Cookies and website usage
Our websites may use cookies to distinguish you from other users of our websites. This helps us to improve the functionality and content of the websites, including keeping our websites and records safe and secure, and to facilitate usage by you.

Please note that our websites are not intended for children under 16 years of age, and we do not knowingly solicit data online from, or market online to, children under 16 years of age.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password to access certain parts of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to/from our websites — any transmission is at your own risk.
How do we use the information about you?
We use your information to provide you with the information, process orders for products and services that you request from us, administer or otherwise carry out our obligations in relation to any agreement you have with us. We retain your information for the period necessary required to serve the legitimate purpose or as required by law.
We may also use this information to provide you with information about goods or services we feel may interest you. In order to respect your privacy, we will only use your personal data for marketing purposes when you are an existing customer, and if required, we will request your consent prior to using your personal data for direct marketing.

Finally, we may be under a duty to disclose or share your personal information for various other reasons, such as to comply with a legal obligation; to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others. This could include, for example, exchanging information with a law enforcement agency or regulator; or with companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
