When Do We Share Your Information?

We will not sell, share, rent or trade your personal information with any third parties other than those we’ve described in this policy. We want you to fully understand how and with whom we might share your information.

We may share your personal data with:

  • Authorized third party vendors to facilitate orders, payments, deliveries, and related services.
  • Service providers under contract who help with parts of our business operations (fraud prevention, marketing, technology services etc). They are only allowed to use your information to provide services to us and under strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Law enforcement, government authorities, and other regulators when we are required to provide information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process. We also share data when necessary to comply with laws that require reporting of certain types of information.
  • Financial institutions and payment providers that process credit card payments.
  • Third parties as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction. In the event of these types of transactions, your personal data will most likely be shared but remains subject to this policy and applicable laws. You will be notified if any changes are made to data use practices.
  • Other third parties with your consent or as directed by you.

We will not share the following data with third parties:

  • Financial account details (such as full payment card data, bank account numbers)

We only allow third party vendors and service providers to handle your personal information if they agree to comply with strict confidentiality and security contractual obligations. We take reasonable steps to enforce vendors’ privacy and security practices.

How Do We Store and Protect Your Information?

We aim to have appropriate physical and technological security measures in place to protect your information across all our systems. However, while we try our best to protect your personal information once received, no transmission of data over the Internet or via mobile networks can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

The main ways we store your information are:

  • On secure servers behind firewalls. Only authorized individuals with the right credentials can access these servers and any data stored on them.
  • On protected back-ups. Back-ups receive similar protection as our live databases. Regular testing ensures they can be restored if ever needed.
  • On secure paper records. Any paper records such as application forms or provided documents are always kept in locked filing cabinets within access-controlled rooms or storage facilities.
  • On encrypted drives and devices. Where data needs to be downloaded locally on mobile or other devices, encryption is used to provide a further layer of protection for your information.

We ensure reasonable security standards through a combination of technical measures (such as firewalls, encryption, access controls) and organizational measures (such as staff vetting, privacy training, policy reviews).

However, while we strive to protect your personal information, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that information you provide won’t be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet or wireless communication networks. Any transmission is ultimately at your own risk.

International Data Transfers

We are a global business and so it may sometimes be necessary to transfer your personal data between countries. Where European Economic Area (EEA) data is transferred outside the EEA, and where this is to a country not considered by the EU Commission to provide an adequate level of data protection, the transfers will be subject to appropriate safeguards put in place to protect your personal data. For example by ensuring similar standards of data security are adopted and enforced by the recipient to those required within the EEA. Please contact us if you would like further details on the specific mechanism used when transferring your personal data in these cases.

Data Retention: How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain your personal data for the minimum amount of time necessary to fulfil our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Main retention periods include:

  • Customer account data: Retained for at least 5 years after last customer interaction
  • Marketing data: Kept until you unsubscribe or opt-out
  • Sales transactions: Kept for 7 years as required by tax authority
  • Support tickets: Kept for 3 years after last reply from our support team
  • Security footage: Kept for 1 month unless an incident occurs – then kept for duration of investigation
  • Paper documents: Kept for duration of customer relationship then destroyed securely
  • Backup systems: Backups are encrypted and kept for 3 months

After expiration of the retention periods, your personal data will be deleted completely. If you request deletion of your account and associated personal data, please allow up to 30 days for us to fully process your request.

You have specific rights relating to your personal data under European Economic Area (EEA) privacy laws. These include rights to:

  • Request access to your data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”)
