What we collect, why we collect it, and your rights — in plain English.
Last updated: October 2026
London Racket Lab, a small business in the United Kingdom, is the controller of your personal data. We have no public office, so please contact us by email at london.racket.lab@gmail.com (see our contact page).
We only collect what we need. Card details are entered on Stripe’s checkout page and we never see or store them.

We do not set cookies and we do not use analytics or advertising trackers on this site. Stripe’s checkout and the Google Fonts we load may handle your data under their own policies (see below).
We use a small number of service providers to run the shop. They only process data on our behalf or for the stated purpose:
We do not sell your data. Some providers are based outside the UK (for example in the USA); where that happens we rely on a lawful transfer mechanism, such as the UK–US data bridge or standard contractual clauses with the UK addendum.
Under UK data protection law you can ask us to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your data, to move it to another provider, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where we rely on consent you can withdraw it at any time. Email london.racket.lab@gmail.com and we will reply within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk (0303 123 1113). We would appreciate the chance to put things right first.
This site is not aimed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data. If we change this policy we will update the date above.
