Use of cookies

Occasionally, we may gather information about your computer for our services and provide statistical information regarding the use of our website to our advertisers. Such information will not identify you personally; it is statistical data about our visitors and their site use. This statistical data does not identify any personal details whatsoever.

Similarly, we may gather information about your general internet use using a cookie file. Where used, these cookies are downloaded to your computer automatically. This cookie file is stored on your computer’s hard drive as cookies contain information transferred to your computer’s hard drive. They help us to improve our website and the service that we provide to you. All computers have the ability to decline cookies. This can be done by activating the settings on your browser, which enables you to decline the cookies. Please note that should you choose to decline cookies, you may be unable to access particular parts of our website. Our advertisers may also use cookies, over which we have no control. Such cookies (if used) will be downloaded once you click on advertisements on our website.

Use of your information

The information we collect and store relating to you is primarily used to enable us to provide our services to you. In addition, we may use the information for the following purposes:

To provide you with information requested from us relating to our products or services.

To provide information on other products that may interest you, where you have consented to receive such information.

To meet our contractual commitments to you.

To notify you about any changes to our website, such as improvements or service/product changes, that may affect our service.

If you are an existing customer, we may contact you with information about goods and services similar to those that were the subject of a previous sale.

We or they may contact you about these goods and services by any method you consented to when your information was collected.

If you are a new customer, we will only contact you or allow third parties to contact you only when you have provided consent and only by those means you provided consent for. If you do not want us to use your data for ourselves or third parties, you can withhold your consent when you provide your details to us on the form on which we collect your data.

Please be advised that we do not reveal information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers, but we may occasionally provide them with aggregate statistical information about our visitors.

Storing your personal data

We may transfer data that we collect from you to locations outside of the European Economic Area for processing and storing. Also, it may be processed by staff operating outside the European Economic Area who work for us or one of our suppliers. For example, such staff may be engaged in processing and concluding your order, processing your payment details and providing support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in agreement with this Privacy Policy.

Data that is provided to us is stored on our secure servers. Details relating to any transactions entered into our site will be encrypted to ensure their safety. The transmission of information via the Internet is not entirely secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee the security of data sent to us electronically. The transmission of such data is, therefore, entirely at your own risk.

We do not store any financial information.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.

Disclosing your information

Where applicable, we may disclose your personal information to any member of our group. This includes, where applicable, our subsidiaries, our holding company and its other subsidiaries (if any). We may also disclose your personal information to third parties:

    iii. To assist fraud protection and minimise credit risk.

 

Security of your personal information

We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.

We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure password and firewall-protected servers. All electronic transactions you make to or receive from us will be encrypted.

Of course, data transmission over the Internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the Internet.

You are responsible for keeping your passwords and other user details confidential. We will not ask you for your password or user details and accept no liability should you disclose your password or any other user details to a third party.

Updating information

Please let us know if the personal information we hold about you needs to be corrected or updated.
