PRIVACY POLICY
We urge you to read this privacy notice carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat them. This notice applies to individuals who choose to interact with The Milma (hereafter referred to as Milma Online) as individual consumers. It explains how your personal data are collected, used, and disclosed by Milma.
This notice encompasses all possible data-collection activities, including those that we gather through our website, points of sale, and events that we participate in. We would like you to note that if you do not provide the necessary personal data to us, we may not be able to provide you with our goods.
Sources of personal data
This notice applies to personal data that we collect from you, or about you, from the following sources:
- Milma’s official website or social media platforms.
- E-mail interactions between you and Milma.
- Offline registration forms: These could be printed or digital forms that we collect through promotions or events.
What do we do with the information you provide us with?
We use the information to respond to your queries. Typically, the information includes:
- Your name
- Your address
- Your phone number
- Your e-mail address
- Your feedback, could be a compliment, query, or complaint. It could specifically include details of a product you have bought from us.
We steadfastly use your personal information only internally, for the purpose of responding to your queries, with the objective of improving our service. For example, if you write to us with a complaint or question, we will use the information you give us to investigate and get back to you with our findings. We also keep a record of complaints and queries we receive, to monitor trends and continuously improve. We never share any identifiable information – for example, name or contact details – with a third party without your consent; however, we may need to share the contents of your message with a third party. For example, if your complaint is related to a problem with one of our suppliers, we might share the content of your message with them, so they can understand the problem and help us resolve it.
We appreciate it when you write to us to tell us how much you like our products, and we like to share that information with the team involved in making them, so if you write to us with a compliment, that information will be shared internally with members of staff at Milma. Your comments may also be used on our website. In this case, we would only share the content of your message and never any identifiable information. If you would prefer us not to do so, please let us know by writing to info@milmaonline.com
