5) Marketing: How to manage the marketing messages you receive
We may send you marketing communications by email if you have indicated that you are happy to receive such emails [or if you have placed an order with us and you have not told us that you no longer wish to receive marketing emails]. Our marketing communications include information about our new and existing products, special offers we think you might like and articles or news which we think might interest you.
You can opt out of receiving marketing emails at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link which we include in all our marketing emails.
Please note that if you tell us that you do not wish to receive marketing emails, you will still receive service emails which are necessary for example to confirm your order or to update you on the status of your parcel delivery. We will use the contact details you give us when you place your order (either your mobile telephone number, your email address or both). This is so that we can perform the contract we have with you.
Please note that if you ask us to stop sending marketing emails, we will keep a note of your personal information and your request so that we can make sure you are excluded from the emails when they are sent out.
6) How long we keep your data
We keep your data only for as long as we need it. How long we need data depends on what we are using it for, whether that is to provide your order to you, for our own legitimate interests (described above) or so that we can comply with the law.
We will actively review the information we hold and when there is no longer a customer, legal or business need for us to hold it, we will either delete it securely or in some cases anonymise it.
7) How we protect your data
We protect your personal data against unauthorised access, unlawful use, accidental loss, corruption or destruction.
We use technical measures such as encryption (SSL) to protect your data and the systems they are held in. We also use operational measures to protect the data, for example by limiting the number of people who have access to the databases in which information is held.
We keep these security measures under review and refer to industry security standards to keep up to date with current best practice.
8) Sharing your data
We share some of your personal data with, or obtain personal data from, the following categories of third parties:
- Government authorities such as Trading Standards: We sometimes have to provide your personal data to trading standards to illustrate compliance with our legal and regulatory obligations.
- Suppliers who provide services to us: For example, we will share your data with the company which delivers your parcel. We will make sure that our suppliers respect your personal data and comply with data protection laws.
- Data analytics companies and advertisers: Depending on your cookies settings we may share a limited and pseudonymised (or partially anonymised) version of your data with other advertisers, or add to your data other information which we have received from third party advertisers. For more information about this process, please see our Cookies Policy.
- Your credit and debit card information: In order to process payments and prevent and detect fraud, we process payment card data through our payment card and fraud management services providers.
9) Sending data outside of the European Economic Area
We will only send data outside of the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) to work with our agents who we use to deliver services to you or to comply with a legal duty. If we do transfer data outside the EEA, we will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it were being used in the EEA.

You can object to our use of your data where we rely on our legitimate interests to do so. We explained the legitimate interests we rely in the table above under the heading ‘How we use your personal data’.
When you get in touch, we will come back to you as soon as possible and where possible within one month. If your request is more complicated, it may take a little longer to come back to you but we will come back to you within two months of your request. There is no charge for most requests, but if you ask us to provide a significant about of data for example we may ask you to pay a reasonable admin fee. We may also ask you to verify your identity before we provide any information to you.
