This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect your personal information when you use our website, products and services (together, our "Services"). Please read it carefully. By using our Services you agree to the practices described here.

We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our Services:
a. Personal information: your name, email address, phone number, billing and delivery address, and order details when you make a purchase or contact us.
b. Payment information: card and payment details, which are processed securely by our payment providers. We do not store full card numbers ourselves.
c. Usage information: your IP address, device information, browser type and the pages you visit.
d. Cookies and similar technologies: information about how you interact with our website. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings and our cookie banner.

2. How we use your information, and our legal bases
Under UK GDPR we must have a lawful basis for using your personal information. We rely on the following:
a. Performance of a contract: to process and deliver your orders, take payment, and provide customer support.
b. Legitimate interests: to operate, improve and secure our Services, to understand how they are used, and to prevent fraud, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
c. Consent: to send you marketing emails and newsletters, and to set non-essential cookies. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
d. Legal obligation: to meet our legal, tax and accounting responsibilities.

3. Sharing your information
We may share your personal information with:

Some of our service providers may process personal information outside the UK. Where they do, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as a UK adequacy decision or UK-approved standard contractual clauses.

5. How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, including to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements. Order and transaction records are generally kept for six years to comply with UK tax law.

6. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. However, no transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is entirely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
