In this policy, the terms “HD Iceburg”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the business operating this website. The terms “you” and “your” refer to visitors, customers and account holders who use our website or services.
By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. Where consent is required by law, we will ask for your permission before processing your information.

How we use your information
We use your personal information only where there is a valid reason to do so. This may include the following purposes:
- To process, confirm, deliver, manage and refund your orders.
- To create and manage your customer account.
- To communicate with you about orders, deliveries, returns, refunds and customer support requests.
- To provide personalised product recommendations and improve your shopping experience.

- To comply with tax, accounting, legal and regulatory obligations.

We will not use your personal information for purposes that are incompatible with those described in this policy unless we have a lawful reason or obtain your consent.
Legal basis for processing
Where UK data protection law applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
Performance of a contract
Processing your information to complete an order, deliver products or provide requested services.
Legitimate interests
Operating and improving our website, preventing fraud and providing effective customer service.
Legal obligation
Keeping appropriate transaction records and complying with applicable laws and official requests.
Consent
Sending optional marketing communications or using non-essential cookies where consent is required.
Payments and transactions
Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. When you enter payment details during checkout, those details may be collected directly by the payment provider rather than stored by HD Iceburg.
We may receive limited transaction information, such as payment status, transaction reference, card type and the last digits of the payment method. We do not normally receive or store your complete card number or security code.
Payment providers process your information under their own privacy policies and security standards.
International data transfers
Some service providers may process or store information outside the United Kingdom. Data protection laws in those countries may differ from UK laws.
Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as adequacy regulations, approved contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
How long we retain your data
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, tax, fraud prevention and customer support requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected. For example, order and transaction records may be kept for longer where required for accounting, tax or legal purposes.
When information is no longer needed, we will delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it.
How we protect your information
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
- Secure website connections and encryption where appropriate.
- Restricted access to personal information based on business need.
- Secure hosting, monitoring and vulnerability management.
- Appropriate authentication and account security controls.
- Vendor assessment and confidentiality obligations.
- Procedures for responding to suspected data security incidents.
No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use a strong, unique password and avoid sharing your account credentials with anyone.
Your privacy rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the following rights:
- The right to request access to personal information we hold about you.
- The right to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- The right to request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances.
- The right to restrict or object to certain processing activities.
- The right to receive certain information in a portable format.
- The right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
- The right to object to direct marketing communications.
- The right to complain to the relevant data protection authority.
To protect your privacy, we may need to confirm your identity before responding to a request. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.
UK residents may also raise concerns with the Information Commissioner's Office. We encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve the issue.
Marketing communications
We may send you promotional emails about products, offers and updates where you have opted in or where permitted by law.
You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in a marketing email or by contacting us. Unsubscribing from marketing will not stop essential service messages relating to your account, orders, payments, deliveries, returns or security.
Third-party websites and services
Our website may include links to third-party websites, platforms or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of those third parties.
We recommend reading the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.
Children's privacy
Our website and products are not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate permission, please contact us so that we can investigate and delete the information where necessary.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements or business practices.
The latest version will always be published on this page. We will update the “Last updated” date and may provide an additional notice where a change is significant.
