Please rest assured that we only collect your personal data for two reasons; for genuine business purposes, or where we are legally required to do so.

What personal data do we have about you?

We have personal information about you that you have given us, and which we have collected.

You also give us information when vising our website, filling out forms on our website, subscribing to our services, setting up a members account, creating wish lists, engaging with us on social media, leaving customer reviews and general email correspondence with us. This data can be grouped as follows;

What will the data be used for?

  • Consent - You have told us you are happy for us to process your personal information for a specific purpose (e.g. you have asked to receive information about our great marketing offers)
  • Legitimate interests - The processing is necessary for us to conduct our business, but not where our interests are overridden by your interests or rights
  • Prevention of fraud - Where we are required to process your data in order to protect us and our customers from fraud or money laundering
  • Legal claims - The processing of your personal information is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or whenever courts are acting in their judicial capacity
  • Legal obligation - We are required to process your personal information by law

What information do we share with others?

We may share your information with selected partners, suppliers or agencies, so that we can provide products and services from us to you. These third parties process your personal information on our behalf, meet our high standard of security and only process it for a specific reason, such as:

  • Payment providers that are processing payments

We will not sell any of your personal data to any third party or pass your data onto third parties who wish to advertise to you – ever. This includes your name, email address, address or any other personal information.

When will we send marketing communications to you?

We will only send marketing communications to you when you have specifically consented to receive them unless there is a proven legitimate interest in so doing. If you consent to receiving marketing communications from us via SMS, e-mail or direct mail, we will tell you about special offers, current or new products, store events, competitions and prize draws via your chosen communication method.

In addition, we may also use your data to help create a profile to find potential customers like you.

For the purpose of advertising and marketing we may need to disclose your personal details to third party sub-contractors. However, your personal data will not be used by a third party for their marketing purposes, only to fulfil our contact regarding the type of advertising you may have opted into.

You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. This can be done in the following ways:

  • If you have created an online member profile, you can update your preferences in the member area on the website
  • By clicking on the "unsubscribe" link in any email communications that we send you
  • Contacting us at;

How do we protect your data?

We keep all of your data as secure as if it was our own. We have robust procedures in place that are under constant review;

  • We encrypt data where possible
  • Delete non-relevant data within a reasonable amount of time
  • We restrict physical access to our buildings and user access to our systems, ensuring only the relevant processers see data
  • We have strong controls on our information systems, such as firewalls and user verification
  • We secure access to all transactional areas of our websites and apps using 'https' technology

How long do we keep your information?

We will take all possible steps to ensure data, is erased, securely destroyed or pseudonymised when it is no longer required. In most circumstances we will keep your personal data for 7 years in line with legal accounting practices. However, there can be situations where we will keep your information longer, for example if a product had a 15-year guarantee.

Do you want us to change how we are using your data?

As outlined above, there are a series of methods to opt out of marketing communications from us, this is known as withdrawing your consent. However under GDPR you also have a series of further rights as outlined below. However please bear in mind that in some cases there will be legitimate, legal or other official reasons for us to keep your data. These include but are not limited to;

  • you have an ongoing matter with our Customer Service team
  • you have an open order which has not yet been shipped or partially shipped
  • you have an unsettled debt with us, regardless of the payment method
  • you have made any purchase, in which case we are required to keep your personal data in connection to your transaction for accounting purposes, for 7 years

If you withdraw your consent, this may effect certain products or services that we can offer to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. With any such requests, we will endeavour to action them without undue delay.

Your Data Rights

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request").
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you.
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

However, it may be appropriate to charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. If you make a request, we may need to request specific information from you to ensure we are handling the data securely. This may include confirming your identity to enable you to exercise any of the above rights.
