You have rights to change how we use your personal information, which can be found in the “Your choices about your personal information” section.

Please remember that if you choose not to share your personal information with us, you might not receive some of the services that you have asked for.

We may also use your personal information:

Where necessary for the purposes of providing you with our goods and services, for example:

To administer your order and respond to any queries or complaints. We may also retain this information for use during any future correspondence you may have with us. We may pass this information on to our trusted partners to assist you with your query or complaint.

To process refund requests.

For our legitimate interests in promoting and managing our business for example:

  • To administer any of our prize draws or competitions that you have entered.
  • Unless you have opted out, to send you email, SMS/text message or other electronic mail to inform you about other products or services provided by us that are similar to those that you have already agreed to, requested or enquired about.
  • To improve our website. To help us optimise your online customer experience we may collect information about the way you use our website. We may also employ one of our trusted partners to help us look at this information. This is explained in the “Cookies” section below.
  • To protect our business and you from fraud or any other illegal activities. We may pass this information on to other trusted partners or law enforcement agencies to use in the same way.

Where our use of your personal information is not necessary for one of the purposes outlined above we may seek your consent to use it in a particular way, for example:

Email Tracking

To ensure that you receive messages that are relevant to you and personalised to your interests and experience, we add a pixel to our emails which helps us understand behaviours and personalise our campaigns.

Pixels are simply tiny images – which gives us insight into what you do with our emails, for example if it is delivered to your inbox, if you open it, mark it as spam or unsubscribe or if you click through to our website or an offer. Additionally, it also tells us the type of device you use to open the email and where you are in the case of open or click (by IP address and ‘best estimate’ geo location based on that IP).

By having this insight, it helps us deliver, what we hope, to be relevant content that is engaging to you enabling us to send you emails you hope to receive from us, when you want to receive them.

When you elect to receive marketing emails from us you are also consenting to us tracking these emails as described above. If you do not wish to have this tracking applied then you can elect not to receive our marketing emails or control this with your own email settings.
