This website is owned and operated by Halo Bottle Ltd. Halo Bottle Ltd. is a company registered in England and Wales under registration number 11637115. Our registered address is 71-75 Shelton Street, London, Greater London, United Kingdom, WC2H 9JQ. When we say “Halo Bottle” or the “Site” we mean the website (halobottle.com) operated by or on behalf of Halo Bottle.
It is Halo Bottle’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. Accordingly, we have developed this privacy policy for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate, disclose and make use of personal information.
This privacy policy explains the following:
What personal information do we collect from you?
The data we collect about you may be identifiable or anonymous. Identifiable data uses something personal about you, for example, an email address or name. We may collect from you and process information that you provide to us when placing an order, registering online, setting up or amending an account with us on our website, for example, your name, address, email address, contact numbers, password, and card details which can be used when you subsequently place an order. This also may include information which you voluntarily disclose to us by email or other means or information requested as part of a survey or contest. These details are sometimes used by us for reporting or for advertising.
Anonymous data is data we use that tracks your actions on or off our website but does not specifically attribute this action to you, so we cannot see that you personally completed an action but we can see that somebody completed that action. We may, as an example, collect details about your visits to our website, including traffic data, location data and other communication data, used for analytics to improve your experience with the website. We use this data for reporting and for monitoring the effectiveness of advertising or marketing campaigns.
Anonymous data
With the below data processors, we need to share the anonymous data with them to be able to use these various reporting or advertising tools. We do not share any identifiable information, such as a name or an email, for the performance of these tools.
Facebook and Instagram ads – we serve ads to people on Facebook and Instagram based on their user profiles on Facebook and Instagram, this might include what they like, dislike or things they have shown an interest in.
Google Analytics – we analyse website user data, i.e., how someone navigates our website, to understand what areas of our website or which marketing campaigns work best. This might include what country a user is in, whether they are a new visitor or returning user, which marketing campaign they came to the website through. Google Analytics will associate the visitation information that it collects from Halo Bottle with Google information from accounts of signed-in users. This means we can track a user across devices if they are signed in to their Google accounts, however we cannot see which user has visited across different devices, so the data is still anonymous.
Klaviyo – we track overall clicks and opens for a newsletter. This means we can analyse how newsletters perform.
Shopify – we track page views with this tool, so that our editors can track the progress of each article when they are editing. This tracks how many views each article has attained since being published.

Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”.

Data processors that process your identifiable information, i.e., your name, email address, home address, do so on behalf of Halo Bottle to process website orders, competitions, reporting and advertising. We never sell this information or use it any way other than fulfilment of our business functions. We do however invite you to read the privacy policies of our identifiable data processors so that you are fully aware of how your data is being used.
Competitions – we use data gathered through competitions to choose the winner and upload the entrants who sign up for newsletters into Klaviyo so that we can send them email campaigns. We also keep a record of these emails saved so that we can prove that entrants gave us permission to email them. We delete any emails from the competition that did not give us permission to send them marketing communications.
CVs – we keep CVs from successful applicants for 6 months. CVs are only used for recruitment purposes and are never shared with third parties. Unsuccessful applicants’ CVs are deleted after the position they applied for has been filled.
Facebook – we run ads on Facebook and Instagram that use identifiers of our customers or users who have signed up to receive newsletters from us, we take the profile of these customers or newsletter subscribers and show ads to new users based on similarities between likes and dislikes of our customers or newsletter subscribers. We collect the data for Facebook ads through cookies on our website and through order data collected when a customer purchases. If you would like to opt out from this you can opt out of cookies here, or email data@halobottle.com and we will remove your details from our lists.
Google Analytics – Google Analytics tracks any orders through our website by using an order number as the identifier. While this does not show a name or email, we can use that order number internally to analyse what country a customer was in when they purchased, or for example, what marketing campaign they clicked through before purchasing. This enables us to analyse how our various marketing campaigns are performing, and opportunities for launching new marketing campaigns in different areas. We only use this information internally to monitor performance and never share this with third parties. If you would like your details to be removed from this analysis please email data@halobottle.com.
Klaviyo – we use Klaviyo to send out email campaigns to email addresses that have been subscribed to receive newsletter campaigns from us. We track how often a particular email address will open or click through our campaigns, or purchasing behaviour of our database. This allows us to send out campaigns based on an email address’s behaviour, so that we can be more targeted in our messaging. We also use this service to send out unique order-based offers, for example, sending a discount code for a product when a customer makes a purchase.
Shopify Payments – this is used to take payments from customers on the Halo Bottle site.
