PRIVACY POLICY

How long we keep your personal information

 

We will only keep your personal information for so long as it is necessary for the purpose for which is was collected and for us to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations. We maintain retention records of how long information containing personal data will be retained for.

At the end of the respective retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymised, for example by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.

Some examples of customer data retention periods:

  • Orders - When you place an order, we may keep the personal data you give us for at least six years so we can comply with our legal and contractual obligations.

  • Inactive accounts - If you’ve not used your account or interacted with us for more than three years, your account will be flagged as inactive will be closed and we will delete or anonymise the personal data associated with it.

  • CCTV - CCTV images are automatically deleted after 30 days.

COOKIES

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored by your web browser on your computer or mobile device’s

hard drive. Some cookies are essential for our websites to work, for example to remember

what you have added to your basket while you browse the site. They are useful because they help us to provide you with relevant information, such as remembering what you have in your

wish list or basket when you return to our site. They also allow us to improve the way our

website works.

We also use cookies in some of our emails. They help us to understand a little bit about how

you interact with our emails, and are used to improve our future email communications.

If you have configured your computer to automatically display images, or if you have added

us to your email "address book" (or "safe senders" list), or if you have configured your

computer to have "weak" security, cookies might be set at the same time as you download,

open or read an email from us. If you would prefer for this not to happen, you should disable

the automatic displaying of images, or remove us from your address book or strengthen your

security settings.

 

Types of cookies

1) Session cookies are deleted after each 'session'. When you are browsing our website(s), it

will save information about your activity for the duration of your visit, but the cookie will be

deleted from your computer as soon as you close your browser. Without a session cookie,

each item you place in your shopping basket will disappear by the time you reach the

checkout.

2) Persistent cookies remember you for a set period of time unless you delete your cookies

within this period. On your first visit to our site, you will see the default version of the site.

When you return, the site may have changed, as persistent cookies remember items you have

viewed and whether you logged into or out of your account while on the site.

3) A web beacon is a tiny, invisible image placed within an email message that tells us

whether you have opened an email, how often you have opened it, how you interacted with

the email (such as the time you spent reading the email), which email software and web

browser you used, which device you used and your IP address. We also use web beacons to

help us display emails in the best format for your device.

4) Our emails contain a number of hyperlinks, each of which has a unique tag. When you

click on one of these links you will be automatically redirected to the server of our mailing

company which logs the click. From there you will be redirected to the relevant page on our

website. This process enables us to understand who has clicked through from an email to visit

our website. We use this information to tailor future messages to you.
