        It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.
        This website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications that we think you may be interested in. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

        2. The data we collect about you:

        Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).   You can visit our site anonymously if you choose, however, this makes it more difficult for us to help you and we would not be able to fulfil an order on an anonymous basis.

        We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

        • Identity Data includes first name, maiden name, last name, username or similar identifier, marital status, title, date of birth and gender.
        • Contact Data includes billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers.
        • Financial Data includes your bank account and payment card details.
        • Transaction Data includes details about payments to and from you and other details of products and services you have purchased from us.
        • Technical Data includes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.
        • Profile Data includes your username and password, purchases or orders made by you, your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses.
        • Usage Data includes information about how you use our website, products and services.
        • Marketing and Communications Data includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.

        We also collect, use and share aggregated datasuch as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. This is not considered ‘personal data’ as it cannot be used to identify you. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

        We do not collect any special categories of personal data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences. This is none of our business and will not help us in serving you better

        9. Your legal rights

          You have the right to:

          • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
          • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.   You can also do this yourself through our ‘Your Account’ area.
          • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
          • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
          • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
            • If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
            • Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
            • Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
            • You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
          • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
          • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
