What information do we collect about you?
We collect personal information about you when you place an order for products or services. We also collect information when you voluntarily fill out a form, subscribe to our newsletter, telephone us, ask for a quotation, request a sample or browse the website.
You may be asked for your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, mobile telephone number, and credit card information. Credit card information is entered into our website but not stored on our servers.
When applying for a credit account we ask for additional information including company information, additional contact details, the name and address of your bank, account number, sort code and the names and addresses of references.
We sometimes ask for personal identification documents from you to validate shipping addresses to combat fraud. You can always refuse to supply personal identification documents except that it may prevent you from purchasing products from our website.
When you telephone us we may record the call for training purposes. You can stop the call from recording by pressing the * (star key) on your phone pad.

We do not sell or pass your personal information to third parties other than as set out in the paragraphs below or unless it is strictly necessary to deliver the products and services ordered or used by you. For example, your information will be passed to a credit card company to validate your credit card details and obtain payment when you buy a product or service. Another example would be when your name, email address and mailing address is passed to our courier service to enable the product to be delivered, and for you to be updated with text messages and emails for parcel tracking.
We may use your information for a number of purposes which includes: processing your orders and managing and administering your account; delivering any services, products or information requested by you; responding to complaints or account enquiries; administering debt recoveries; and verifying your identity when required.
