Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Hello! 👋

At Tots N Tales we take your privacy seriously — and we keep things simple and honest, just like everything else we do. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit totsntales.shop, how we use it, and your rights around it.

​

1. Who we are

Tots N Tales is a UK-based baby and toddler clothing, accessories, and toys store founded by Aaron Meikle. We are a dropshipping store — meaning products are fulfilled and shipped directly to you by our trusted supplier partners.

4. Cookies 🍪

We use cookies to make your shopping experience better and to understand how people use our site. The types of cookies we use:

• Essential cookies — needed for basic site functions like your shopping cart and checkout

• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it

• Marketing cookies — used to show you relevant ads on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Google

​

You can manage or turn off cookies through your browser settings at any time. Turning off essential cookies may affect your ability to shop on our site.

​

5. Who we share your information with

We never sell your personal data. We only share it where necessary with:

• Payment processors — to handle your payment securely (e.g. Stripe, PayPal)

• Supplier partners — your name and delivery address only, so they can pack and ship your order

• Shipping carriers — to deliver your order and provide tracking

• Email marketing platforms — only if you have signed up to hear from us

• Analytics tools — such as Google Analytics to help us improve our website

• Advertising platforms — Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, and Google if you have consented to marketing cookies

​

All partners handle your data securely and only use it for the specific purpose we share it for.

6. Keeping your data safe 🔒

Your security matters to us. Our website uses SSL encryption and all payments go through secure, PCI-compliant providers. We never see or store your full card details.

That said no online system is 100% guaranteed — but we take every reasonable step to protect your information.

​

7. How long we keep your data

We keep your personal information for as long as we need to in order to run our store and meet legal requirements. Order records are typically kept for up to 7 years. You can ask us to delete your data at any time — see Section 8.

​

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

• See the personal data we hold about you

• Correct any information that is wrong or out of date

• Delete your personal data — just ask and we will sort it

• Opt out of marketing emails at any time

• Object to how we use your data in certain circumstances

​

To exercise any of these rights just email us at meikle83@hotmail.com with the subject line "Privacy Request" and we will respond within 30 days. 💛

If you are not happy with how we handle your data you can also contact the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or call 0303 123 1113.

9. Children's privacy 👶

Our website is for adults to shop for babies and toddlers — it is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If you think a child has submitted their details to us please email meikle83@hotmail.com and we will delete it right away.

​

12. International data transfers

As a dropshipping store some data may be processed outside the UK by our supplier and service partners. Where this happens we make sure appropriate protections are in place in line with UK GDPR.
