We will collect information that you submit to us in order for us to provide you with the services offered.

Should you order from us, this will include your name, email address, telephone number and address information

We will hold your order history on file (which will include your contact details). If at any point you want us to delete your name or email address, we will do so immediately, please just email us at [email protected].

What we do with the information we gather

We require this information to fulfil the orders you place with us, understand your needs and provide you with a better service, in particular:

  • Internal record keeping as required by law.
  • To confirm your order, confirm order despatch, deliver your order or confirm a refund where applicable.
  • To assist you with any queries concerning your order or any other query.
  • To send you information regarding our company and products that we believe to be of interest to you but only if you signed up to our newsletter by choice.

Who we share your information with

In order to run our business and provide our services to you, we work with a few third-party vendors, who help us to complete the functions outlined above. They include:

1) Our payments provider, PayPal, who enable us to take payments from you, our customers.

2) Shipping couriers and carriers like Royal Mail and DHL who we use to get your delivery to you from our warehouse.

3) Where we have your consent, marketing and survey providers like Mail Chimp, Facebook, Google and Trust Pilot. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by emailing us at [email protected] and we will remove you from our marketing lists.
