Legal & Privacy

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Modalerts.shop collects, uses, shares and handles personal information when you visit our website, place an order, contact customer support or receive order-related communications.

It covers customer and order information, payment-related communications, email and WhatsApp messages, third-party services, international data processing, cookies, information security and privacy rights.

The policy applies to website visitors and customers who interact with Modalerts.shop through its website and associated customer-service channels.

About This Privacy Policy

Modalerts.shop is an overseas-operated ecommerce website serving customers in the United Kingdom.

Personal information may be collected or processed at different stages of your interaction with the website, including when submitting an enquiry, placing or confirming an order, receiving payment guidance, obtaining delivery information or requesting customer support.

The information involved depends on how you use the website and which services or communication channels are relevant to your enquiry or order.

What Personal Information Do We Collect?

When you interact with Modalerts.shop, you may provide information necessary to administer an order, respond to an enquiry or provide customer support.

Depending on the interaction, this information may include:

  • Your name and email address.
  • Your delivery address.
  • Your mobile telephone number.
  • Order references and order details.
  • Product selections and quantities.
  • Information submitted through contact forms.
  • Messages exchanged through email or WhatsApp.
  • Delivery details and shipment tracking information.
  • Photographs or supporting information relating to damaged, missing or incorrect orders.

Not every category of information is collected during every interaction. A general website enquiry, for example, may require fewer details than a request concerning an existing order.

Customers should provide information relevant to their enquiry or order and avoid sharing unnecessary sensitive personal information.

Payment Information and Privacy

Modalerts.shop uses an order-confirmation process in which payment is not required during website checkout.

After an order is submitted, an order-confirmation email is sent to the customer. Once the customer confirms the order, payment guidance is provided through the established customer communication process.

Payment-related information may include order references, payment status, transaction correspondence and details needed to identify or acknowledge a payment.

Customers should follow the payment instructions associated with their particular order.

For privacy and security reasons, customers should not send the following information through ordinary email, WhatsApp or customer-support messages:

  • Complete payment-card numbers.
  • Card security codes (CVV).
  • Banking passwords or login credentials.
  • Authentication or verification codes.
  • Bank account numbers or account titles.
  • Website or account passwords.

Payment arrangements may involve third-party services. Relevant payment correspondence may be used for order administration, transaction identification, customer support and applicable record-keeping purposes.

How We Handle Order and Customer-Service Information

Order information helps Modalerts.shop identify customer purchases, maintain relevant transaction records and communicate with customers throughout the ordering process.

Depending on the circumstances, this information may be used to:

  • Confirm submitted orders and customer details.
  • Provide payment guidance following order confirmation.
  • Record and acknowledge payments.
  • Arrange order preparation and dispatch.
  • Provide shipment and tracking information.
  • Respond to payment or delivery enquiries.
  • Review cancellations, returns and refunds.
  • Investigate missing, damaged or incorrect orders.
  • Provide general customer-service assistance.

Relevant order references and previous correspondence may help customer support understand the history of an enquiry and provide a consistent response.

Email Communications

Email is an established communication channel for Modalerts.shop orders and customer-service enquiries.

After an order is submitted, an order-confirmation email is sent to the address provided by the customer. Once the customer confirms the order, subsequent communications may include payment guidance, a thank-you or payment-acknowledgement email, dispatch notifications and shipment tracking information.

Email may also be used to respond to customer enquiries concerning payment, delivery, cancellations, returns and refunds.

These messages support order administration and customer service. Transactional communications are distinct from promotional or marketing messages.

Customers should provide an accurate email address to ensure relevant communications can reach them.

WhatsApp Communications

WhatsApp may be used as a supplementary communication channel during the Modalerts.shop ordering process.

Where a customer provides a mobile number available on WhatsApp, the order-confirmation message sent by email may also be communicated through WhatsApp. Payment acknowledgements may likewise be sent through this channel where available.

WhatsApp is not required to place an order through the website. Email remains an established channel for order confirmation and customer-service correspondence.

WhatsApp is operated by a third-party service provider. When this communication channel is used, relevant contact information and message content may be handled through the provider’s services and according to its applicable privacy practices.

Contact Forms and Customer Enquiries

Customers can contact Modalerts.shop through the Contact Us page for general website questions or assistance with an existing order.

Depending on the enquiry, the information submitted may include:

  • Name and email address.
  • An optional order reference.
  • The type of enquiry.
  • A message describing the request.
  • Relevant delivery information or supporting photographs, where required.

This information helps the customer-support team identify the request and provide an appropriate response.

Customers should avoid submitting passwords, banking credentials, payment-card security codes, authentication information or unnecessary sensitive medical information through contact forms or ordinary support communications.

How We Use Personal Information

Personal information may be used for purposes connected with website operation, order administration and customer service.

These purposes include processing customer orders, confirming order details, communicating payment guidance, acknowledging payments, organising dispatch and delivery, providing tracking information and responding to support enquiries.

Information may also be used to review cancellations, returns, refunds and disputes, maintain relevant business records, support website functionality and security, and address applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

The categories of information involved depend on the particular activity and the services required.

Third-Party Services and Information Sharing

Certain website functions and customer-service activities may involve third-party service providers.

Depending on the services used, these may include providers responsible for:

  • Website hosting and technical operation.
  • Email delivery and communications.
  • WhatsApp messaging.
  • Payment-related services.
  • Shipping and delivery.
  • Shipment tracking.
  • Website maintenance and functionality.
  • Analytics or similar website technologies, where applicable.

Relevant personal information may be handled by or shared with a service provider where necessary for the service involved.

For example, delivery administration may require a recipient’s name and address, while email communications require appropriate contact details.

Third-party providers may operate under their own privacy notices and data-handling arrangements. The information involved depends on the provider’s role and the particular service being delivered.

International Data Processing

Modalerts.shop operates from outside the United Kingdom while serving UK customers.

Personal information relating to website activity, ordering, customer communications and support may therefore be processed or accessed outside the UK.

International data processing may also occur where third-party service providers operate in different countries or use systems located outside the United Kingdom.

The locations and arrangements involved depend on the services used. Where relevant, international processing and transfers are subject to applicable data-protection requirements.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Modalerts.shop may use cookies or similar technologies to support website operation and functionality.

Depending on the website configuration, these technologies may support essential website features, remember preferences or provide information about website performance and usage.

Certain technologies may involve third-party services.

Further information about cookies, their purposes and available privacy choices is provided in the separate Cookie Policy.

How Long We Keep Personal Information

Personal information may be retained for different periods depending on its purpose and any applicable record-keeping or legal requirements.

Relevant purposes may include:

  • Completing and administering orders.
  • Maintaining transaction records.
  • Responding to customer-support enquiries.
  • Handling payment or delivery disputes.
  • Reviewing cancellations, returns and refunds.
  • Meeting applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

Different categories of personal information may have different retention requirements.

Information that is no longer necessary for an applicable purpose should not be retained without an appropriate justification under relevant data-protection requirements.

How We Protect Personal Information

Modalerts.shop aims to apply reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the personal information handled through its website and customer-service processes.

The measures relevant to particular information may depend on the systems, communication channels and third-party services involved.

Customers can help reduce unnecessary exposure of personal information by avoiding the submission of passwords, payment credentials and unrelated sensitive details through ordinary communication channels.

No internet-based website, electronic communication service or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
