Relevant Legislation
Along with our commercial and internal computer systems, this website is designed to comply with the following national and international data protection and user privacy legislation:What personal information we collect and why
Here we describe what information is collected and the reasons for collecting it. The categories of information collected are as follows:-
Site Visit Trackers
Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine how many people use our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages, and to track their journey through the website. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser, and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could be used to personally identify you, but Google does not grant us access to this. We consider Google a third-party data processor (see the section below). GA uses cookies, details of which can be found in Google’s developer guides. Our website uses GA’s analytics.js implementation. Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website. In addition to Google Analytics, this website may collect information (held in the public domain) attributed to the IP address of the computer or device that is being used to access it. -

Email Links
We only receive an email when a user sends us an email using an email link. There are no third-party data processors or intermediaries involved. Data is collected within an email and sent to us via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL), meaning the email content is encrypted before being sent across the Internet. Then, our local computers and devices decrypt the email content. -
Revenue Recovery Emails
As part of the revenue recovery model, we work with remarketing service companies to send notification messages if you have abandoned your cart without completing a purchase. This is solely to remind customers to complete the purchase if they wish. Remarketing service companies capture your email ID and cookies in real-time to send an email invitation to complete the transaction if the customer abandons the cart. However, the customer’s email ID is removed from their database as soon as the purchase is completed. -
“Do Not Sell My Data”: Why We Don’t Have It
We do not sell personal information of our customers or individuals under 16 to third-party data collectors, and therefore, the “Do Not Sell My Data” opt-out button is optional on our website. To reiterate, we may collect your data solely for the purpose of completing a service request or for marketing communications.
