Introduction
We will only use your Personal Data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your Personal Data in the following circumstances:

◾ To allow you to register an account
◾ To perform a contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you
◾ If it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and these are not overridden by your own rights and interests
◾ Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Lawful processing
In order to process personal data, we must have a lawful reason (sometimes called a lawful basis). We always ensure that this is the case, and we set out our lawful bases below – but please note that more than one may apply at any given time: for example, if we inform you of changes to our privacy notice, we may process your personal data on the ground of complying with the law and on the ground of legitimate interests.

We will use your personal data only for the purposes for which we collected it unless we fairly consider that we need it for another reason that is compatible with the original purpose.

Please contact us if you would like more information on this, and on situations in which more than one lawful basis applies.

Contractual Necessity
If you are our customer or applying for a job, we will process your personal data for the following purposes, on the legal basis that it is necessary for us to provide our products and services to you:

◾ To enable us to carry out our services
◾ To identify you
◾ To respond to your inquiries
◾ To allow you to register an account or set up a wish list
◾ To the extent necessary to provide you with information you have requested in relation to our products and services before you decide to purchase them
◾ To provide our products and services, including enabling them to be delivered to you and contacting you about your order (for example, regarding stock or availability)
◾ To carry out billing and administration activities, including refunds and credits
◾ To evaluate your job application and take any next steps, and to evaluate your suitability for roles where you have asked to be considered for future opportunities.
◾ Of course, you are not obliged to provide us with any of this information, but if you chose not to, we may be unable to provide the product or service that you have requested.

Legitimate Interests
We process your personal information for our legitimate business purposes, which include the following:

◾ To conduct and manage our business
◾ To identify suspicious purchasing activity (for example, where a card has been used for high-volume and/or high-value purchases or where cardholder and deliver addresses differ) – however, we do not make automated decisions on the basis of such profiling
◾ To ensure our website and systems are secure (for example, by conducting security penetration tests on our website to ensure our security tools are effective)
◾ To personalise your web experience – for example, by tailoring our products and offers to you
◾ To allow you to review a product you have purchased
◾ To analyse, improve and update our services for the benefit of our customers
◾ To deal with complaints
◾ Where you have made a purchase from us, to let you know about our products, services, promotions or events that we consider may be of interest to you (and which may be tailored to your interests as construed from your purchase history).
◾ We carry out this processing on the legal basis that we have a legitimate interest in marketing our products and services, and only to the extent that we are permitted to do so by applicable direct marketing laws. You can opt-out of receiving this information by unsubscribing from our emails, by returning our catalogues to the address indicated, or by contacting us as set out in the Who We Are section above.

Whenever we process your personal data for these purposes, we ensure that your interests, rights, and freedoms are carefully considered.

Compliance with laws
We may process your personal data in order to comply with applicable laws (for example, if we are required to co-operate with an investigation pursuant to a court order).

Consent
If you have never purchased from us or have not purchased from us for a long time, but have given us your explicit consent to hear from us about our products, services, promotions, or events that we consider may be of interest to you, we will contact you by post or email (according to the contact preference you have provided). You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party sites or services.

We won’t process data for any longer than is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

We will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

If you have opted out of marketing communications we will no longer send you emails and we will retain a copy of your data solely for the purposes of ensuring you are no longer sent marketing communications.
