A note on health-related information
If you tell us about a coeliac diagnosis, allergy or intolerance, that is special category data under UK/EU GDPR and gets extra protection.

Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time by emailing [PRIVACY EMAIL]. Opting out of marketing will not stop transactional emails such as order confirmations and delivery updates.
5. Who we share your data with

- Standard Contractual Clauses (plus the UK International Data Transfer Addendum where relevant), together with a transfer risk assessment.
You can request a copy of the relevant safeguards by contacting us.
