We know how important it is for you to understand how we use your data. This Privacy Policy sets out how and why we collect, store and process your personal data. We will always be transparent with you about what we do with your personal data.

This Policy also tells you what your rights are in relation to the personal data you give to us. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your rights under it please contact:

1. What personal data do we collect?

The personal data we collect from you directly can include your name, email address, mobile/landline telephone number, date of birth, address, your purchasing activity, your credit, or debit card or other payment information, and information you give us when you contact our customer services team or when you engage with our social media platform (for example by tagging us in a post on Instagram).

3. How do we use your personal data and what are our legal justifications for doing so?

To make our products and services available to you

We use your personal data to provide you with the information, products, and services that you request or purchase from us (i.e. to complete certain tasks, processes, or orders on our website, take payment online (where applicable), and deliver your products or services), and to communicate with you regarding those products and services that you purchase from us and respond to your questions and comments;

We rely on our contractual arrangements with you as the lawful basis on which we collect and process your personal data when you make an order for products and services. Alternatively, in some cases, we rely on our legitimate interests as a business (for example, to measure customer satisfaction and troubleshoot customer issues). Where we rely on our legitimate interests, we will always make sure that we balance these interests against your rights.

For security and legal reasons

We use your personal data to:

• Ensure the personal and financial information you provide us is accurate;
• Conduct fraud checks or prevent other illegal activity;
• Protect our rights or property (or those of others); and
• Fulfill our legal and compliance-related obligations.

In some cases, we will use your personal data because it's necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation (such as if we receive a legitimate request from a law enforcement agency). In other cases (such as the detection of fraud) we will rely on our legitimate interests as a business to use your personal data in this way. Where we rely on our legitimate interests, we will always make sure that we balance these interests against your rights.

 1. Who do we share your personal data with?

Third-Party Service Providers working on our behalf: We may pass your information on to third party companies, organisations, or service providers for the purpose of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf.  When sharing your information, we only ever provide the information to the third-party service providers that are specifically required to complete the action required and only when there is a contract in place which requires them to securely store your information and not use it for their own marketing purposes.

There may be other scenarios where we are subject to a legal obligation to share or disclose your personal data, such as with law enforcement agencies or public authorities in order to prevent or detect crime or fulfill a legal requirement.
