RunedForge is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use runedforge.com and how we use it.
We are the data controller for the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
We Don’t Take Orders
RunedForge does not sell products directly. When you choose to buy, you are sent to Amazon.co.uk and your purchase is made with Amazon. We never see your payment details, delivery address or order history. Amazon’s own Privacy Notice covers anything you do on their site.
What Data We Collect
When you browse our website:
- Technical data such as IP address, browser type and device information, recorded in standard server logs for security
- Pages visited and referring URL
When you contact us:
- Your name, email address and anything you include in your message
How We Use Your Data
- To run and secure the website — preventing abuse and diagnosing faults
- To communicate with you — replying to enquiries
- To improve the website — understanding which pages and tools are useful
Legal Basis for Processing
- Legitimate interest — website security, answering enquiries, improving our services
- Consent — any non-essential cookies (you can withdraw consent at any time)
Amazon Affiliate Links
Links to Amazon on this site contain our Associates tracking tag. When you click one, Amazon may set cookies on your device so it can credit us with a commission if you buy. Those cookies are set and controlled by Amazon, not by us, and we do not receive any personal data about you from Amazon — only aggregated sales reports.
Who We Share Your Data With
- Hostinger — our hosting provider
- Google Fonts — web fonts are loaded from Google, which receives your IP address when fonts are requested
- Amazon — only when you choose to follow an affiliate link, as described above
We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with anyone else without your consent unless required by law.
Cookies
RunedForge itself sets no tracking or advertising cookies. WordPress may set a functional cookie if you log in. Amazon sets its own cookies once you arrive on Amazon.co.uk.
You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings.
Data Retention
- Server logs — kept for up to 30 days
- Enquiries — kept for 2 years after resolution
Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email admin@runedforge.com. We will respond within one month.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be on this page.
