Here at Watson & Wilde, your privacy is important to us and we want to make sure your personal data is protected at all times. Our Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from watsonandwilde.com.

Personal information we collect:

When you visit Watson & Wilde, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

- “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers , email address, and phone number). We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

By using our website, you (the visitor) agree to allow third parties to process your IP address, in order to determine your location for the purpose of currency conversion. You also agree to have that currency stored in a session cookie in your browser (a temporary cookie which gets automatically removed when you close your browser). We do this in order for the selected currency to remain selected and consistent when browsing our website so that the prices can convert to your (the visitor) local currency.

How do we use your Personal Information?

We use the Order Information that we collect to fulfil any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations).

Additionally, we use this Order Information (of those who have opted into marketing) to provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services. This could include communicating exclusives, updates, offers or other information we feel you might find interesting. We also use Order Information to screen our orders for potential risk or fraud. You can stop the above at any time by contacting us at info@watsonandwilde.com or by clicking unsubscribe at the bottom of our marketing emails. Please allow 2 working days for this to be processed if contacting us directly via email.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimise our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns). 

One of the ways we will keep you up to date with Watson & Wilde is using retargeting. You will come across this retargeting on other websites such as Google, Facebook and Instagram. By looking at the products you have viewed or purchased on our website, we aim to target you with products we feel would be of interest to you.

Our website uses cookies to help keep track of items you put into your shopping cart including when you have abandoned your cart and this information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages via SMS.
