This Privacy Policy explains how we use any personal information we collect about you when you use this website or contact us directly.
The General Data Protection Regulation requires us to manage personal information in accordance with data protection principles and in particular requires us to process your personal information fairly and lawfully. This means you are entitled to know how we intend to use any information you provide. You can then decide whether you want to give it to us in order that we may provide the product or service that you require.
All our employees are personally responsible for maintaining customer confidentiality and will do their utmost to keep all data accurate, timely and secure. We provide training and education to all employees to remind them about their obligations.
We collect information about you when you register with us or place an order for products or services. We also collect information when you voluntarily complete customer surveys, provide feedback and participate in competitions.

If you are asked to give personal information on our pages, such as for example your name, address, phone number or email address, you will be given an opportunity to consent to how your data is used.
We will use your data to provide you with the product or service you have requested.
