When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT?                               

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfil any orders placed through the store (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services. This may be via our mailing list to which you would have subscribed. If at any point you wish to opt-out then you can just 'unsubscribe' or contact us to have your details removed.

We use Royal Mail to fulfil shipping and their Privacy Policy can be found here: https://www.royalmail.com/privacy-policy/

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimise our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
