• Information is also collected when you complete and submit on-line forms (for example, “contact us” or “submission” forms) and whenever you email us your details.
• The information you provide when you enter a competition or promotion via our platforms, provide reviews, testimonials or feedback on our online platforms.
• The information you provide us, or that we may collect from you, when you report a problem/feedback through our website/telephone/other online platforms. We also maintain a record of correspondence if you contact us: general, aggregated, demographic and nonpersonal information.

• Details about your computer, including but not limited to your IP address, operating system and browser type as well as information about your general internet usage (e.g. by using technology that stores information on or gains access to your device, such as cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.).
• Your email address from a third party if you indicate that you have consented to that third party sharing your information with us.
• We will not collect sensitive personal information about you without your explicit consent.

How we use your information

• We use the information collected to provide and personalise our services, both online and offline. This may include dealing with your enquiries, ensuring that content from the Website is presented in the most effective manner, providing you with information that you request from us or which we feel may be of interest to you (where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes), conducting quality assurance and/or training our staff.
• Where you have indicated that you wish to receive marketing or promotional material, we may use the information ourselves for marketing and promotional purposes.
• Where dealing with your enquiry may involve passing information to third parties, we may use third-party analytics services on our Website, such as Google Marketing Platform, Adobe Omniture and Sizmek, which may in turn use technologies such as cookies, web server logs and web beacons to help us provide the solutions you require. The information collected through these means (including your IP address) may also be disclosed to other relevant third parties who would use the information to evaluate your use of our website, among other relevant, non-invasive purposes.

How we protect your information

• We take appropriate security measures in relation to the sensitivity of the information which we hold on you.
• Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
• Should any of your information be inaccurate or not up to date, do inform us and we will update your details.
• If you have any questions about privacy, please send an e-mail via our contact page.

How we use cookies

• A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
• Overall, cookies help us provide you a better website, enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
• You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website’s features.

Links to other websites

• Our websites may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over other websites. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide while visiting such sites, and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

Your rights

• Any information you provide us via the Website or through various other channels is entirely voluntary. However, if you choose not to provide requested information, some features of the Website or in-store services may not be available to you.
