User-generated content

The Services may allow you to post product reviews and other user-generated content. If you choose to submit content in a public area of the Services, that content will be public and accessible to anyone.

We do not control who will have access to information you make publicly available, and we cannot guarantee that such parties will respect your privacy or keep this information secure. We are not responsible for information you choose to make public, nor for the accuracy, use or misuse of such information by third parties.


Third-party websites and links

Our Site may contain links to websites or platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to websites that are not owned or controlled by us, please review their privacy and security policies and their terms and conditions. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such websites, or for the accuracy, completeness or reliability of information on them. Information you provide in public or semi-public areas, including third-party social networking platforms, may be visible to other users of the Services and/or users of those platforms, without limitation by us or by the third parties. The inclusion of such links does not itself imply our endorsement of the content or its owners/operators, unless this is explicitly stated in the Services.


Children’s data

The Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you are a parent or guardian of a child who has provided personal information to us, you may contact us using the contact details below to request deletion.

To our knowledge, we do not “share” or “sell” (within the meaning of applicable law) personal information about individuals under the age of 16.


Security and retention of your information

No security system is completely perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “absolute security”. In addition, any information you send to us may not be fully secured during transmission. We recommend that you do not use insecure channels to send sensitive or confidential information.

The period for which we retain your personal information depends on various factors, including the need to maintain your account, provide the Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce applicable contracts and policies.


Your rights and choices

Depending on your place of residence, you may have some or all of the following rights with respect to your personal information. These rights are not absolute: they may apply only in certain circumstances, and in some cases we may refuse your request in accordance with the law.

You can exercise these rights where indicated on our Site or by contacting us using the contact details below.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. We may need to collect information to verify your identity (for example, your email address or account details) before we can provide a full response. In accordance with applicable law, you may appoint an authorised representative to submit requests on your behalf. Before accepting such a request, we will require proof of authorisation and may ask you to verify your identity directly. We will respond within the time frames required by law.


Complaints

If you have complaints about how we process your personal information, please contact us using the contact details below. If you are not satisfied with our response, depending on your place of residence you may have the right to appeal to us again using the same contact details, or to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.


International users

Please note that we may transfer, store and process your personal information outside your country of residence, including in the United States. Your personal information in these countries may also be processed by our staff and by third-party service providers and partners.

If we transfer your personal information outside Europe, we rely on recognised transfer mechanisms, such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses or any equivalent agreement issued by the competent authority in the United Kingdom, where applicable, unless the transfer is to a country that has been recognised as providing an adequate level of protection.

We take your privacy and the information you agree to provide to us through our SMS marketing service very seriously. We use this information to send you SMS notifications (about your order, including abandoned cart reminders), marketing offers via SMS, and transactional messages such as review requests. Our Site uses cookies to track items placed in your cart, including when you do not complete a purchase. This information is used to determine when to send SMS reminders about abandoned carts.
