Your privacy is fundamental to us. At Villa Brazil Meat Market, we follow clear principles: we are careful with the personal information we ask for, we store it only for as long as we have a reason to keep it, and we seek full transparency in how we collect and use your data.
Who We Are and What This Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy applies to the information we collect about you when you use our website (villabrazilmeatmarket.com) and our e-commerce services. This policy is designed to comply with the UK GDPR and UK data protection laws.
Information We Collect
We collect information in three ways: when you provide it to us, automatically through our website, and from partner sources.
Information You Provide to Us:
- Account and Order Data: Name, email, shipping address, and phone number to process your purchases.
-
Payment Information: Processed via
Stripe. We do not store your credit card details on our servers; they are securely managed by the payment processor. - Communications: If you contact us for support, we keep a copy of that conversation to assist with future inquiries.
Information Collected Automatically:
- Server Logs: Browser type, IP address, and date/time of access for security and diagnostic purposes.
- Usage Information: Through WooCommerce and Google Analytics, we track basic interactions (such as viewed products and items in the cart) to improve the store experience.
How and Why We Use Information
We use your data based on the following legal grounds:
- Contractual Necessity: To ship your products and process payments.
- Legitimate Interest: To protect our store against fraud (via Wordfence/Stripe Radar) and improve our products.
- Legal Obligation: To maintain tax and accounting records as required by UK authorities.
Information Sharing
We do not sell your data. We share information only with essential partners:

- Analytics Tools (Google): To understand website performance.
- Security Services: To block malicious attacks and unauthorized login attempts.
How Long We Keep Information
We generally discard information when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which we collect it. For example, we retain order data for up to 7 years to comply with UK tax obligations (HMRC).
Security
While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect your information against unauthorized access. We constantly monitor our website for vulnerabilities.
