When you place an order, we may ask you to submit certain personal data to yiddishtwistorchestra.com such as your name, phone number, address, email address, contact and payment card details. By making an order and submitting your data, you agree to this information being used.

The personal information which we hold will be held securely in accordance with our internal security policy and the law.

We may also use technology to track the traffic patterns and behaviour of visitors to our site, record which products you are interested in and also which products you purchase. This can include using a “cookie” which would be stored on your browser (see section ‘What are cookies?’). You can usually modify your browser to prevent this happening. The information collected in this way can be used to identify you unless you modify your browser settings. This information will be kept securely in accordance with our internal security policy and may be used to improve our site functionality and create a more personal shopping experience.

What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small information file that is sent to your computer and is stored on your hard drive. They can’t read other information saved on your hard drive – they only contain and transfer to the website as much information as the users themselves have disclosed. If you have created an account on yiddishtwistorchestra.com then your computer will store an identifying cookie which will save you time each time you visit our site by remembering your email address. You can change the settings on your browser at any time to prevent cookies being stored on your computer without your explicit consent, but please take note that this will limit the amount of functions you can use on yiddishtwistorchestra.com.

Cookies are used to track visitors’ interest in our products which enables us to understand what most appeals to our customers so we can customise our offers as much as possible. Browsing behaviour is also used to create relevant banner advertising with product recommendations that we believe correlate to the items you viewed on our website. You will probably see these banners appear on other websites that you visit. This is called behavioural advertising. The adverts will be specifically tailored to each visitor but all cookie data is anonymous and only stored temporarily. For information on how to opt out of this type of advertising, click the ‘i’ icon on the display banner.

How secure is the information we store?
It is very important to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer. If you visit yiddishtwistorchestra.com using a shared computer, please do not use the browser function to remember your password and also remember to sign out of your account when you have finished your session. To sign out of yiddishtwistorchestra.com, click ‘Log out’ beside ‘Your name’ at the top of the page.

Your payment details are not stored on yiddishtwistorchestra.com. Each time you make a purchase, you will have to re-enter your credit or debit card details to complete your order. When confirming an order, we will NEVER print your card details on your invoice to protect your personal security. Payments are processed by PayPal as an extra method to prevent cards being used fraudulently.

How can you check the details we store?
If you wish to verify the details you have submitted to yiddishtwistorchestra.com you may do so by contacting us via the details given below. We may request proof of identity before we reveal information which will be your email address and password that you submitted upon registration. It is therefore vital that you keep this information safe as you will be responsible for any action which we take in response to a request from someone using your email and password. We would strongly suggest that you do not use your browser’s password memory function as that would allow other people using the same computer access to your personal information.
