Personal Information We May Collect
In the course of using the Site, we may collect, keep and process personal information from you. This includes:
- Contact details such as your name, postal and email addresses and a contact telephone number. This is collected when you create an account on the Site, if you contact us by sending us an email or filling in a form on the Site, or if you place an order.
- Payment details (such as debit/credit card details), when you place an order.
- Records of any correspondence between you and us.
- Details of orders placed by you through the Site and details of any resulting contracts.

It is possible to view the Site without providing personal details.

You must ensure that any personal information you provide is true, accurate and complete. It is also your responsibility to let us know about any changes to your personal information so that we can ensure our records are complete and up-to-date. We will never ask you to confirm any personal details, login details or payment details by email. If you receive an email asking for any such information which appears to be from us, do not respond to it. It may be an attempt to obtain those details for fraud.

Whenever you browse the Site, read pages, or download information, our computers automatically record certain information about your visit from the device you use to access the Site. This information does not include your identity even if certain data such as your IP address may be considered in certain countries such as France as identifying you indirectly. However, if you have logged into an account on the Site at the time that we record this information, we will be able to match these details back to you. The information includes:
- The date and time you access the Site.
- How many and which pages you visit during a 'session' on the Site and how long you were on the Site.

Storage of Personal Information
The Internet is not entirely secure and you should always be cautious about the information you disclose online. We will take reasonable steps to seek to treat your data securely and in accordance with this privacy policy, however, we will not be liable for loss or interception of this data unless this is caused by our failure to take reasonable steps to keep your data secure. Any personal information that you choose to provide to us will be held on a secure computer server. The server software encrypts all the information you supply us, and payment transactions are also encrypted using SSL technology. No credit card information is ever kept on this site; a secure third party payment gateway is used. Due to the international nature of our business, your personal information may be processed by us or our service providers worldwide (including at locations outside of the European Economic Area). This will only take place for the purposes set out in the "How we use your information" section above. By submitting personal information to us, you consent to this processing.
Disclosures of Information
We may disclose your information to the following third parties in connection with the purposes described above in the "How we use your information" section:
- our affiliated or associated companies;
- third parties who provide products and services to us or on our behalf, for example, contractors used to host, operate and maintain the Site on our behalf or to process and fulfil orders that you place with us and to take payments for these orders;
- to the extent permitted by local applicable law, credit reference agencies such as Experian, and other providers of financial or transaction service in connection with the processing of transactions and for fraud screening;
- any organisation that we appoint to handle email or other direct marketing communications;
- any other third party, if this is reasonably required in order to assist you with any enquiry, or to process or fulfil the purchase of any order that you have submitted via the Site.
Where you have consented to us disclosing your personal information to selected companies to enable them to market their goods or services to you then we may also provide your information to these companies who will themselves act as data controllers for the information they receive. We may also disclose your personal information to other third parties:
- if we wish to sell any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal information to the buyer or any prospective buyer of such business or assets under strict confidentiality rules;
- if we are under a legal duty to disclose your personal information; or
- if any applicable law otherwise permits us to do so. For example, the law generally permits us to disclose personal information for the purposes of the prevention or detection of crime, where necessary in connection with legal proceedings and for a number of other reasons.
We may share generalised information about site visitor patterns with third parties. However, we will not provide information to them which allows them to identify individual visitors.
