HOW WE USE YOUR DATA
Data collected by this site is used to:

a. Process, despatch and deliver your orders.
b. Provide legally required documents for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.
c. Email occasional newsletters where you have requested it and have not unsubscribed.
d. Enable contact details to fill in the Checkout to assist with ordering, if you have chosen to register and have logged in.


WHAT DATA WE COLLECT FROM YOU
Personal details required when ordering are your name and address, the name and address for delivery if different, your telephone number and your email address. This information is needed for the processing of your payment by the payment provider, the despatch and delivery of your goods, and for us and the carrier to notify you about delivery and to contact you regarding any problem. We do not request from you, or handle, access or store, any other personal details.


HOW LONG WE KEEP THE DATA
Details are only kept for as long as required to fulfil and deliver orders, meet legal requirements, and to maintain registration details so that you can login and view recent orders if you choose and, if you have requested emails from us about new products and offers, to enable these to be sent by us.


YOUR RIGHTS
You can at any time request your personal details to be deleted. These cannot be deleted from invoices legally required for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), but can be deleted from your registration if registered by deleting the registration, which means the associated orders will also be deleted. The corresponding orders in our offline bookkeeping software can also be deleted.


WHERE DETAILS ARE KEPT
Where you have registered (this is optional) your personal details are stored online securely. Customers who have not registered do not have any contact details stored online. All customers have invoices and their linked customer files stored offline in our bookkeeping software. These have to be kept for at least 5 years for HMRC, but can be deleted after that. If who have agreed to occasional email newsletters your email address is stored offline in a secure file. Your email address is deleted when you unsubscribe or the emails hard bounce, and are deleted if you have not ordered for a number of years. Your orders are stored securely offline in our book-keeping software and securely in our shopping cart software online and offline. These can be deleted by request at any time. The orders are deleted routinely after a couple of years.


THE SECURITY OF YOUR DATA
Your personal details online are entered only on secure pages on our website, with ssl encryption, identified with https and a padlock in the address in your browser. These pages include registration, login and the Checkout. The payment service providers are totally secure. Offline, our computers are protected by firewalls, separate logins for each computer, and separate logins for each relevant item of software, including the shopping cart software and book-keeping software. Anti-virus, malware and intruder detection sofware is continuously running and updated.
