5. Our lawful bases for using your information
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful reason for using your personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:
Contract – where processing is necessary to take an order, process payment, deliver a product or otherwise fulfil our agreement with you.
Legal obligation – where we need to retain or use information to comply with legal, tax, accounting or regulatory requirements.
Legitimate interests – where it is reasonably necessary for operating and improving VeloKick, providing customer service, protecting our website, preventing fraud or managing our business, provided those interests do not override your rights.
Consent – where you have actively agreed to something, such as receiving certain marketing communications or allowing non-essential cookies. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
6. Marketing communications
We may send you marketing emails where you have actively chosen to receive them or where otherwise permitted by law.
You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe option in a marketing email or by contacting us at nick@velokick.com.
Unsubscribing from marketing will not prevent us from contacting you about an existing order or another service-related matter.
7. How your information is stored
Our website and online store are hosted using the Wix.com platform.
Wix provides the technology that enables us to operate our website, online store and associated services. Information submitted through the website may therefore be stored or processed through Wix systems and applications.
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
8. Payments
Payments made through our website may be processed using Wix Payments or other payment providers made available through our website.
Payment providers may collect and process information necessary to authorise and complete your transaction.
VeloKick does not normally store your full debit or credit card number.

We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information where necessary with trusted organisations that help us operate our business, including:
-
Wix and website-hosting providers;
-
payment-processing providers;
-
delivery and postal providers;
-
email and communication providers;
-
analytics and website-performance providers;
-
professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers;
-
government, regulatory or law-enforcement bodies where we are legally required to do so.
We only share information where reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
10. International data transfers
Some of the service providers we use may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we expect our service providers to use appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable data protection law.
11. How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to meet legal, accounting and tax requirements.
Different information may be retained for different periods.
For example:
-
order and transaction records may be retained where required for accounting, tax or legal purposes;
-
correspondence may be kept for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with an enquiry or dispute;
-
marketing information may be retained until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove it, subject to any information we need to retain to record your preference.
When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete or securely dispose of it.
12. Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.
Some cookies are necessary for the website and online store to function correctly. Others may help us understand how visitors use the site, improve performance or support marketing.
Where required, non-essential cookies will only be used after you have made your choice through our cookie-consent controls.
You can change your cookie preferences through the cookie settings available on our website or through your browser settings.
Further information may also be provided in our Cookie Policy or cookie banner.
13. Children’s privacy
The VeloKick Football Companion is designed for young players, but our website and online store are primarily intended to be used by parents, guardians and other adults purchasing or enquiring about our products.
We do not knowingly seek to collect unnecessary personal information directly from children.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us at nick@velokick.com.
