At abeautifulworld (A Beautiful World Limited) we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy sets out our privacy practices for the A Beautiful World website. Please take the time to review this Privacy Policy carefully as it tells you how your personal information will be treated by us.

By using the abeautifulworld website (the “Site”) and our services, you unconditionally agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy.

abeautifulworld wants to offer you the best possible internet experience; consequently, additional functions, features, products or services are incorporated into the site from time to time. This, and our commitment to protecting the privacy of your personal information, may result in periodic changes to this Privacy Policy. As a result, please remember to refer back to this Privacy Policy regularly to review any amendments.

Any questions regarding our Privacy Policy should be directed to A Beautiful World’s Privacy Policy Manager at privacy@abeautifulworld.co.uk or alternatively see the Contact Us page on this Site.

 

What do we collect and use personal information for?

In order to:

  • reply to your enquiries and requests for information;
  • receive and process orders submitted by you;
  • customise the service we provide to you;
  • carry out our obligations in relation to any agreement you have with us;
  • verify your identity;
  • anticipate and resolve problems with any goods or services supplied to you;
  • carry out market research and tracking of sales data;
  • send you newsletters, surveys or other information about our products and services by post e-mail or SMS.

We may need to collect and process personal information about you including your name, age, address and contact details such as your telephone number and e-mail address. If you place an order with us, we will also ask for your payment details. We may ask you for this information through our site, or via one of our telephone operators, or we may collect this information through your e-mail or other communications with us. Certain information is collected automatically, as described later in this Privacy Policy.

We may also ask you for other optional information such as what sort of device you use such as a mobile telephone or PDA or tablet, how you heard about our site and what sort of subjects interest you. If you choose to give us this information, we will use it to help us to provide you with the best possible service that is personalised to your needs and preferences. Although we do not make it compulsory to give us every item of information we ask for, the more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we can tailor our services for you.

Log files/IP addresses

When you visit our Site, we automatically log your IP address (the unique address which identifies your computer on the internet) which is automatically recognised by our web server. We use IP addresses to help us administer the site and to collect broad demographic information for aggregate use. Your IP address is also logged when you make a purchase as a fraud prevention measure required by the payment gateway.

Non-personal information

We may automatically collect non-personal information about you such as the type of internet browsers you use or the site from which you linked to our site. You cannot be identified from this information and it is only used to assist us in providing an effective service on our site. We may from time to time supply the owners or operators of third party sites from which it is possible to link to our site with information relating to the number of users linking to our site from their sites. You cannot be identified from this information.

Improving our service

Staff from abeautifulworld, or from our service providers, may contact you from time to time using the contact means you have supplied to us in order to get your views and comments on the service we provide to you.

Information about products and services.

It is very important to us that we provide you with the highest level of service. In order to help us do this, from time to time we may contact you using one of the contact methods you have provided, with details of our newsletters, surveys, products, offers and services which we think may be of interest to you. If at any time you do not wish to receive these details, then send an e-mail message titled “unsubscribe” to info@abeautifulworld.co.uk. Please note that active customers will continue to receive order and account communications from us.

Third party sites

We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other third party sites, or for advertisers on our site, even if you access them using links from our site and we recommend that you check the policy of each site you visit.

Unless expressly stated, we are not agents for these third party sites or for any third party advertisers on our site, nor are we authorised to make representations on their behalf.

Disclosing your information to others

Other than the disclosures referred to in this policy, we will not disclose any personal information without your permission unless we are legally entitled or obliged to do so (for example, if required to do so by Court Order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime).

We will only disclose and/or transfer your personal information to a third party either as part of a reorganisation or a sale of the assets of a A Beautiful World, or having ensured that steps have first been taken to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

We may store some information (commonly known as a “cookie”) on your computer when you look at our site. This information facilitates your use of our site and helps us to understand how our site is used. You can erase or block cookies from your computer if you want to (your help screen or manual should tell you how to do this), but certain abeautifulworld services may not work correctly or at all if you set your browser not to accept cookies.

Checkout Security

You should be aware that the internet is an insecure environment. We have implemented technology and employee policies to help safeguard your privacy from unauthorised access and improper use. We will continue to update these measures, as appropriate, when new technology becomes available.

When you purchase goods on our site, you will be automatically directed to a secure server site that is managed and controlled by SagePay (www.sagepay.com). You can view their security policy here: http://www.sagepay.com/security_policy. A Beautiful World will only pass information to SagePay via secure server software ("SSL") to encrypt and therefore protect ordering information. All personal data that you supply to SagePay shall be governed by SagePay’s data protection and privacy policy. abeautifulworld accepts no liability for any use made by SagePay of such personal data.

Shipping & Returns

Shipping 

We ship to most of Europe but do not collect taxes for you, this means you may have additional charges and taxes to pay for customs prior to goods arriving with you (some Country exclusions are applicable, please email info@abeautifulworld.co.uk for more info). Standard Shipping is via Royal Mail Tracked 48. Please email customerservices@abeautifulworld.co.uk if you would like a next day or Saturday delivery. We ship out Monday to Friday only. Please note; we do not dispatch at weekends.

We dispatch promptly. However, we cannot control the postal or delivery service timelines. Unfortunately in the time of Covid and during industrial action, there may be some delay beyond our control. A package cannot be claimed as missing or lost until 30 days after we have dispatched. Some European countries are clearing customs rather slowly, and again, we have no control over this. We ask for your patience during these times. Thank you.

Customs, Duties & Taxes For Overseas Orders

A Beautiful World ships your package DUP within the EU (duties and taxes unpaid) for all orders. This is governed by EU laws, and cannot predict what your particular charges may be.

When ordering from abeautifulworld.co.uk , you're responsible for assuring the product can be lawfully imported to the destination.

The recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination. Orders shipped outside of the United Kingdom and EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be fulfilled by the recipient; A Beautiful World has no control over these charges, unfortunately nor can A Beautiful World predict what they may be.

BREXIT has changed a good many rules into the EU, and now customers pay the taxes as they arrive into your Country. This I am afraid is beyond our control and is a legal requirement.

These customs policies vary widely; you should contact your local customs office for more information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. Please note local customs charges may be required for payment by the customer on orders outside the UK. abeautifulworld.co.uk do not take responsibility for local customs charges.

 

Refund Policy

If for any reason you’re dissatisfied with your purchase, we will gladly offer a refund on all products returned to us within fourteen days of your receipt, provided they are returned in their original packaging, in an unopened and unused condition. We may request photos of the product prior to sending it back to us. This way we all have a record of what is being returned. If the product has been removed from the packaging, we will determine this as "opened". Please understand, no one wants to buy a skin care item that someone else has already opened. Personal hygiene and our customers protection is paramount to us. So we will only refund on products that are truly as new and untampered with.

Please be aware that due to EU hygiene regulations we cannot offer a refund, replacement or exchange on items returned in non-saleable condition.

Returns process;

  1. Please email customerservices@abeautifulworld.co.uk with your order number and details of which product/s you would like to return.
  2. Customer Services will send you a RMA form.
  3. Please complete the RMA form, and return with the products to the address below.  Please ensure that you get proof of postage.

 

We will refund your product as quickly as possible by sending the money back to your original payment method. If your card has expired in the mean time you need to email us at customerservice@abeautifulworld.co.uk to arrange.

International Return Policy

All customers must provide us with the item’s picture they want to return to confirm the sellable condition of the products. Only after that customer service will be able to send to the customer return authorisation number.Please note that any overseas return, may be subject to taxes etc, and we cannot refund these as these are not our charges that we can refund.
