4. How we use your personal data
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we use it:
where we need to perform a contract with you;
where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and your rights do not override those interests; or
where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
We generally do not rely on consent as the legal basis for processing your personal data, except where consent is required for marketing or similar activities. You may withdraw marketing consent at any time.

Marketing
We strive to give you choices regarding marketing and advertising. You will only be subscribed to email or SMS marketing where you have made the relevant choice through our website or otherwise provided the necessary consent.
We will obtain your express opt-in consent before sharing your personal data with any third party for that third party's own marketing purposes.
You can ask us to stop sending marketing messages at any time by using the unsubscribe option in a marketing message or by contacting us.
Cookies
We use strictly necessary cookies to provide core functions such as login, security and shopping-cart functionality. Optional analytics and marketing cookies are only used where you have accepted them through our cookie choices.
If you refuse or block necessary cookies, parts of the website may not function properly. For more information, see our Website Terms of Use.
Change of purpose
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another compatible purpose. If we need to use your data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis.
5. Disclosures of your personal data
We may share your personal data with service providers and other third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this policy. These may include:
Amazon Web Services, for hosting and infrastructure;
Cashflows, for payment processing;
Klaviyo, for email and SMS marketing where enabled and where you have made the relevant marketing choice;
Google, for analytics where optional cookies have been accepted;
Meta, for advertising and measurement where optional cookies have been accepted;
professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants, bankers, auditors and insurers;
HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities where required; and
third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or assets.
We require third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.
6. International transfers
Some of our external service providers are based outside the United Kingdom, so their processing of your personal data may involve a transfer outside the UK.
Whenever we transfer personal data outside the UK, we take steps to ensure an appropriate level of protection is provided, including by using countries recognised as providing an adequate level of protection or using contracts approved for use in the UK.
Please contact us if you would like further information about the specific safeguards used for an international transfer.
7. Data security
We use appropriate security measures to protect personal data against accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
Access to personal data is limited to people and service providers who have a business need to know it and who are required to handle it appropriately.
We have procedures for dealing with suspected personal data breaches and will notify you and any regulator where required by law.
8. Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and reporting requirements.
We may retain data for longer where there is a complaint or a reasonable prospect of litigation.
We consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the data, the risks of harm from misuse or disclosure, the purposes of processing and applicable legal requirements when deciding how long to keep it.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data. We may also anonymise data for research or statistical purposes and use that anonymised information indefinitely.
9. Your legal rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
Request access to your personal data.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Request erasure of your personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue processing it.
Object to processing where we rely on legitimate interests, and object to direct marketing.
Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances.
Request transfer of certain personal data to you or a third party.
Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent.
No fee usually required
You will not usually have to pay a fee to exercise your rights. We may charge a reasonable fee or refuse a request if it is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.
What we may need from you
We may request information to confirm your identity and ensure that personal data is not disclosed to someone who has no right to receive it.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to legitimate requests within one month. It may take longer if a request is particularly complex or you have made several requests, in which case we will keep you informed.
