If you are in the EEA, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally only process personal information from you:
• For the performance of our contract with you (for example: to process and deliver your order)
• Where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (for example to: keep our records updated; study how customers use our products/services, grow our business and inform our marketing strategy; send business to business marketing emails; provide administration, IT services and network security; prevent fraud)
• To comply with a legal obligation (for example: to notify you about changes to our terms or privacy policy)
• Where we have your consent (although generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data)

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

4.  Controlling information about you

We do not, and will not, sell your personal data to a third party.
We will share your data with certain recipients as an essential part of being able to provide you with products and services and to enable us to run our business effectively. Such recipients include:

• Trusted third party services providers and partners, for example: those who help us run our business (for example, companies that provide support for our website and internal IT systems) or those who help us get our products to you (for example, a courier company that delivers the products you have ordered or a distributor who operates in a country we do not sell to directly). We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.
• Our group companies, as sometimes our affiliates are responsible for different activities that are relevant to our relationship with you.
• Any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person
• A potential buyer (and its agents and advisers) in connection with any proposed purchase, merger or acquisition of any part of our business, provided that we inform the buyer it must use your personal information only for the purposes disclosed in this privacy notice; and
• Any other person where you have given your consent to the disclosure.


5. 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 that we collect and process.
All web pages transmitting personal or financial information are encrypted from your PC to our servers using the standard known as HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure). We also have encrypted connections to our administration interface as well as between internal services within the company.
Only employees who will perform a specific job (eg billing or customer service) will have access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers used to store personally identifiable information are stored in a secure environment.
It is your responsibility to safeguard any passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features associated with your use of the Site.
Depending upon the legal basis of processing your information your email address may be forwarded to Mailjet who provide us with email marketing services. We consider Mailjet to be a third party data processor. Your email address will remain within Mailjets database for as long as we continue to use Mailjet’s services for email marketing or until you specifically request removal from the list. You can do this by unsubscribing using the unsubscribe links contained in any email newsletters that we send you or by requesting removal via email. When requesting removal via email, please send your email to us using the email account that is subscribed to the mailing list.
Should you choose to contact us using the contact form on our Contact Pages, or an email link, none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website or passed to / be processed by any of the third party data processors mentioned. Instead the data will be collated into an email and sent to us.

6. Our third party data processors

We use a number of third parties to process personal data on our behalf.
• Google (Privacy policy)
• Mailjet (Privacy policy)


7. Retention of Information

We will retain your personal information as long as it is required for the purposes for which it is used, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Upon request we will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your personal information. To make a request to have personal information maintained by us returned to you or removed please contact us using the contact details provided under the How to contact us heading below.
You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. See our section on Marketing, above.

Please note we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to exercise your data protection rights. This is a security measure to ensure that your personal data is not disclosed to any person who does not have a right to receive it.
We will report any unlawful data breach of this website’s database or the database(s) of any of our third party data processors to any and all relevant persons and authorities within 72 hours of the breach if it is apparent that personal data stored in an identifiable manner has been stolen.
