How we protect your personal data
We know how much data security matters to all our customers. With this in mind we will treat your data with the utmost care and take all appropriate steps to protect it.
We secure access to all transactional areas of our websites and apps using ‘https’ technology. Credit/debit card details are not held on our system which uses an external payment gateway for maximum security. If requested by our staff for manual processing they are destroyed following completion of payment.
Access to your personal data is password-protected, and sensitive data (such as payment card information) is secured by SSL encryption.
We regularly monitor our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we carry out penetration testing to identify ways to further strengthen security and we are PCI DSS compliant.
How long will we keep your personal data?
Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
At the end of that retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymised, for example by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.
Who do we share your personal data with?
We sometimes share limited personal data with trusted third parties. For example, delivery couriers, suppliers, service engineers, fraud management, complaint handling, EDI portals, distributors.
We provide only the information they need to perform their specific services. We ensure these companies have declared a commitment to complying with GDPR and PECR.
Examples of the kind of third parties we work with are:
IT companies who support our website and other business systems.
Operational companies such as delivery couriers.
Companies who help us manage our electronic communications with you, such as survey tools, email engines, sales tools.

We do not share your data with third parties for their own purposes:
For fraud management, we may share information about fraudulent or potentially fraudulent activity in our premises or systems. This may include sharing data about individuals with law enforcement bodies.
We may also be required to disclose your personal data to the police or other enforcement, regulatory or Government body, in your country of origin or elsewhere, upon a valid request to do so. These requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and take the privacy of our customers into consideration.
We may, from time to time, expand, reduce or sell the company and this may involve the transfer of divisions or the whole business to new owners. If this happens, your personal data will, where relevant, be transferred to the new owner or controlling party, under the terms of this Privacy Notice.
A list of the companies we share data with is available on request.
Where your personal data may be processed
Sometimes we will need to share your personal data with third parties and suppliers outside the European Economic Area (EEA). For example a direct shipment from the USA may require personal data to be transferred to the supplier who will be under the same obligations under GDPR as you are a citizen of the EEA.
