This Privacy Policy, along with the Terms and Conditions, is also applicable to any Personal Information which is given by You to Us by post, fax, telephone, mobile messaging, face-to-face, social media or any other channel.

Use of personal information

We collect information through enquiry, registration, newsletter subscription, order forms and social media competitions. We process personal information for the purposes of:

• to contact you about leaving a review on a product once your order has been completed

We will not share your information except where we’re obliged to do so (i.e. a legal request), or when we need to work with a third party or core service provider, for example a delivery service or finance provider. The providers we work with are carefully selected, and we only pass on the information required for them to perform that service on our behalf.

We’ll never sell your information, and we won’t share it with advertisers or ad networks. We’ll always comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 and all other relevant legislation.

The information obtained in this way, which includes demographic data and browsing patterns, is only used in aggregate form, and as such cannot be used to identify you.
