Any issues
get in touch and I will investigate asap !
