The data we hold
We hold the following data on you, for as long as we have a purchasing relationship with you, unless we are required by law to hold it for longer, e.g. litigation.
Our website uses cookies to collect information about our site and how it’s being used. No personal data (such as your IP address) is collected.
Unless you have adjusted your web browser settings (if and where possible) to refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon as you visit our website or related online services.
Using Your Information
The cookies collected when you visit our site are used to help you navigate it, improving your experience.
We use cookies to collect information about our website’s activity such as which pages are being viewed, the number of people accessing the website and what type of devices are being used to access to the website (e.g. mobile phone, computers).

Managing our relationship with you
We will use your data to manage our relationship with you, to enquire about/buy products and services from you, and to pay you.
We need to use your details to enter into and perform contracts with you, as well as keeping track of what we have agreed – a legitimate thing for a business to do.
If we contact you using these details for marketing purposes (which we may do if we think you will be interested in the goods and services that we provide), we will always abide by the PECR (The privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/what-are-pecr/) which means we will only phone you if you are not on a suppression list and email you if you are an existing customer or a corporation.
Transfers of your data
Your bank details and bureaux number will be transferred to the bank by our finance team to fulfil our contract with you/make payment, however this data is not transferred outside of the UK.
We do have a small number of companies providing services to us. These are our processors and in line with our obligations, we have confirmed that they all adhere to the GDPR.
All our employees are privacy trained.
We work hard to protect you and your information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction and have several layers of security measures in place, including:
Your rights
You also have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing with a supervisory authority — in the UK that is the ICO whose details are here: https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/postal-addresses/
