We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information for the purpose of providing you with products. If you subscribe to our newsletter, you may receive updates from us from time to time. We do not sell or give away access to the personal information you provide to us.

Collecting personal information

We collect personal information from you when you purchase products, contact us or subscribe to our newsletter.  At all times we try to only collect the information we need for the particular service we are providing.

The main way we collect personal information about you is when you give it to us, for example:
