We may use personally identifiable information to send out marketing communications too. You can opt out of this any any time.

Processing your Data Using our Legitimate Interests:

We have a number of reasons that we can use (or 'process') your personal data. One of these reasons is referred to as 'legitimate interests'. The following are some examples of when and why we would use this approach during our normal course of business:

To improve and enhance our services: We continually asses website user data to help improve the customer experience, our product portfolio and services offered.

In your best interest: We utilise 3rd party payment platforms that use 3d Secure technology in order to protect against fraud when purchasing through our website.

Personalisation: Where the processing enables us to enhance, modify, personalise or otherwise improve our services/communications for the benefit of our customers.

Website Analytics: To process user data for the purposes of customer analysis, marketing performance analysis on either an individual or aggregated basis.

Market Research: To determine the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and to develop our products, services, systems and relationships with customers.

Due Diligence: We may need to conduct investigations on existing customers, potential customers and business partners to determine if those companies and individuals have been involved or convicted of offences such as fraud, bribery and/or corruption.

Direct Marketing: Albeit infrequently, we may send direct marketing materials on occasion. We will also make sure our postal marketing is relevant for you and tailored to your interests. You also have the right to opt-out of receiving this information at any time.

When we process any personal information for our legitimate interests, we will consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection and any other relevant law. Our legitimate business interests do not automatically override your interests – we will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

How we Look After your Data:

We will protect the data that you entrust to us via appropriate security measures and controls. We’ll also ensure as best we can that other businesses we conect to are just as careful with your data.

We will always take appropriate technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
We ensure your data is encrypted and secure.
We will continually test, audit and monitor our compliance with Information Security standards and relevant Data Protection regulations.
We ensure those 3rd parties who process your data operate under a Data Sharing Agreement.

Your Data Outside of the EEA:

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored on servers in a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA). It may also be visible by staff operating outside the EEA or as part of any maintenance in relation to the website.

Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your personal information and the provision of support services.

We have ensured that appropriate protections are in place to make sure your personal data remains adequately protected and is treated in line with relevant Data Protection laws.

How Long do we Hold your Data:

We hold all customer info in a secure location for as long as necessary.
