Our Feedback
Thank you so much for my lovely apple tree, I ordered it Sunday and despite being the middle of the Christmas rush it arrived Wednesday. It's a wonderful healthy looking tree, I just hope I don't kill it. I will definitely be back to buy more items in the spring.

We have separated out each marketing activity that your personal data is used for below.

If you made a purchase from us we will keep the information you gave us and details of what you bought for up to seven years from the date of the last transaction with us, except in the event of a legal dispute.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), organisations that collect, process and store your personal information are defined as Data Controllers, which makes Victoriana Nursery Gardens the Data Controller for your personal data collected from our website.
GDPR classifies individuals as data subjects. So you, the customer or enquirer of Victoriana Nursery Gardens are a data subject under GDPR if you purchase or enquire about our products.

A good example of this is WorldPay, who are the company who process the payment for any products that you buy online. The data processors who handle your personal information gathered by our website have the same duty of care in handling your personal information.
