Privacy & Cookie Policy

Aevum Ltd ("Aevum", "we", "us") is registered in England & Wales and operates the website aevuum.co.uk. We are the data controller for the personal data collected through this website. You can contact us about this policy at any time via the details in our footer.

When you use our website we may collect:

• Contact and order details you provide at checkout (name, email, delivery address).
• Payment information, processed securely by our payment provider (Stripe). We never store full card numbers.
• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device and pages visited.
• Cookie and consent preferences you set on our cookie banner.

• To process and deliver your orders and handle returns or warranty claims.
• To respond to your enquiries and provide customer support.
• To send marketing emails only where you have opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time).
• To measure site performance and advertising effectiveness — only where you have given cookie consent.
• To meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We group them as follows:

• Strictly necessary — required for the cart, checkout and security. These cannot be switched off.
• Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g. Google Analytics). Set only with your consent.
• Advertising — used to measure and personalise ads (e.g. Google Ads). Set only with your consent.

We honour Google Consent Mode: advertising and analytics cookies stay off until you press "Accept" on our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's site data and reloading the page.

You have the right to:

• Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct or delete your data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing, including marketing.
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting prior processing.
• Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

We keep order records for as long as required by UK tax law (typically 6 years) and delete or anonymise other data when it is no longer needed. Data is stored with reputable providers using encryption in transit and at rest.

We share data only with the providers needed to run the shop — our payment processor (Stripe), delivery couriers, and, with your consent, analytics and advertising platforms such as Google. We never sell your personal data.

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version is always published on this page with its revision date.
