Sensitive Data & The Nature of Our Business
We recognise that purchases from The Intimacy Edit may be considered sensitive. Buying intimate wellness products could, in certain contexts, reveal information about your personal life, relationships, or preferences. We take this seriously.
We do not collect data about your sexual preferences, identity, or lifestyle. We collect only the information necessary to process your order and, where you have chosen to subscribe, to send you marketing.
Your order history — including purchases from The Intimacy Edit — is stored securely and is never shared with third parties for their own marketing or profiling purposes. Our staff access order data only when necessary to process, fulfil, or support your order.
All Intimacy Edit orders are dispatched in discreet packaging. Your bank statement shows a charge from Tees Luxury Label Ltd only. We have designed every step of the purchase journey to protect your privacy.

Marketing Communications
How we market to you
We will only send you marketing emails if you have explicitly consented to receive them — either at checkout, via a sign-up form, or by subscribing to our email list. We do not add customers to marketing lists without consent.
Our marketing may include new product announcements, promotions, skincare education, fragrance guides, and wellness content. All emails are sent via Klaviyo.
How to unsubscribe
You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time by:
- Clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing email
- Emailing hello@sumptuouspleasure.com with the subject “Unsubscribe”
- Updating your preferences in your customer account
Unsubscribing from marketing will not affect transactional emails — we will still send order confirmations and dispatch notifications as these are necessary to fulfil your order.
Targeted advertising
With your consent, we may use cookies and tracking pixels (TikTok, Pinterest, Meta) to show you relevant advertisements on other platforms. This is based on your browsing behaviour on our website. You can manage these preferences through our cookie consent tool at any time.
12
Cookies
Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device that help the website function correctly and allow us to understand how it is being used. We use four categories of cookies:
- Strictly necessary: Essential for the website to function. These cannot be disabled. They enable core features such as your shopping basket, checkout, and account login.
- Performance: These collect anonymised data about how visitors use our site — pages visited, time on site, error messages. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
- Functional: These remember your preferences to provide a more personalised experience.
- Marketing: Used to show you relevant adverts on other platforms (TikTok, Pinterest, Meta). These require your consent and can be managed through our cookie consent tool.
For full details on the cookies we use and how to manage them, please see our Cookie Policy at sumptuouspleasure.com/cookie-policy.
13
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. We will respond to all valid requests within 30 days.
Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you (a Subject Access Request). We will provide this free of charge.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Request deletion of your personal data where we no longer have a lawful basis to hold it. Also known as the “right to be forgotten.”
Request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances — for example, while you contest its accuracy.
Request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format so you can transfer it to another service.
Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop unless we have compelling legitimate grounds.
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@sumptuouspleasure.com. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request. There is no charge for exercising your rights.
14
Data Security
We take data security seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
These measures include:
- SSL encryption on all pages of our website to protect data in transit
- Encrypted password storage — your account password is stored in hashed, unreadable form
- Payment card security — we use PCI-DSS compliant payment providers. We never store your full card details.
- Access controls — personal data is accessible only to staff and systems that require it for legitimate business purposes
- Regular security reviews of our systems and third-party providers
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay and will report the breach to the ICO within 72 hours as required by UK GDPR.
15
Children’s Privacy
Products from The Intimacy Edit are for adults aged 18 and over only. Our website is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 16.
If you believe a person under 16 has provided personal data to us, please contact us immediately at hello@sumptuouspleasure.com and we will delete that data promptly.
Online purchases through our website require you to be at least 16 years old, or to have parental consent.
