- When you visit our website, we or companies acting on our behalf may collect technical data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. This may include your internet protocol (IP address), login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and country location, browser plug-in types, operating system and platform. We collect this data by using cookies, server logs and other similar technologies. We may also receive technical data about you if you visit other websites that employ our cookies. Please see our cookie section for further details.
- If you place an order with us, we will collect your name, address, telephone number, email address and payment information.
- If you simply subscribe to our marketing product communications, offers, competitions and/or product tips without purchasing a product, we will only collect your email address and phone number based on your choice.

- If you contact our customer service contact center, your call, email, or chat may be recorded /stored for quality and training purposes.
- If you provide feedback via our post contact survey, your results will be stored to help improve our services.

As part of these activities, we may also collect personal information that includes your gender, age range, geographical location, size of your household, whether you have pets or children and use social media. Whilst this information on its own may not directly identify you, it could do so when pieced together.
- If you interact with us on social media, what you post on Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter, sometimes includes data that has been put online and is publicly available. We aim to anonymize data collected through these platforms, but it is not always possible and therefore we may collect your personal information. These online and social media sites are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the feature, not by our Privacy Policy. You should carefully review those privacy policies before you use these sites to make sure that you are happy with how your personal data is being collected and shared (see the section below ‘Links to third party websites’).

As you progress through the recruitment process, we may collect further information to support your suitability for the role including interview notes and behavioral assessments. If we make you a conditional offer, then we will also need to collect proof of your identity, right to work, qualifications achieved, criminal record declaration, offences, credit history and references.
- We only collect information from third parties who have obtained your consent to share your data. This may include aggregated demographic data that provide insights into the relative affluence of households, from third party data providers who help us to give you a more relevant experience by enabling us to provide offers, and to give you more relevant services and advice.
