We do this in accordance with the Cookies policy set out below.

 

3. Lawful use of your personal data

We will only use your personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so. The lawful purposes that we rely on under this Privacy & Cookie Policy are:

  • consent (where you choose to provide it),
  • performance of any contract we have with you, including our Terms and Conditions;
  • compliance with any legal obligations we may have; and
  • legitimate interests. When we refer to legitimate interests we mean our legitimate business interests in the normal running of our business which do not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.

We use your personal data to allow you to access our website, respond to your questions or comments, and to fulfill your order for goods including processing payments, returns and refunds in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

We use your personal data to comply with any legal obligations, demands or requirements, for example, as part of anti-money laundering processes or to protect a third party’s rights, property, or safety.

We may also use your personal data for our legitimate interests, including managing our relationship with you, dealing with any customer services you require, for audit purposes and to contact you about changes to this Privacy Policy.

 

4. Who do we share your data with?

For our legitimate interests, we may share your personal data with any service providers, sub-contractors and agents that we may appoint to perform functions on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions, including payment providers, IT service providers, accountants, auditors and lawyers.

We shall provide our service providers, sub-contractors and agents only with such of your personal data as they need to provide the service for us and if we stop using their services, we shall request that they delete your personal data or make it anonymous within their systems.

We may disclose any information, including Personal Data, we deem necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or governmental request.

 

5. Where we hold and process your personal data

Some or all of your personal data may be stored or transferred outside of the European Economic Area (the EEA) for any reason, including for example, if our email server is located in a country outside the EEA or if any of our service providers are based outside of the EEA.

If we do store or transfer your personal data outside the EEA, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated as safely and securely as it would be within the EEA and under applicable laws.

 

6. Security

We shall process your personal data in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. We do this by using appropriate technical or organisational measures, for example, all information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers and our employees are required to comply with all applicable data protection laws.

 

Notwithstanding our efforts, you acknowledge that no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take these steps to secure your personal data, we do not promise that your personal data will always remain completely secure.

 

7. Your rights

You have a number of rights under applicable law. Some of these rights are complex, and not all of the details have been included below.  To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

You have the right to obtain from us a copy of the personal data that we hold for you. You can also require us to correct errors in the personal data that we process for you if it is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. If you have an account on our website, you can of course obtain a copy of your personal data and/or correct your personal data through your account.

 

You can request that we transfer your personal data to another organisation.

You also have the right at any time to require that we delete your personal data that we hold for you, but please note if you do this, we shall no longer be able to process any order that you make, wish to make, or have made for goods.

 

Please note, we reserve the right to charge an administrative fee if your request in relation to your rights is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

If you have any complaints in relation to this Privacy & Cookies Policy or otherwise in relation to our processing of your personal data, please contact us. We shall review and investigate your complaint and try to get back to you within a reasonable time. You can also contact the Information Commissioner, see www.ico.org.uk or if you are based outside of the United Kingdom, please contact your local regulatory authority.

 

8. Retention of personal data

We retain your personal data in accordance with applicable laws. The length of time we keep your personal data depends on what it is and whether we have an on-going business need to retain it (for example, to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

We shall retain your personal data for as long as we have a relationship with you and for a period of time afterwards where we have an on-going business need to retain it, in accordance with our data retention policies and practices. Following that period, we shall make sure it is deleted or make it anonymous within our systems.
