Privacy and Data at Ekhowley Co

This page explains what happens to the information you share when you browse the catalogue, add pieces to a quote list, or send a trade enquiry. It covers the data we collect, why we keep it, how long it stays, and how you can ask us to change or remove it.

What we collect

When you write to us or request a sample, we receive the name, email address, phone number and message you enter in the form. If you are a stylist, guesthouse or retailer, that may also include a business name and delivery region. Alongside this, our hosting and analytics tools record basic technical data: browser type, device, approximate location and the pages you opened.

Why we hold it

We use your details to answer enquiries, prepare quotes, arrange delivery across South Africa and keep a record of trade conversations. Technical data helps us see which listings and rooms people actually look at, so the catalogue stays useful rather than cluttered. We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for unrelated marketing.

Cookies and analytics

The site sets a small number of cookies to keep pages working and to measure traffic. Analytics events tell us how visitors move between material and room sections. You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings at any time; the catalogue will still load, though some preferences may reset.

Sharing and processors

We rely on a few outside services to run the site: hosting, analytics and the email or form provider that delivers your message. These processors only see the data needed to perform that task. If a delivery or payment step is involved in an order, the relevant courier or provider handles the details required to complete it.

Your rights

You can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, have it corrected, request a portable copy, or have it deleted. You may also withdraw consent for analytics or marketing at any point. Visitors in the EU and California have additional rights under GDPR and CCPA, and we honour those requests the same way we handle local ones.

How long we keep it

Enquiry and trade records are kept while a conversation or order is active and for a reasonable period afterwards so we can follow up on care questions or repeat orders. Analytics data is retained in aggregate. When information is no longer needed, it is removed from our systems.

Privacy requests and contact

Send any access, correction or deletion request to the details below and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. Please include enough information for us to locate your record.

Accuracy and honesty

Listings describe materials, sizes and care honestly, and we do not publish invented reviews, false endorsements or claims of affiliation we do not have. We do not use pressure tactics or guaranteed-outcome promises. If something on the site is unclear or looks wrong, tell us and we will correct it.
