We want to protect your privacy and confidentiality. All users of our website are concerned about their data being used lawfully.

We take our responsibilities under Data Protection Act, and we want to comply with the spirit and letter of guidance provided by the Information Commissioners' Office. You can find information about ICO at https://ico.org.uk/.

We regret that if there are one or more points below with which you are not happy, your only recourse is to leave our website immediately.

We do not share, sell, or disclose any personally identifiable information collected at this site to a third party.

The law requires us to determine how we process different categories of your personal information and notify you of each category's basis.

If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant, then we shall immediately stop processing your data.

1. INFORMATION WE PROCESS BECAUSE WE HAVE A CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION WITH YOU

When you buy a product or service from us or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us.

In order to carry out our obligations under that contract, we must process the information you give us. Therefore, some of this information may be personal information.

We may use it in order to:

• verify your identity for security purposes

• sell products to you

• provide you with our services

• provide you with suggestions and advice on products, services and how to obtain the most from using our website

We process this information on the basis there is a contract between us or that you have requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract. We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the contract terms.

2. INFORMATION WE PROCESS WITH YOUR CONSENT

Where there is no contractual relationship between us, such as when you browse our website or ask us to provide you more information about our business, including our products and services, you provide your consent to us to process information that may be personal information.

Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies.

Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you send us a message by e-mail to which you would reasonably expect us to reply.

Except where you have consented to our use of your information for a specific purpose, we do not use your information in any way that would identify you personally.

We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent, or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing via email.

3. INFORMATION WE PROCESS BECAUSE WE HAVE A LEGAL OBLIGATION

We are subject to the law like everyone else. Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation. This can include your personal information.

4. WEBSITE USAGE INFORMATION

We may use software embedded in our website (such as JavaScript) to collect information about pages you view and how you have reached them, what you do when you visit a page, the length of time you remain on the page, and how we perform in providing content to you. We do not associate such information with an identifiable person.

5. COOKIES

The cookies we use may last for a single visit to our site (they are deleted from your computer when you close your browser) or may remain on your computer until you delete them or until a defined period has passed.

Although your browser software enables you to disable cookies, we recommend that you allow the use of cookies to take advantage of the features of our website that rely on their use. If you prevent their use, you will not be able to use all the functionality of our website.

HERE ARE THE WAYS WE USE COOKIES

6. COMPLAINING

When we receive a complaint, we record all the information you have given to us. We use that information to resolve your complaint. If your complaint reasonably requires us to contact some other person, we may decide to give to that other person some of the information contained in your complaint.

We may also compile statistics showing information obtained from this source to assess the level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify anyone.

7. USE OF SITE BY CHILDREN

We do not market to children, nor do we sell products or services for purchase by children. If you are under 18, you may use our site only with consent from a parent or guardian.

8. DISCLOSURE TO GOVERNMENT AND THEIR AGENCIES

We may be required to give information to legal authorities if they request or if they have the proper authorisation.

9. RETENTION AND REVIEW OR UPDATE OR REMOVE PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

You may review or update the information that we hold about you or, if you wish, request the removal of any information about you from our website.
