I only share your Personal Data as necessary for any third party to provide the services as requested or as needed on MY behalf. These third parties are subject to strict data processing terms and conditions and are prohibited from utilising, sharing or retaining your personal data for any purpose other than as they have been specifically contracted for.

I do not process or store your payment details myself, I use PayPal. Please see PayPal’s Privacy Policy for information on how they process your Personal Data.

In some special cases I may also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details some common third party cookies you might encounter through this site.

Website Analytics: My website uses Google Analytics, one of the most popular and trusted analytics solutions, to help to understand how people use the website. It does this by tracking such information as how long people spend on the website, the pages they visit, the website that referred them to our website and other aggregate data. I do this so that I can make improvements to the website and provide a better user experience and more engaging content.

Targeted advertising: Targeted ads or interest-based offers may be presented to you based on your activities on our website and based on the products you have previously purchased. These offers will display as varying product banners presented to you while browsing. I also partner with third parties to manage our advertising and they may use cookies to gather information about your activities in order to provide you with advertising based upon your browsing activities or interests.

How do we secure, store and retain your data?

Protecting the security of all personally identifiable information of our visitors and customers is important. I take all reasonable precautions to store and protect the Personal Data that is collected, both during transmission and once received and stored on our systems. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while all reasonable steps are taken to ensure the security of our users’ personal information and maintain their privacy, I cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of such personal information.

I will retain your Personal Data for only as long as necessary to provide you with the services you have requested and thereafter for a variety of legitimate business purposes. These might include retention periods mandated by contract, needed to maintain adequate and accurate business and financial records, or to provide you with relevant promotional offers that I believe will be of benefit.
