We collect your contact and delivery information (e.g. name, online delivery address and email address) to get in touch with you when necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you. For your added security all payment pages are hosted and processed by an appropriate third party payment provider, such as Shopify, which means that we don’t hold details of your billing information cards.

    consent gained from your continuing to browse our site, or

    your explicit consent by completing a contact form whether for requesting information or one of our products, or

You may request details of personal information which we hold about you under the relevant Data Protection legislation in force at the time (a “Data Access Request”). If you would like a copy of the information held about you, please email us.

If you believe that any information we are processing on you

    is incorrect or incomplete, (perhaps for example because you have seen you name spelt incorrectly or someone else has received a call meant for you), or

    is being mis-used (perhaps for example a company you don’t know has contacted you using information you supplied to us and you didn’t agree to this), or

    should no longer be processed by us (perhaps for example because you no longer wish to be contacted).

then please email us as soon as possible. We will promptly correct or delete any information found to be incorrect or no longer necessary and deal with your complaint. These rights to object are subject to our right to consider whether we are permitted or required to continue the processing in which event we will inform of our reasons.
