What we do with your information

We collect information to allow us to obtain a better understanding of your needs and to offer you with a better experience and service. Your information can be used in the following (but not limited to) ways.

  • To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us and to provide you with information, products or services that you request from us.

Social Media platforms

We operate social media platforms. These platforms are, in most cases, operated outside of the EU and do not comply with current Data Privacy Act and subsequent GDPR provision although they may well conform to the U.S Privacy Shield protocol. It is our process and protocol that any personally identifiable data gathered on these platforms is only in response to users interacting out of their own volition with our marketing pages. The contact is deemed as a legitimate business enquiry. The personal contact data is removed from the site once the enquiry is processed or the user has requested to do so.

Our website uses Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our website. We anonymize this data at the point of collection and automatically delete user and event data that is older than two years.

Sharing of information

We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide services that you have requested. In order to fulfil your order, process your payment details and to provide you with services, we may share your personal information with our trusted service providers including but not limited to payment gateway provider, delivery partners, analytics & search engine providers and credit reference agencies.

All information provided is stored on our secure servers and we take realistic steps to protect your information in accordance with this privacy policy.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
