Some of the service providers we use (such as Shopify, Google, and Meta) are based outside the UK, primarily in the United States or the European Union.
Where we transfer personal information outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place. This includes:
You can request a copy of the safeguards we have in place by emailing support@kubbi.co.uk.
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this policy and to comply with our legal obligations.
Order records. Retained for 6 years after the order is completed, in line with HMRC and Companies Act requirements.
Customer service records. Retained for up to 5 years.
Marketing data. If you are subscribed to our marketing communications, we retain your preferences until you withdraw consent or unsubscribe. We may keep a suppression record indefinitely to ensure we do not contact you again.
Warranty claim records. Retained for the duration of your warranty period plus 6 years, to enable us to handle any related disputes or product safety matters.
Website analytics. Anonymised or aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely. Identifiable analytics data is typically retained for up to 26 months.
When personal information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
You have the following rights in relation to your personal information:
Right of access. The right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Right to rectification. The right to ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete information.
Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"). The right to ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances.

We use cookies and similar technologies on our website. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function correctly and provide a better user experience.
We use the following categories of cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for the website to function (for example, keeping items in your basket and processing your order). They cannot be turned off.
Performance and analytics cookies. These help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it. Set only with your consent.
Marketing and advertising cookies. These help us show you relevant ads on other websites and measure ad performance. Set only with your consent.
You can manage your cookie preferences via the cookie banner that appears on your first visit, or by adjusting your browser settings. Note that disabling some cookies may affect how the website functions.
If you have bought a product from us or signed up to our newsletter, we may send you marketing emails about our products, sales, and new launches.
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any marketing email, or by emailing support@kubbi.co.uk.
Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not stop you receiving transactional emails (order confirmations, dispatch notifications, warranty claim updates) — these are necessary for us to fulfil your order.
Although our products are designed for children, our website and services are intended for use by adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact support@kubbi.co.uk and we will delete it promptly.
We take the security of your personal information seriously. We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including:
No system is 100% secure. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours where required by law.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the services we offer, or the law. The "last updated" date at the bottom of this page will show when it was most recently changed.
Significant changes will be communicated to you by email or via a notice on our website. Please review this policy periodically.
If you have any concerns about how we handle your personal information, please contact us first at support@kubbi.co.uk so we can try to resolve the issue.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent authority on data protection:
