If you are unable to provide us with your Information

It is a contractual requirement for you to provide us with certain information, namely your name, delivery address, phone number and email address. During the ordering process you could be required to provide payment information to our chosen payment service provider. We do not hold a record of any of your bank or credit/payment card details. Failure to provide us with the necessary information required to complete a sale could result in the cancellation of your order.

We may share your personal data with trusted third parties. For example, the trusted haulage and shipping partners used to deliver your orders or IT Consultants used to keep our systems running.

This is the policy we apply to those organisations to keep your data safe and protect your privacy:

  • We provide only the information they need to perform their specific services.
  • We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with the law.
  • We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
  • If we stop using their services, any of your data held by them will either be deleted or rendered anonymous.
  • Third parties we work with are:
    • Couriers
    • Email Services
    • Mailing Services
    • Payment Services
    • Social Media
    • Regulatory Bodies
    • Law Enforcement
    • IT Services

We may also disclose your information to third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal information in the same way as set out in this policy. Should this be the case, we will contact you to inform you of any changes.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers in the United Kingdom, or within the EU.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely, including a formal review of the security provisions of 3rd party Data Controllers we use, including taking the following safeguards:

  • Our IT Services deploy security and monitoring tools that restrict access and alert us to any unauthorised behaviour on our network and systems.
  • We comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards in relation to debit/credit card payments made on our website.
  • Building entries. Our premises and those of the 3rd parties we use are access controlled and monitored always, with on-site security and CCTV.
  • Secure lockable Offices. Desks and cupboards are kept locked if they hold confidential information of any kind.
  • Methods of disposal of printed hardcopies. Paper documents are disposed of by shredding in a manner that ensures confidentiality.
  • We maintain strictly controlled access to systems and data based on the authorised roles of staff.
  • We ensure our employees are trained in the importance of data security.
  • Overseas transfers. Whenever we transfer your personal information outside the United Kingdom, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that we apply appropriate safeguards.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

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

The length of time that we will store your data will depend on the ‘legal basis’ for why we are using that data, as follows:

  • We will use/store your data for as long as it is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us. You can, at any time request us to stop using your information/data.

You have various legal rights in relation to the information you give us, or which we collect about you, as follows:

  • You have a right to access the information we hold about you free-of-charge, together with various information about why and how we are using your information, to whom we may have disclosed that information, from where we originally obtained the information and for how long we will use your information.
  • You have the right to ask us to make any changes to any information we hold about you deem to be inaccurate or incomplete.
  • You have the right to ask us to erase the information we hold about you (the ‘right to be forgotten’). Please note that this right can only be exercised in certain circumstances and, if you ask us to erase your information and we are unable to do so, we will explain why not.

Please note that this right can only be exercised in certain circumstances and, if you ask us to transmit your information and we are unable to do so, we will explain why not.
  • Where we use/store your information because it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, you have the right to object to us using/storing your information. We will stop using/storing your information unless we can demonstrate why we believe we have a legitimate business interest which overrides your interests, rights and freedoms.
