Our service providers:

We work with partners, suppliers, insurers, delivery companies and agencies so they can process your personal information on our behalf but only where they meet our standards on the processing of data and security. We only share information that allows them to provide their services to us or to facilitate them providing their services to you. For example, some of our service providers may place advertising for us online about our products and services and those of our retail partners, suppliers and third parties. As a result, where you have indicated you are happy to receive marketing from us, you might see online advertising that we have placed on the web sites you visit, or the interactive services you use.
 

Other organisations and individuals:

We may transfer your personal information to other organisations in certain scenarios. For example:  

• If we are discussing selling or transferring part or all of our business, we may share information about you to prospective purchasers - but only so they can evaluate that business;
• If we are reorganised or sold to another organisation, we may transfer information we hold about you to them so they can continue to provide the services to you;
• If required to by law, under any code of practice by which we are bound or we are asked to do so by a public or regulatory authority such as the Police, Trading Standards, or the Department for Work and Pensions;
• If we need to do so in order to exercise or protect our legal rights, users, systems and services; or
• In response to requests from individuals (or their representatives) seeking to protect their legal rights, or the rights of others.

From time to time we may transfer your personal information to our suppliers or service providers based inside and outside of the EEA for the purposes described in this privacy policy. If we do this, your personal information will continue to be subject to one or more appropriate safeguards set out in the law. These might be the use of model contracts in a form approved by regulators, or having our suppliers sign up to an independent privacy scheme approved by regulators (like the US 'Privacy Shield' scheme).

We would like to tell you about other great offers, ideas, products and services from time to time that we think you might be interested in. Where you have consented to us doing so, we may do this through the post, by email, text message, online, using social media, or by any other electronic means.

We will not send you marketing messages if you tell us not to but we will still need to send you occasional service-related messages.

Access and correction of your personal information:

You have the right to access the personal information that we hold about you in many circumstances. This is sometimes called a 'Subject Access Request'. If we agree that we are obliged to provide personal information to you (or someone else on your behalf), we will provide it to you or them free of charge.

Before providing personal information to you or another person on your behalf, we may ask for proof of identity and sufficient information about your interactions with us that we can locate your personal information.

If any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or out of date, you may ask us to correct it.

If you would like to exercise these rights, please contact us as set out below.
 

Right to stop or limit our processing of your data:

You have the right to object to us processing your personal information if we are not entitled to use it any more, to have your information deleted if we are keeping it too long or have its processing restricted in certain circumstances.

If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us as set out below.
 

We will retain a record of your personal information for up to six years after you placed your last order. This is done in order to provide you with a high quality and consistent service across our group. We will always retain your personal information in accordance with law and regulations and never retain your information for longer than is necessary. A valid reason for us keeping your information includes ensuring you are made aware as quickly as possible about any safety issues with your purchase(s) and so that you can easily exercise your consumer rights.

Financial details you provide to us will be kept for up to 12 months so that we can easily refund you if an issue arises or to assist you with making further purchases.

We sometimes provide you with links to other websites, but these websites are not under our control. Therefore, we will not be liable to you for any issues arising in connection with their use of your information, the website content or the services offered to you by these websites. We advise you to consult the privacy policy and terms and conditions on each website to see how each supplier may process your information.

When using our website, you may be able to share information through social networks like Facebook and Twitter. For example, when you 'like', 'share' or review our goods or services. When doing this your personal information may be visible to the providers of those social networks, their other users and/or our company. Please remember it is your responsibility to set appropriate privacy settings on your social network accounts so you are comfortable with how your information is used and shared on them.

We take security measures to protect your information including:

• Limiting access to our buildings to those that we believe are entitled to be there (by use of passes, key code access and other related technologies);
• Implementing access controls to our information technology, such as firewalls, ID verification and logical segmentation and/or physical separation of our systems and information;
• Never asking you for your passwords;
• Advising you never to enter your account number or password into an email or after following a link from an email.
