MAILING LISTS

If you sign up to Wee Thistles regular e-newsletter, when making a purchase through the online shop I will collect personal information as part of the registration process. Wee Thistle uses that information: to tell you about anything you’ve asked us to tell you about (like sales, blog posts or events you can find Wee Thistle at); to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information (like to let you know we’ve shipped your order or if there are any reasons your order might be delayed); to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

I gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry-standard technologies to help me monitor and improve Wee Thistle’s e-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 newsletters or by emailing me at:
