Privacy Policy
Introduction
This privacy notice aims to inform you about how we collect and process any information that we collect from you, or that you provide to us. It covers information that could identify you (“personal information”) and information that could not. In the context of the law and this notice, “process” means collect, store, transfer, use or otherwise act on information. It tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. Our policy is not just an exercise in complying with the law, but a continuation of our respect for you and your personal information.
We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of all information you provide to us and hope that you reciprocate.
Our policy complies with the Protection of Personal Information Act 2013.
The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you in regard to the processing and control of your personal information.
Except as set out below, we do not share, sell, or disclose to a third party any information collected through our website.
Information we process
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal information about you. We have collated these into groups as follows:
Your identity includes information such as first name, last name, title, date of birth, and other identifiable information that you may have provided at some time.
​
Your contact information includes information such as billing address, delivery address, email address, telephone numbers and any other information you have given to us for the purpose of communication or meeting.
Technical information includes your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.
We may aggregate anonymous information such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Anonymous information is information that does not identify you as an individual. Aggregated information may be derived from your personal information but is not considered personal information in law because it does not reveal your identity.
For example, we may aggregate profile information to assess interest in a product or service.
However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal information so that it can identify you in any way, we treat the combined data as personal information, and it will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

Information relating to your method of payment
Payment information is never taken by us or transferred to us either through our website or otherwise. Our employees and contractors never have access to it.
At the point of payment, you are transferred to a secure page on the website of [WorldPay / OPayo / PayPal] or some other reputable payment service provider. That page may be branded to look like a page on our website, but it is not controlled by us.
Communicating with us

We record your request and our reply to increase the efficiency of our business.
