We may ask for your consent to use your personal data.  If we do so, we will make it clear that we are asking for your consent, as this is the legal basis we intend to rely on for using your personal data in that instance.    We will ensure that you know why we are asking for your consent, and how we will use your personal data so that you can make an informed decisions as to whether to consent or not.   We will only ask for your consent where absolutely necessary.   If you do not provide us with your consent when we request it, we will not use your personal data for the purpose to which the requested consent relates, and we will not rely on any other legal basis to do so.      When we ask for your consent we will do so by: 

  1. asking you in our website or via a form in our retail store. 

  1. verbally over the telephone. 

When you provide us with your consent, we will keep a record of this.    

Should you wish to withdraw your consent, you have the right to do this at any time via your online customer account, or by contacting our store as above..       

b) We have a contractual obligation.    

We will use your personal data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract between us and you as a customer or supplier.   This is a separate legal basis which applies when you buy something from us, or where we buy something from you. 

c) We have a legitimate interest.  

Our legitimate interest for using your personal data is so that we are able to: 

  • Fulfil our obligations to you as a customer or supplier; 

  • Provide you with information about goods and services that we, or selected third parties, feel may be of interest to you; 

  • Provide you with a personalised and functional experience both online and offline; and 

  • Operate our administration services effectively. 

Our legitimate interest is therefore our commercial interest.   However, it is also in your interest as use of your personal data allows us to provide a more effective and efficient service to our customers and suppliers.  We use your personal data in a way that has a minimal impact on your rights and only in ways that you would reasonably expect considering the nature of our goods and services.  

There is no statutory obligation on you to provide us with your personal data.  However, without personal data, we may be unable to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
