Last updated: 29th September 2026

This policy explains how Darlish collects and uses your personal information when you visit our website, sign up to hear from us, or visit our parlours. We keep things simple: we only collect what we need, we look after it carefully, and we never sell it.

Who we are

Darlish is operated by Darlish Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 09859169), with its registered office at Home Farm, Hatfield Park, Hatfield, England, AL9 5NH. We are the data controller for the information described in this policy.

We collect information you give us directly, such as when you sign up to our emails or take out a subscription or get in touch. We also collect limited information automatically when you use our website, as explained in our Cookie Policy.

Transfers outside the UK

Some of our providers, such as Klaviyo, Google and Stripe, may store information outside the UK, including in the United States. Where this happens, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or approved contract terms.

How long we keep it

We keep your information only for as long as we need it:

  • Email marketing: until you unsubscribe
  • Subscription records: while your subscription is active, then [12 months] afterwards.
  • Enquiries: [12 months] after we last hear from you.
  • Financial records: six years, as required by law.

You have the right to:

  • ask for a copy of the information we hold about you
  • ask us to correct anything that is wrong
  • ask us to delete your information
  • object to, or ask us to limit, how we use it
  • withdraw your consent at any time
  • ask us to transfer your information to another organisation

To use any of these rights, email us at hello@darlish.co.uk. We’ll respond within one month and there is no charge.

Children

Our website and emails are intended for adults. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Keeping your information safe

We take sensible steps to protect your information, including secure systems, restricted access and working only with reputable providers. Payment card details are handled securely by our payment providers (Stripe for subscriptions and Zettle in our parlours) and are never stored by us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed, and we’ll let you know by email about any significant changes.

Contact us and complaints

If you have any questions about this policy or how we use your information, email hello@darlish.co.uk or write to us at Darlish Ltd, Home Farm, Hatfield Park, Hatfield, AL9 5NH.

If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. We’d appreciate the chance to put things right first, so please contact us before going to the ICO.
