When giving information to people who make and/or sell chocolate we will never give them your contact or email details, or any information that can identify you. You can opt-out of completing the sign up survey and/or the monthly surveys, and you will receive a standard, non-personalised subscription box.

  • Log-in details: You will need to provide a unique username and password in order to access your account on the website. Your actual password is never stored.
  • Social media profiles. We use this information to monitor the social media profile or our brand and to engage with the chocolate community, including customers, subscribers, producers, retailers and chocolate lovers.
  • Website data.

processes for the purposes of improving our service or conducting research.
