    Who we share your information with
    We share your data with the following categories of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our services to you:

    Companies that get your order to you, such as call centres, payment service providers, warehouses, order packers, and delivery companies

    • Professional service providers, such as marketing agencies, advertising partners and website hosts who help us run our business
    • Credit reference agencies, law enforcement and fraud prevention agencies, so we can help tackle fraud
    • Companies approved by you, such as social media sites

    Is your data transferred outside the EEA?
    • Personal data may be transferred outside the EEA however whenever this is the case, we will ensure a similar degree of protection is attached to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
    • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
      • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific countries approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
      • Where we use service providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

    • We will hold on to your information for as long is needed to be able to provide the service to you and maintain our company transactional records, or where you have given consent to contact you with offers and other marketing purposes, until you notify us otherwise.

    If reasonably necessary or required to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our terms and conditions, we may also keep hold of some of your information as required, even after it is no longer needed to provide the service to you.
