HOW AND WHY WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we rely on the following legal bases when using your personal data in the following circumstances:

Where it is needed to provide you with our products or services, such as:

  • To manage your orders and provide our services to you:
    Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you, we use your information to perform our services in relation to your purchase or enquiry.
  • To communicate with you and manage our relationship with you:
    Occasionally we may need to contact you by email and/or telephone for administrative or operational reasons, for example in order to send you confirmation of your purchases and your payments.

Please be aware that these communications are not made for marketing purposes and as such, you will continue to receive them even if you opt-out from receiving marketing communications. 

We will also use your personal data if we contact you after you have sent us a request, filled in a web-form through our website or contacted us on social media. 

Your opinion is very important to us, so we may send you an email or SMS to seek your feedback on products purchased or services used.

We will use the communications you exchange with us and the feedback you may provide in order to manage our relationship with you as our customer and to improve our services and experiences for customers. 

  • To personalise and improve your customer experience:
    We may use your personal data in order to tailor our services to your needs and preferences and to provide you with a personalised customer experience. For example, if you inform us about your preferred products, colours or style we will be able to send you inspirational tips and ideas relevant to your interests.

We may also collect information on how you use our website, which pages of our website you visit most, products you search for and what products you buy, in order to understand what you like. We may use this information to tailor the content and offers that you see on our website and, if you have agreed to receive marketing communications, to send you relevant messages that we think you like.

If you are in the process of making a purchase under your account and you leave our website before your order has been placed, we may contact you in order to help you easily complete your purchase.

Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) to do so, such as:

  • To improve our services, fulfil our administrative purposes and protect our business interests:
    The business purposes for which we will use your information include accounting, billing and audit, credit or other payment card verification, fraud screening, security and legal purposes, statistical and marketing analysis, systems testing, maintenance and development.

To carry out monitoring and to keep records of our communications with you and our staff.

For market research and analysis and developing statistics.

  • To inform you about our products, services, news and offers that you may like:
    For direct marketing communications and related profiling to help us to offer you relevant products and services, including deciding whether or not to offer you certain products and services.

    We may send marketing to you by email, post, telephone, SMS, social media and digital channels (for example, using Facebook Custom Audiences and Google Custom Match).

We may send you marketing communications, if you have indicated that you are happy to receive these, for example when you purchase from us online or in-store and you explicitly agree to receive such communications.

Where you have not previously bought from us but have registered your details with us (for example by entering a competition or signing up for a newsletter), we will only send you marketing communications if you opted into receiving marketing at the time and so have given us your express consent (which you may withdraw at any time – see Opting Out below).

If you are happy to receive marketing communications, we will provide you with news from us such as new products that you may be interested in or services that you may like

Please note that we do not share your contact details and other personal data with other companies for marketing purposes.

We may share certain data with third party social media platforms in order to show you targeted ads when you visit them. We do this by:

The use of cookies which capture your visits to our website. Please refer to our Cookies Policy for more information; and

We may also provide these platforms with your email address to create ‘audiences’ of users fitting within a certain demographic/category so that we can target our marketing.

See ‘Opting out’ below for details of how you can adjust your marketing preferences. Our Cookies Policy also explains how you can adjust your cookies preferences.

Where it is needed to comply with our legal obligations, such as:

  • To comply with a legal or regulatory obligation - for example, our legal obligation to provide your information to local law enforcement agencies.

Where it is needed with your consent or explicit consent, such as:

Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. And for some our profiling and other automated decision making.

You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time - by unsubscribing from our marketing newsletters or by updating your Personal Preferences.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may share some of your personal data with, or obtain your personal data from, the following categories of third parties:

Service Providers

We use various suppliers that provide services to us in order to help us run our business and improve your customer experience.  Such companies may include web hosting companies, online cloud services, delivery services, payment processors and customer feedback providers.

These companies use your information on our behalf, and are subject to strict rules they need to adhere to in order to process your information.
