Your information
We collect some of your personal information when you place an order; sign up for the newsletter; or sign a contract. Details such as your name, e-mail address, delivery and billing address are stored for fulfilment and tax purposes.
We do not share your data outside of our organisation and the third party services we employ to help us run our business (such as website admin management, accounting etc).
Personal Data is stored on relevant systems such as cloud systems, our website, and 3rd party services where required, which are GDPR compliant.
If we are required by law to share any information, for example an audit request from HMRC, we will notify each party concerned to make them aware.
Personal data that we process for any purpose shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose. By UK law, information required for tax and legal requirements will be held for 7 years. We keep a record of orders you make with us, so we can help deal with any future enquiries, and ensure that we only send you relevant information.
