Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Taste Tropics ("we," "us," "our") is a Caribbean-inspired food and pantry brand trading as a sole trader by Nicole Elizabeth Amos, of Piccadilly Business Centre, Unit C Aldow Enterprise Park, Blackett Street, Manchester, M12 6AE, United Kingdom. We are the data controller responsible for your personal data, and you can contact us about anything in this policy at nicole@tastetropics.com. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect your personal data in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. As Taste Tropics is not yet a registered company, this is a general template rather than bespoke legal advice; we recommend it is reviewed by a solicitor as the business grows.
What Data We Collect & Why
We only collect a small amount of data, and only when you give it to us. When you join our First Taste List sign-up form, we collect your first name, email address, and your explicit consent to receive marketing emails (via a checkbox you must actively tick, never pre-ticked). If you email us directly, we collect your email address and whatever you choose to tell us. Our site is hosted on Wix.com, which automatically collects standard technical data (IP address, browser type, device type, general usage) needed to run and secure the site. We do not use any additional analytics or advertising trackers beyond Wix's own built-in functionality, and we never collect payment details or special category data through this site.
Â
We use your first name and email to send the marketing emails you signed up for, relying on your consent (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time by clicking "unsubscribe" in any email or emailing us. We use enquiry emails to respond to you, and technical data to keep the site secure, both under our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)). We never sell your data. Wix.com Ltd acts as our data processor, hosting our site and storing sign-up submissions; Wix is based in Israel and the US and applies its own safeguards for international data transfers (see wix.com/about/privacy). We may also disclose data if required by law.
Your Rights, Cookies & How to Contact Us
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to our processing of your data, receive it in a portable format, withdraw consent at any time, and complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) if you're unhappy with how we've handled your data. We keep your details only for as long as you're subscribed, or until you ask us to delete them. Our site may use essential cookies set by Wix to operate correctly; we don't run additional marketing or analytics cookies at this time. Our mailing list is intended for adults; we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. We take reasonable steps to keep your data secure, though no method of transmission online is ever 100% guaranteed.

To exercise any of your rights, or with any questions about this policy, contact Nicole Elizabeth Amos, trading as Taste Tropics, at nicole@tastetropics.com or Piccadilly Business Centre, Unit C Aldow Enterprise Park, Blackett Street, Manchester, M12 6AE. We'll respond within one month. This policy was last updated on 4 September 2026 and may change from time to time as our business grows.
