We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Notice sets out details of the information that we may collect from you and how we may use that information.

What information do we collect?

  • We may collect the following information about you:
  • your name, age/date of birth and gender
  • your email address
  • your billing, delivery or home address and telephone numbers (including mobile numbers)
  • details of your purchases and orders
  • your online browsing activity
  • your password(s)
  • your payment card details when you make a purchase or place an order with us
  • your communication and marketing preferences
  • your location
  • your correspondence and communications with us including notes of telephone calls
  • details of reviews which you post
  • your attendance at events we run
  • your competition answers or other competition submissions
  • other publicly available personal data, including any which you have shared via a public platform (such as a public Facebook page).

This list is not exhaustive and sometimes we may need to collect additional data for the purposes set out in this Notice. Some of your personal data is collected directly, for example, when you make a purchase on our websites or enter a competition. Other personal data is collected indirectly, for example, your browsing or shopping activity.

We work closely with third parties (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers, credit reference agencies) who provide services to us and may receive information about you from them. In particular, all payments are provided through a trusted third party.

How your information is used:

  • Depending on how you are interacting with us, we (and trusted partners acting on our behalf) use your personal data:
  • to fulfil contractual agreements between you and us (for example when you place an order for products through our website)
  • to manage any registered account(s) that you hold with us
  • to verify your identity
  • to respond to a query and manage other customer service interactions with you
  • to send you information about our products by post
  • for market research purposes - to better understand your needs
  • to provide you with a personalised browsing experience when using our website
  • to send you details (by e-mail) of promotional offers and products and services which we think may interest you, where you have consented to this (and have not withdrawn such consent) or where we have a legitimate business interest because you are a customer or have engaged with us to buy our products (and have not opted out of such communications)
  • to let you know about and invite you to events
  • to administer competitions we run from time to time

We may also use your personal data:

  • for crime and fraud prevention, detection and related purposes
  • to comply with legal and regulatory requirements
  • to assess, operate and improve our website, the services provided through it and customer services
  • where we have a legal right or duty to use or disclose your information (for example in relation to an investigation by a public authority or in a legal dispute)

We may also use your information to create anonymous data (whereby you cannot be identified) for market profiling purposes which may be used by us or third parties.

We will not share your information with third parties in order for that third party to provide direct marketing communications to you, unless you have provided your consent for such use. Such third parties will have their own policies relating to the way in which your information may be used.

In order to make certain services available to you, we may need to share your personal data with some of our service partners. These include IT, delivery, marketing service providers and analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our website and customer service.

We only allow our service providers to handle your personal data when we have confirmed that they apply appropriate data protection and security controls. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers relating to data protection and security, which mean they can only use your data to provide services to us and to you, and for no other purposes. All payments are provided through a trusted third party payment service provider such as Shopify. Shopify acts as Data Controller of your information for the purposes of payments for products.

If you choose to pay using Klarna's payment options, we will pass to Klarna certain aspects of your personal information, such as contact and order details, in order for Klarna to assess whether you qualify for their payment options and to tailor the payment options for you. General information on Klarna you can find here. Your personal data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection law and in accordance with the information in Klarna's privacy statement.

Legal Basis for Using Your Information

We are allowed to use personal information only if we have a proper reason to do so. This includes sharing it with third parties in certain circumstances. The law says we must have one or more of these reasons:

  • To fulfil a contract we have with you
  • When it is our legal duty
  • When it is in our legitimate interest
  • When we have your consent

In general, we only rely on consent as a legal basis for processing in relation to sending direct marketing communications to customers via email, post or text message unless you are a customer or have engaged with us to buy our products, in which case we may rely on the legal basis of legitimate interests to send you such communications. We also use legitimate interest to contact you with targeted advertising delivered online through social media and other online platforms operated by other companies, unless you object. We don't have access to any information held on your social media account.
Customers have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Where consent is the only legal basis for processing, we will cease to process data as soon as we can after consent is withdrawn. Please see the Contact section below.

See Your Privacy Rights regarding how to opt out of direct marketing or object to processing based on legitimate interests and your rights in relation to your personal information in general.

How long do we keep your data?

We will not retain your data for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice. We may also keep it to comply with our legal obligations, respond to queries, resolve disputes, enforce our rights, and pursue our legitimate interests.
Different retention periods apply for different types of data, which are based on criteria including: information we have told you about retention periods on our website or in terms and conditions; applicable contractual provisions; legal statutory limitation periods; applicable regulatory requirements; and industry standards.
