Storage

The period for which we will store personal information is based on our need to fulfil our legitimate business needs, comply with applicable law, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. This is normally based on the "limitation period"; the period of time that a legal claim can be brought within. For a breach of contract, the limitation period is 6 years, so we may retain your details for up to 7 years after the end of the contract (the extra year is to allow for law allowing a claim to be issued by a court, but not served for several months).

Withdrawal of consent

You have a right to withdraw any consent you give us at any time. This will not affect the legality of our consent-based use before you withdrew consent.

To exercise your right to withdraw, please contact us. Please make it clear you want to exercise this right, for example by putting "Withdrawal of consent" in the subject line of the email. Thank you.

Complaints

Information collected directly - legal or contract requirement

It is a purchase contract requirement that you provide your contact details, the address to which your product should be delivered and other mandatory information within the order process.

Automated decision-making

We do not conduct automated decision-making in conjunction with creating a contract of sale. All decisions about you will be made by humans. Some third-party providers, where relevant, may use automated decision making, e.g. finance applications. However, customers have the right to appeal to the third-party directly.
