How does GDPR help protect your personal data?

The GDPR applies to the processing of data carried out both by organisations who operate within the EU and to organisations outside the EU who offer goods or Services to individuals within the EU. Under GDPR all European organisations who collect, store and/or process your personal information must adhere to each of the regulations covered by GDPR which apply to their business and the way it handles your personal data. GDPR regulations specifically require that we (and other companies) take steps to help secure your data rights and to protect your data.

Our store has been designed to conform to the regulations detailed under GDPR from the date of launch of the site. Further details on the GDPR and how it protects personal data on the web are available at https://ico.org.uk.

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the Services they provide to us.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand how your personal information will be handled by these providers. In particular, please remember that certain providers may be located at facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the Services of a third-party service provider, please note that your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities reside.
