Types of Information Collected
We collect two types of information:
"Personal Data"
This is data that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you and may include your name, address, email address, user IP addresses and telephone number.
Such information is only collected from you if you voluntarily submit it to us. You may provide this data by entering it at the checkout on our website, entering competitions in-store and online, emailing us, leaving us your contact details in-store, giving contact details for a loyalty card or phoning us with orders.
Registered and Non-registered customers
When you provide your details on the website you can choose to be a registered customer with an account and password or a non-registered customer. You can also choose whether to be added to our mailing list.
Non Registered Customers
If you place an order we will retain your details long enough to ensure the order is complete and there are no enquiries. We will then retain the order details for our records but remove your personal details.
If you do not place an order we will delete your details after a short period of time.
If you have chosen to be included on our mailing list we will leave your name on the list unless you choose to unsubscribe when we send out a newsletter. You can also contact us and ask to be removed from the list.
Registered Customers
If you place an order we will retain your details to facilitate further orders.
If you do not place an order we will delete your details when we think it unlikely that you will place an order.
