We collect information about you for 2 reasons: firstly, to process your order and second, to provide you with the best possible service.

Information We Process Because We Have a Contractual Obligation With You (i.e. you have placed an order)

When you create an account on our website, buy a product or service from us, or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us. In order to carry out our obligations under that contract we must process the information you give us. Some of this information may be personal information.

We may use it in order to:
1.1.   verify your identity for security purposes
1.2.   sell products to you
1.3.   provide you with our services
1.4.   provide you with suggestions and advice on products, services and how to obtain the most from using our website

We process this information on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you have requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract.
Additionally, we may aggregate this information in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor our performance with respect to a particular service we provide. If we use it for this purpose, you as an individual will not be personally identifiable. We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.

The information collected from you at the time you place an order will be stored in our database. The type of information we will collect about you includes:

your name/recipient's name
billing address/delivery address
