People are always worried about entering their personal information online, my old man is case-in-point. He won’t order anything online, it’s all over the phone – but he’s old school, he still balances his company books with a big file ledge sheet and his trusty ‘biro’.

But we realise it is a very real threat nowadays and your privacy is very important to us. So what we can promise is that we take every precaution necessary to ensure all your details are as safe as can be. We firmly believe in your privacy and the security of your personal information. Information entered on the site, whether it’s for an order or for the mailing list, is not sold, rented or distributed to anyone. All personal information is exchanged using SSL, which protects against any access by third parties.

Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate, disclose and make use of personal information:

Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected. We will collect and use personal information solely with the objective of fulfilling those purposes specified by us and for other compatible purposes, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law. We will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfilment of those purposes. We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned.

You are welcome to contact us at any time to access and update your personal information or to opt out of receiving further communications. Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.

Unless your consent is withdrawn in writing, you agree to us disclosing any of your information:

• to give effect to or enforce our obligations under this agreement or a finance agreement; or
• when authorised by you or required by law;
• to assess your credit worthiness.
• we will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
