- Cookies: we’ve set out more details about cookies below, but these small text files can help improve your experience with the Website and make it easier to interact with us.

This prevents you from re-entering information between sessions, or ensures that items you wish to order don’t disappear as you navigate between pages on our Website;

WHAT DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION FOR?
To make our Website work and to optimize your experience we need to use the information that we collect in many different ways. The key purposes for which we use your information are as follows:
- To administer, maintain, and optimize our Website, our services and your experience: we want you to have the best experience possible when you interact with us when you use our Website, our services or when you visit our facilities. To do this, we use your information (including log data, statistical information, and device information) to ensure that the Website and its features are functioning correctly, to adapt and customize our Website to better suit your preferences and to provide pages specific to your language or location. We may also work with selected third parties to enrich, match or combine some of your information to provide you with customized offers and personalized services;
- To provide you with customer services: if you contact our customer services team or provide us with feedback for any reason, whether by email, phone, chat, or otherwise, we will use your information (including your name, phone number, and email address) to help us categorize the communication, respond to you, and where appropriate, investigate, and resolve any issue or incident that you may have;
- To advertise and promote our Website, products, services and brand: where you give consent, we may use images of you on our Website, and social media sites (e.g. Instagram) to promote our products, services and brand;
- To carry out research, analysis, and surveys on your use of our Website, and views: where you have opted in to receive communications from us, we may use your personal details (including your name, address, email address, and phone number) to send you polls and surveys to find out your views of our website and services. We may also carry out analysis of, and research into, the ways that you use our Website so we can optimize the Website and your experience. We may use third parties to carry out any research, analysis, and surveys, or to deliver incentives in return for your participation in polls, as further set out below.
WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION?
To provide the Website and our services, we work with several carefully selected third parties. To do this, we may share your information with these third parties in the following limited circumstances:
- Third-party service providers for business purposes: to function properly, we rely on many carefully selected third parties to provide us with services and products. These include analytics companies to enable our marketing, research companies to help us carry out surveys, IT/technology providers to support, maintain and provide our technology and IT infrastructure and others. We permit these companies to use your personal information only to the extent necessary to provide us with their services and products; we do not allow these third parties to disclose or use your information for any other purposes. We have high expectations and requirements in their handling of your personal information, as you do in ours so that your information is always handled in your best interest and privacy;
- Advertisers for marketing purposes: we may provide your information to our advertising and social media partners (including Facebook, Twitter and Mailchimp) where they require the data to select and serve relevant adverts about our services to you and others;
- To comply with legal requests: on occasion, we may be required to liaise with various regulators and law enforcement agencies in several different countries, whether as a result of the law, a court order, or another legal process. Although we dispute requests wherever suitable, in some cases we may have to share your information with the regulators or law enforcement agencies. Where we consider it appropriate, and provided we are not prohibited from doing so by law or court order, we will attempt to notify you of these legal demands;
- Aggregated information with third parties: we may aggregate your information with the information of other customers, creating a dataset of information about the usage of our website, and other general, grouped information about our customers. Although this dataset is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot identify you as an individual, it provides valuable insight into the use of our website and we may therefore share it with selected third parties. These parties may include providers of plugins or similar technologies to help measure traffic and our investors. Please note that we do not share your information with any third-party advertisers or networks for the provision of third-party advertising on our website.
TRANSFERS OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
To provide our Website and our services, we may transfer and store the personal information that we collect from you to a destination outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
