Naturally, if you are not happy with this Privacy Policy you should not use this website.

By visiting this website, you are accepting the terms of this Privacy Policy. Any external links to other websites are clearly identifiable as such, and we are not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of these other websites.

What data do we collect?

Personal Data

This is data that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you and may include your name, address, email address, telephone number and billing information.

Such information is only collected from you only if you voluntarily submit it to us.

Non-Personal Data

Like most websites, we gather statistical and other analytical information (via cookies) collected on an aggregate basis of all visitors to our website.

This non-personal data comprises information that cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information, e.g. user IP addresses where they have been clipped or anonymised, browser types and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our website.

Why do we collect it?

Personal Data

We will process any personal data you provide to us for the following purposes:

  • to provide you with the goods or services you have ordered;
  • to contact you if required in connection with your order or to respond to any communications you might send to us;
  • to keep you informed of updates to our services

Non-Personal Data

We use the non-personal data gathered from visitors to our website in an aggregate form to get a better understanding of where our visitors come from and to help us better design and organise our website.

Who will we share data with?

We may provide non-personal data to third parties, where such information is combined with similar information of other users of our website.

For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of unique users who visit our website, the demographic breakdown of our community users of our website, or the activities that visitors to our website engage in while on our website.

The third parties to whom we may provide this information may include commercial partners, sponsors, licensees, researchers and other similar parties.

We will not disclose your Personal Data to third parties unless you have consented to this disclosure or unless the third party is required for us to provide you with a service.

In all such circumstances, the third party is bound by similar data protection requirements, and your data is not used for any purpose unconnected with the service you purchase from us.

We will disclose your Personal Data if we believe in good faith that we are required to disclose it in order to comply with any applicable law, a summons, a search warrant, a court or regulatory order, or other statutory requirement.

Where is your data stored?

Your Personal Data is held on our secure hardware (e.g. computers, servers, drives). The nature of the Internet is such that we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us via the Internet. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. However, we will take all reasonable steps (including appropriate technical and organisational measures) to protect your Personal Data.

Transfer of data due to sale

We reserve the right to transfer information (including your Personal Data) to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, receivership or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of our company provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of the Privacy Policy and provided that the third party only uses your Personal Data for the purposes that you provided it to us. You will be notified in the event of any such transfer and you will be afforded an opportunity to opt-out.

Changes to the policy

Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on this website so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

If at any time we decide to use Personal Data in a manner significantly different from that stated in this Privacy Policy, or otherwise disclosed to you at the time it was collected, we will notify you by email, and you will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in the new manner.
