  • Legitimate interests: We may use your personal data where it is necessary to conduct our business and pursue our legitimate interests, for example to prevent fraud and enable us to give you the best and most secure customer experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights (both positive and negative) before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).
  • Legal obligation: We may use your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to. We will identify the relevant legal obligation when we rely on this legal basis.
  • Consent: We rely on consent only where we, or the person/entity providing us with the personal data, have obtained your active agreement to use your personal data for a specified purpose, for example if you subscribe to an email newsletter.

Purposes for which we will use your personal data

How we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data for the purpose for which we collected it which includes the following:

  • To register you as a new customer, which is necessary in the performance of a contract with you.
  • To process and deliver our services which is necessary in the performance of a contract with you, or for the users of our site, and for our legitimate interest (for example, to recover debts due to us).

  • If you are subscribed, to send you relevant marketing communications via our newsletter, and to recommend products or services which may be of interest to you which are necessary for our legitimate interest (to develop our products/services and grow our business and to understand the effectiveness of the advertising we serve to you).

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

Opting out of marketing

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.

5. Disclosures of your personal data

If you have been sent a link to access our site, as requested by one of our users, by entering your personal data on the site, that user will be given access to the personal data you upload. That user will be the controller of the personal data and you should contact them to ascertain how they will use your personal data.

Notwithstanding the above and as set out in this policy, we will not pass on your personal details to any third party, including site sponsors or advertisers, without your consent. We may provide aggregate statistics about our users, sales, traffic patterns and related site information to our third-party partners (if any), but these statistics will not contain any information about you from which you could be identified.

6. International transfers

Our site enables users to communicate and share personal data with other users, including those located outside the UK. You are responsible for ensuring that you are satisfied that you understand how the user will use your personal data. You share your personal data with the user at your own discretion and we are not responsible or liable for the actions of the users in relation to the personal data, whether or not in the UK.

If we are to transfer your personal data out of the UK (other than if we are doing so solely on the instructions of the controller, then such will be the controller’s responsibility), we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data or otherwise ensure that the transfer is effected in accordance with applicable data protections laws.
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

7. Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

8. Data retention

How long will you use my personal data for?

We will not hold onto your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, reporting, or support requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means and the applicable legal requirements.

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including contact, identity and financial information and transaction data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data. You can exercise this right at any time by contacting the DPO (see below).

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

We will take all reasonable steps to destroy or erase from our system, all data which is no longer required.

9. Your legal rights

You have a number of rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

You have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data.

  • Request erasure of your personal data.
  • Object to processing of your personal data.
  • Request restriction of processing your personal data.
  • Request transfer or your personal data.
  • Right to withdraw consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact the DPO (see below).

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

10. Contact details

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or about the use of your personal data or you want to exercise your privacy rights, please contact our DPO in the following ways:

11. Complaints

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.

12. Changes to the privacy policy and your duty to inform us of changes

We keep our privacy policy under regular review. This version was last updated on 01 June 2025. Historic versions can be obtained by contacting us.
