An explanation on the legal basis we rely on
The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including: Consent We can collect and process your data with your consent in certain situations. For example, when you tick a box to subscribe to our email newsletters. When collecting your personal data, we'll always make clear to you which data is necessary in connection with a particular service. Contractual Obligations Your personal data can be collected to comply with our contractual obligations. For example,the details we collect during the registration process like address details means we can deliver your purchase by passing this information to our couriers. Legal Compliance If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data. For example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity to law enforcement. Legitimate Interest We also require your data in line with our legitimate interests which might be reasonably expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact on your rights, freedom or interests. An example of this could be when we use your purchase history to send you or make personalised offers. We also combine the shopping history of different customers to identify trends, develop our services and product range and ensure we offer a personalised shopping experience. We will also use your address details to send you direct marketing information by post, telling you about products and services that we think might interest you.

Who do we share your personal data with?
We sometimes share your personal data with trusted third parties. For example, delivery couriers so they can let you know when your order will be delivered, to help us personalise our offers to you and so on. Here’s the policy we apply to those organisations to keep your data safe and protect your privacy: • We ensure that we provide only the information they need to perform their specific services. • They may only use your data for the exact purposes we specify in our contract with them. • We work closely with them to ensure that your privacy is respected and protected at all times. • If we stop using their services, any of your data held by them will either be deleted or rendered anonymous. Examples of the kind of third parties we work with are: • Operational companies such as delivery couriers. • Direct marketing companies who help us manage our communications with you. • Google/Facebook to show you products that might interest you while you’re browsing the internet. This is based on either your marketing consent or your acceptance of cookies on our websites.

Sharing your data with third parties for their own purposes
We will only do this in very specific circumstances, for example: • For fraud management, we may share information about fraudulent or potentially fraudulent activity in our premises or systems. This may include sharing data about individuals with law enforcement bodies. • We may also be required to disclose your personal data to the police or other enforcement, regulatory or Government body, in your country of origin or elsewhere, upon a valid request to do so. These requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and take the privacy of our customers into consideration. For further information please contact our Data Protection Officer.
Where your data may be processed?
