DATA SECURITY
When it comes to data security, there’s no such thing as a 100% secure way to electronically store data or transmit it online. So while your data security is very important to us and we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we can’t fully guarantee its security.

- To monitor how our website is used.
- To detect, address and prevent technical issues.
- To send you news, special offers and information about goods, services and events we offer similar to those you’ve purchased or enquired about – unless you’ve opted out of these.

PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA UNDER GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)
