PRIVACY STATEMENT

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Authorised employees within the company use any information collected from you on a need to know basis only. We constantly review our systems and data to ensure the best possible service to our customers. We will, at all times, endeavour to collect and process your personal information in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and other applicable data protection.

Personal data & its uses - What we collect and how we use it 

When referring to “personal data”, we mean information we collect from you, from which you may be personally identified. The circumstances where we collect this information from you will include:

Fulfilling a contract/order

We may use personal data you submit to us when ordering goods or services from us for the purpose of fulfilling that order, and it may be necessary for us to share such data with third parties such as the card payment services provider or carrier of goods. Under certain circumstances, we may use an external credit reference agency to provide information on your credit scoring or credit rating. This will provide an automated decision on your
eligibility for credit when it is necessary in order to process your order.

Answering your queries

Where you send us personal data in the context of asking us a question or query (for example, about the company, or its products or services or their quality or availability), we shall use the data you provide in order to respond to your question. In some cases, it may be necessary to share your details with other third-party data processors (eg credit reference agencies).

Direct marketing

Where you give consent to receive such material, we will from time to time send you information and/or offers about our products and/or services which we believe may be of interest to you. At any time, however, you may unsubscribe from (“opt out” of) such future contact.

In addition, we use IP addresses to analyse trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Additionally, for systems administration, detecting usage patterns and troubleshooting purposes, our web servers automatically log standard access information including browser type, access times/open mail, URL requested, and referral URL. This information is not shared with third parties and is used only within this Company on a need-to-know basis.

Any individually identifiable information related to this data will never be used in any way different to that stated above without your explicit permission.

Your data will only be held by us for as long as it is legally required, in accordance with the GDPR and our Data Retention Policy.

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

The legal bases under which we process your data are:

Legitimate interest

Where our processing in accordance with such legitimate interests is necessary and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights of the data subject. In this case, we will use your information to understand how you use our services/site, understanding or responding to your feedback, researching or analyzing our goods and services to improve them or products received from other entities in the group, personalizing offers and maintaining public presence through traditional or social media.

Where consent is used as the basis of processing you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Contract

Where the processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract in order to supply you with the goods or services you have ordered.
