Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with the updated revision date.

Since you're using Wix, I'd also recommend adding a Cookie Policy and a Terms & Conditions page. Together with your Returns, Shipping, and Privacy pages, that gives your website all the key legal pages most UK online shops are expected to have.
