How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect about you in the following ways:

To provide, operate, and maintain our website and services, including processing your orders, managing your account, and delivering the products you have requested. We use your contact information to communicate with you about your orders, respond to your enquiries, and provide customer support.

To improve, personalise, and expand our website and services based on user feedback and behaviour patterns. We analyse usage data to understand which features are most valuable to our customers and identify areas for enhancement.

To understand and analyse how you use our website, which helps us develop new products, services, features, and functionality that better serve your needs.

To communicate with you directly or through our partners for customer service purposes, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the website, and for marketing and promotional purposes where you have consented to receive such communications.

To send you administrative information, such as updates to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information may be important, you may not opt out of receiving these communications.

To prevent fraudulent transactions, monitor against theft, and protect against criminal activity. We may use your information to verify your identity and ensure the security of our platform.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal grounds:

Performance of a contract: When you place an order with us, we process your personal data to fulfil that contract and deliver the products you have purchased.

Legitimate interests: We process certain data based on our legitimate business interests, such as improving our services, conducting analytics, and ensuring the security of our website. We always balance these interests against your rights and freedoms.

Consent: Where required by law, we obtain your explicit consent before processing your personal data, particularly for marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.

Legal obligations: We may process your data to comply with legal requirements, such as tax and accounting obligations.

Sharing Your Information

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

With service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing assistance. These service providers are contractually obligated to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us and are required to maintain the confidentiality and security of your information.

With business partners to offer you certain products, services, or promotions, but only where you have consented to such sharing.

To comply with legal obligations, including responding to lawful requests from public authorities, such as to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, or violations of our terms of service.

In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company. In such cases, we will ensure that the receiving party agrees to treat your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The criteria we use to determine retention periods include the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you, whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject, and whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position.

When we no longer need your personal information, we will securely delete or anonymise it. If this is not possible, we will securely store your information and isolate it from further use until deletion is possible.
