Who we are

Famica Market Ltd (‘the market’, ‘we’) operates this website and the market-weekend events. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and the rights you have over it under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. Company details are published on the about page; our Data Protection contact is the same address as the contact page.

What we collect and why

Orders: when you buy, we collect your name, delivery address, contact details and order contents to fulfil the order. Payment is by bank transfer or on collection — we do not receive or store card details. Where a seller fulfils part of your order, we pass them exactly the data they need to post your parcel (name, address, order contents) and nothing else.

Seller and maker enquiries: messages you send to sellers through their pages are relayed to that seller and stored for dispute-resolution purposes. Newsletter and journal subscriptions store your email address until you unsubscribe. Basic, anonymised analytics measure page views so we know which listings and journal pieces earn their place.

Cookies

The market runs on strictly necessary cookies and local storage only: your basket contents and your cookie-choice record. No advertising, no cross-site tracking, no social media pixels. Your consent choice is stored locally and can be changed at any time via the ‘Cookie settings’ link in the footer. Full detail is on the cookie policy page.

Your rights

You can request a copy of your data, correct it, ask us to delete it, or object to a use of it, by writing to the contact page address. We respond within one month. If you have a complaint about how we handle your data you may escalate it to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk). Orders must be retained for six years for tax purposes; everything else is deleted on request.
