We usually collect personal information such as your name, address, email address, telephone number and financial details. As a general rule we do not collect sensitive information.

We may use your information to provide our services to you, to fulfil administrative functions associated with these services (for example processing payments) and to enter into contracts with you or third parties.

We may also use your contact information to notify you of important changes to our online shopping facility or to inform you of special promotions which may be of interest to you. Before we do so, we will provide you with an opportunity to give us permission to send you marketing or promotional material via an opt-in mechanism. That is, we will send you such material only if you elect to receive it or if it is provided to you in response to your request. You may also notify us at any time that you do not wish to receive marketing or promotional material by contacting us. Our contact details are set out below.
