We do this on the basis that it is required for us to fulfil our contract with you and also to meet our legitimate business interests. Contractual necessity, includes identifying you, allowing you to register and set up an account on our website, providing requested services, e.g order processing, and responding to enquiries you may have.

We have to share some of your personal data with third parties. When we process an order this involves sharing information with payment service providers [who process the payment] and couriers [who deliver the order to you] and our independent review partner.

By clicking on these links or enabling the connections, this may allow third parties to collect or share data about you.
