When you provide us with the above information, it may be used for a number of different purposes, which are listed below:
1. Administration and customer orders: Some of the basic customer information you provide us with, such as your full name and billing/delivery addresses is necessary to enable us to provide a service to you and to ensure that any orders you place on the Website are delivered correctly.
2. To enable customer services: We ask for your contact details, such as your e-mail address and telephone number, to enable us to resolve any queries you may have about using the Website and to enable us to keep you informed on the status of your order.
3. Direct Marketing: During the customer registration process, you will be given an option to receive information from time to time about our products and services, such as e-mails advising you of new products, services and promotions. If you wish to opt in to receive these additional services, you will be asked for further information, such as your gender and age range, to ensure that the information we subsequently send is relevant to you.
4. To understand our customers’ needs: Any additional information that we request is intended to assist us in understanding our customers and their needs better. This is important to enable us to continue improving our service to you. We also learn about our customers by tracking their movements around the Website and collecting information about their buying habits.

5. Please note, in the case of visitors to the Website who are not registered users, the information collected is anonymous and does not therefore enable us to identify you as an individual.

HOW LONG WE WILL KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

We will continue to keep and use your information for as long as you are registered as a customer of the Website. You may choose to cancel your registration at any time by going into the 'My Account' section of the site.

1. to ensure that any outstanding orders you have placed can be processed to completion; and
2. to enable us to contact you in the event of an emergency such as the urgent need to recall a product.
Otherwise, your information will not be accessed again and it will remain secure.
If you cancel your registration you will no longer be able to shop online or receive e-mails from us, although any outstanding orders you have placed will be processed as normal. Please note you cannot open a new customer account using the same email address as a previously closed customer account.
