General
At Healing Feeling, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of visitors to our website. We do not sell, rent or trade email lists with other third parties for marketing purposes. Here you’ll find information on how we treat data that we collect from visitors to our website, or when someone subscribes to our newsletter.
Purpose of this Privacy Notice
This notice is designed to help you understand what kind of information we collect in connection with our products and services and how we will process and use this information. In the course of providing you with products and services we will collect and process information that is commonly known as personal data.
This notice describes how we collect, use, share, retain and safeguard personal data.
This notice sets out your individual rights; we explain these later in the notice but in summary these rights include your right to know what data is held about you, how this data is processed and how you can place restrictions on the use of your data.
If you are not happy with any aspect of how we collect and use your data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We should be grateful if you would contact us first if you do have a complaint so that we can try to resolve it for you.
It is very important that the information we hold about you is accurate and up to date. Please let us know if at any time your personal information changes by emailing us at admin@healing-feeling.com.
Personal Data that we collect and how we use it

We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsletter.

You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails.

Analytics

Change of purpose
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

Website Function Cookies
Our own cookies
We use cookies to make our website work including:
- Making our shopping basket and checkout work

- YouTube – Privacy Policy powers the videos on our site
Disabling these cookies will likely break the functions offered by these third parties

- Twitter – Privacy Policy
The privacy implications on this will vary from social network to social network and will be dependent on the privacy settings you have chosen on these networks.
Anonymous Visitor Statistics Cookies
We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn’t working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. These so called “analytics” programs also tell us, on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to put more money into developing our services for you instead of marketing spend. We use Google Analytics.
Turning Cookies Off
You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies (Learn how here). Doing so however will likely limit the functionality of our’s and a large proportion of the world’s websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites.
It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so called “spyware”. Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive. Learn more about managing cookies with antispyware software.
