Privacy issues are very important to us, we are committed to protecting your privacy.

Use of Personal Data

We will collect information and use it for the following purposes:

When placing an order with us we need to know your name, e-mail address, delivery address, credit or debit card number and the card's expiry date. We use this information to process your order, for credit purposes, marketing, market research and analysis and to notify you of the status of your order.
We also ask you for your telephone number, which enables us to contact you urgently in the event of a problem or query with your order.
 
We may also use the information that we collect from you to notify you from time to time about functionality changes to our website, the service that we provide and details of special or promotional offers.

Protection of Personal Data

We have taken every possible precaution to create a secure environment to protect the personal information supplied by you to us when making an order. When an order is placed we offer the use of a secure service. Essentially we have adopted the industry standard encryption methods in that the secure service software (SSL) encrypts all information input before it is sent to us. In order to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 and for maximum peace of mind we can advise that we have implemented strict security procedures in relation to the storage and disclosure of information which you have given to us for the purpose of preventing unauthorised access. For security reasons and to protect your right to privacy we may occasionally request proof of identity from you before disclosing any sensitive information to you.
