You may provide us with personal information when you or your business interact with us (such as if you use, enquire about or purchase our products or services), and we may collect further information about you online (e.g. through our website or social media) or through our correspondence with you.

Find out more about the purposes for which we use your data by clicking on the headings below. Each section explains the types of data we hold, the purposes for which we use it and our legal basis for using your data in that way.

Customer Relationships – Providing our Products and Services

We use personal information about you when providing our products and services, such as your identity and contact details, information about your relationship with us and any transaction and payment details.

Promotions

We may use your personal information to send you information about products or services that we think may be of interest to you. This may include your identity and contact details as well as information about your relationship or any past transactions with us.

If you choose to subscribe to our marketing communications, you consent to us using your personal information to send you news, updates and promotions.

If you are an individual using your own personal email address and you are not an existing customer, we will not use your personal information for direct marketing purposes unless you give consent, for example, by opting-in to receiving these communications when you submit a contact form on our website.

In other circumstances, we may not require your consent in order to send you information about our products or services – for example, if we contact you at your business email address, or if you are an existing customer.

You can withdraw your consent to receiving these types of communications at any time by unsubscribing, either by using the links in the emails we send to you or by contacting us to request this. If we do not rely on your consent, you may still unsubscribe from these communications in the same way.

Legal Basis: In some circumstances, we rely on your consent in order to use your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
