HOW AND WHY WE COLLECT YOUR DATA
We want to give you the best possible customer experience. To do this, we use the data we have relating to your use of our website, and social interactions with us, to deliver more personalised content. We then use this to offer you promotions, products and services that are most likely to interest you. The data privacy law allows this as part of our legitimate interest in understanding our customers and providing the highest levels of service. You always remain in control of your own privacy. If you wish to change how we use your data, you’ll find details in the ‘What are my rights’ section below. Remember, if you choose not to share your personal data with us, or refuse certain contact permissions, we might not be able to provide some services you have asked for.
Here is how we will use your personal data and why:
​
-
To process any orders that you make by using our online store. If we don’t collect your personal data during checkout, we won’t be able to process your order and comply with our legal obligations.
​
-
To respond to your queries, refund requests and complaints. Handling the information you sent enables us to respond. We may also keep a record of these to inform any future communication with us and to demonstrate how we communicated with you throughout. We do this on the basis of our contractual obligations to you, our legal obligations and our legitimate interests in providing you with the best service and understanding how we can improve our service based on your experience.

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.
To protect the confidentiality of your information, we will ask you to verify your identity before proceeding with any request you make under this Privacy Notice. If you have authorised a third party to submit a request on your behalf, we will ask them to prove they have your permission to act.
HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA
When we collect or process your personal data, we will 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 entirely or anonymised so it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and planning.
​
When we collect or process your personal data during a bespoke order which requires you to provide additional data, we will keep it to facilitate future orders placed. If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data for as long as required by law.
WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH
Data that is forwarded to third parties, is only used to provide you with the services mentioned above, for example, shipping agents in connection with the delivery of goods or debt collection agencies for the purpose of credit rating checks, identity checks, and debt collection.
