    YOUR DATA AND DIRECT MARKETING

    We want to bring you offers and promotions that are most relevant to your interests at particular times. To help us form a better overall understanding of you as a customer, we combine the personal data we’ve gathered about you. We also combine the data that we collect directly from you with data that we obtain from third parties to whom you have given your consent to pass that data onto us.

    HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR DATA?

    As our valued customer, we take your privacy and security very seriously. With this in mind, we will treat your data with the utmost care and take all appropriate steps to protect it.
    We secure access to all transactional areas of our websites and apps using ‘https’ technology. Access to your personal data is password-protected, and sensitive data (such as payment card information) is secured by SSL encryption. We regularly monitor our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we carry out penetration testing to identify ways to further strengthen security.

    HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?

    Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. 
    At the end of that retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymised, for example by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.

    ORDERS

    When you place an order, we’ll keep the personal data you give us for six years so we can comply with our legal and contractual obligations.

    WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH?

    We sometimes share your personal data with trusted third parties. Here’s the policy we apply to those organisations to keep your data safe and protect your privacy:

    • we provide only the information they need to perform their specific services.
    • they may only use your data for the exact purposes we specify in our contract with them.
    • we work closely with them to ensure that your privacy is respected and protected at all times.
    • if we stop using their services, any of your data held by them will either be deleted or rendered anonymous.

    HOW DO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH THIRD PARTIES FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSES?

    We will only do this in very specific circumstances, for example:

    • for fraud management, we may share information about fraudulent or potentially fraudulent activity in our premises or systems. this may include sharing data about individuals with law enforcement bodies.
    • we may also be required to disclose your personal data to the police or other enforcement, regulatory or government body, in your country of origin or elsewhere, upon a valid request to do so. these requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and take the privacy of our customers into consideration.
    • we may, from time to time, expand, reduce or sell the business and this may involve the transfer of divisions or the whole business to new owners. if this happens, your personal data will, where relevant, be transferred to the new owner or controlling party, under the terms of this privacy notice.

    To help personalise your journey through our websites we currently use the following companies, who will process your data as part of their contracts with us:

We may transfer personal data that we collect from you to third-party data processors in countries that are outside the EEA.

For more information about these contracts, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details in the section below. Any transfer of your personal data will follow applicable laws and we will treat the information under the guiding principles of this Privacy Notice.
