If you are a customer we might contact you by email, mail or telephone unless you ask us not to.

You can choose at any time not to be contacted and we will update your preferences.

If you inform us that you no longer wish to receive marketing emails and/or telephone calls you will stop receiving them within 24 hours. We will still hold your email address (unless you ask us to remove it) to contact you about customer service related issues - despatch updates for example.

If you inform us you no longer wish to receive postal marketing you may still receive some letters up to 4 weeks after you change your preferences as mailings are printed in advance. You will still receive customer service related letters.

If you have indicated that you are happy for us to do so, we occasionally share data with carefully selected 3rd parties so they can contact you. You can opt out by updating your contact preferences here or by contacting the Customer Service Team.

We advertise using many internet based platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Google Ads and others. We make sure we always act in accordance with the terms and conditions of these platforms to show you products and news you may be interested in. All of these platforms offer you ways to manage your privacy and advertising preferences from within their own settings.

We may also share your personal information and limited transactional data with business partners to help target the offers we make to you such as Google; suppliers we engage to process data on our behalf such as Neverbounce; feedback sites to collect reviews such as Ekomi; data co-operatives such as Epsilon Abacus; Government bodies and law enforcement agencies (if required to do so), and successors in title to our business.
