Privacy Policy

How we collect your data

Personal information about you (which may include your name, address, telephone number and email, IP address, and ID numbers) needs to be collected in order to carry out our business. We may ask you for this information on this website, in person, via email or via one of our telephone operators. Our website may use cookies to save your password so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you visit our site. We may also use cookies to make the ordering and sales processes smoother. Certain information is collected automatically, as described later in this privacy policy.

Use of personal information

The data we collect and how we use the personal data that you provide depends on the level of service or the products that you request from us. To keep it simple we have broken this down into 4 types of interaction that you may have with us. For each type of interaction, we have identified the data collected and explained how this data may be used. We have also identified any 3rd parties with whom we may need to share your data in order to carry out our business and deliver the service you have requested.

When you visit our website, we may record your IP address which will be automatically recognised by our web server. This information helps us to operate the website effectively and collect general aggregate statistics. This information will not be linked to any personal information at this stage. We may also collect information such as the software you use to access our website or the website that you reached our website from. In order to monitor this, we use Google Analytics a software service which compiles the information from all sessions on our digital platform to give us statistics.

We may from time to time supply the owners or operators of third-party sites that are used to reach our website with information relating to the number of users reaching our website from their websites. Again, individuals are not identified from this information.
