If you do so, note that some parts of the website may not function properly. See our Cookie Policy here.

Communication and Marketing

If you have subscribed to our newsletter or elected to receive marketing text messages, entered any of our competitions or advised us of your email address, postal address and telephone number, you consent to receive communication from us about our latest news and special offers. Our emails and sms messages refer to the products and services we offer, which we think may be of interest to you. Message frequency may vary.

How long will we keep your data?

We take steps to ensure that your personal information is retained for only as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. After this period it will be deleted or in some cases anonymised. Where we have collected the personal information based on your consent and we have no other lawful basis to continue with that processing, if you subsequently withdraw your consent then we will delete your personal information.

We will typically keep your personal data for seven (7) years from (a) the closure of your account with us or (b) to enable us to deal with any issues or concerns you may have about how we handled your account/ order, and also to allow us to bring or defend legal or regulatory proceedings.

We follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access in accordance with the UK data protection legislation.

With new GDPR rules in place, we only send emails to people who’ve opted-in to receive messages. While this was already the case, we have further specified the nature of consent that’s required for commercial communication, from 25th May 2018 consent has to be “freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous”. This means that within the signup process we will always inform subscribers detailed description of what they are signing up for and provide an easy opt-out option. All of our employees and data processors, who have access to, and are associated with the processing of personal data, are obliged to respect the confidentiality of our visitor’s personal data.
