Financial Information

Tommie Copper may require billing and payment information such as credit and debit card information when you create your account. However, all payment transactions entered into on the Tommie Copper Website are processed by third party payment processors, including Braintree Payments, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay and Affirm (each individually a "payment processor"). At checkout, you will provide your payment information to the payment processor, and that payment processor's Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions of Use will govern use and disclosure of that information. We encourage you to read carefully the payment processor's Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions of Use which can be accessed from its website. Tommie Copper does not use or store your financial information.

Non-personal identification information

We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Website. Non-personal identification information may include, but is not limited to, demographic information, precise location information from GPS, cell tower proximity, browser information, type of computer and technical information about Users' means of connection to our Website, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information. This non-personal information is aggregated by using certain tools and mechanisms such as the use of cookies and web beacons, including pixels and GIFs, or collection of IP addresses and is kept and used in aggregate form, unless stated otherwise.

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from users under 18. Please see our Terms of Use https://www.tommiecopper.com/terms-of-use/.

Web browser cookies and Web beacons

Our Website may use "cookies" to enhance User experience. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to or access from your computer or device through your web browser for record-keeping purposes, to track information about you, and to enable and improve the accessibility and functionality of the Website. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Website, while others allow us to track your activities at our Website.

User's web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. User may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the Website may not function properly.

In addition, our Website may use web beacons, also known as pixel tags, web bugs, or GIFs. A web beacon is a tiny graphic image of one pixel that can be delivered to your computer; pixels can be used to retrieve information from your device, like your device type or operating system or IP address and time of visit. They are also used to serve and read cookies in your browser.

We may also allow third-party advertising companies to target and show you advertisements when you visit the Website. These third-party advertisers may send "cookies" to your computer or other device to gather information about your preferences to provide you with advertising that is more likely to relate to your interests. On occasion, Tommie Copper may permit third-party advertisers and ad networks to place their own cookies on our Website to track Users' activities on the Website. This enables such companies to recognize Users so that when those Users visit a third-party's website, advertising can be delivered that is tailored to the visitor's individual interests (whether for Tommie Copper's Products or for the Products or services of others), based on what has been learned from the Users' activity on our Website or elsewhere. This practice is called "interest-based advertising," and the practices of these third-parties are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Tommie Copper offers you choices about the collection of information on our Website. Tommie Copper adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance's Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising. If you decide you do not want to receive personalized ads from third-party advertisers and ad networks please visit www.AboutAds.info/choices, where you can learn more about opting out from receiving interest-based advertising. You can also learn more about your opt-out choices by visiting www.networkadvertising.org. Please be aware that opt-out tools are device and browser specific, so you must repeat any opt-outs you select for each of your browsers and devices.

Tommie Copper uses cookies to collect information around abandoned shopping carts. A cart is considered abandoned after one hour of inactivity/lack of purchase. Once the timer has expired an email message will be sent as a reminder.

Do Not Track Signals

Certain web browsers provide users with an option by which you may have your browser send a "Do Not Track" signal to websites that you are visiting, advising the recipient websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. However, the way browsers communicate such "Do Not Track" signals are not yet uniform and, accordingly, our Website does not take any action in response to such signals. In the event a final standard is developed and accepted, we may reassess how we should respond to such signals.
