We may process this data to allow you to buy items you have had in your basket and make returns, both of which are essential to fulfilling our contract with you. The process of this data may also be used to find out trends of purchase and what you, amongst other customers, purchase, which in turn helps us in the proper administration of our website and business.

This may include IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths, as well as information about the timing, frequency and pattern of your service use. The source of the usage data is Google Analytics & Shopify Platform.

Information received from surveys or competitions
We’ve got to process this data to allow the survey or competition to work and perform our contract with you (the one that is started when you enter into a competition for example). If we can’t use your entry, you can’t possibly win!

Retention & deletion of your personal data
We take appropriate measures to ensure that any personal data is kept secure and is kept for only so long as is necessary for the purpose for which it is used.
To unsubscribe from marketing communication you can click onto the "unsubscribe" link in any communication that we send to you by email which will automatically unsubscribe you from that type of communication.

Each "unsubscribe" link only relates to that specific type of communication (e.g. marketing communications or survey communications). This means that unsubscribing from marketing communications will not automatically unsubscribe you from our survey communications (or vice versa). Please also note that you may continue to receive communications which are already on route to you for a short period of time while your relevant unsubscribe request is being processed.
