We may also collect aggregated data (e.g. analytics statistics) which is not considered personal data unless combined with identifiers. We do not collect or process special categories of data (e.g., health, religion, political views) or data about criminal convictions.

Where we require personal data by law or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

We collect personal data in the following ways:


  • Directly from you, when you fill in forms, make purchases or communicate with us.
  • Automatically, via cookies and similar technologies when you interact with our site.
  • From third parties, such as analytics providers, advertising networks and publicly available sources.

  • Where processing is required to comply with a legal obligation.

We generally do not rely on consent as the lawful basis for processing your personal data.

If you would like an explanation of how processing for a new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for a purpose that is not related to the original purpose, we will inform you and explain the legal basis that permits such processing.

If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.
 

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for anything other than our specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.


DATA SECURITY 

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put into place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

When determining the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which the data is processed, whether those purposes can be achieved through other means, and any applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

By law, we are required to retain certain basic customer information (including identity, contact, financial and transaction data) for six years after you cease to be a customer, for tax purposes.

In some circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal data. Please refer to the section on your legal rights below for further information.

In certain cases, we may anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, for research or statistical purposes. Once anonymised, this information may be used indefinitely without further notice to you.
