Disclosure of your Information
The information you provide to us will be held on our computers in the UK and may be accessed by or given to our staff and third parties within, and occasionally, (where necessary to fulfil and deliver orders) outside of, the EEA. Those parties process information, fulfil and deliver orders, process credit or debit card payments and provide support services on our behalf.

We employ security measures to protect your information from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. We will retain your information for a reasonable period or as long as the law requires. Countries outside of the EEA do not always have strong data protection laws. However, we will always take steps to ensure that your information is used by third parties in accordance with this policy statement.
