We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
Performance of a Contract: Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you (e.g., fulfilling an order for goods, managing delivery).

Consent: Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending third-party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time.
We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes outlined in Section 3:

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. By law, we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial, and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
