1. What we collect

We may ask you for and store the following information:

• Name
• Contact information including email address
• Demographic information such as preferences and interests
• Other information relevant to customer surveys and/or offers

For the exhaustive list of cookies we collect see the List of cookies we collect section.

2. What we do with the information we gather

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

• Internal record keeping.
• We may use the information to improve our products and services.
• We may periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided.
• From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes. We may contact you by email, phone, fax or mail. We may use the information to customise the website according to your interests.

3. Payment Details

We do not under any circumstances store any credit card details. We use Checkout.com to process all credit card transactions and payments. During the checkout process, the fields used to enter credit card details are supplied by Checkout.com and do not reside on our web servers. We receive a status message from Checkout.com indicating whether a payment was successful or not. Checkout.com is Level 1 PCI compliant meaning you can have peace of mind knowing that you're shopping safely. Adding this level of separation between our website and credit card processing protects our customers and provides security.

4. Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
