What information we hold about you

If you've bought something from us we will have your email address, phone number and address details on file. If you choose to deliver your leaflets to a third-party we will also have their name and address. This information is only used to deliver your orders and to contact you.

Credit card security is our primary concern. Therefore, we do not access or store your credit / debit card data. We only record the information we need to answer any queries you may have regarding your payment i.e. type of card used, last four digits of the card number and expiry date. We also record the reference number of your transaction. We do not access or retain any other information about your card. When you enter your credit/debit card details via our website, this information is encrypted and forwarded directly to our payment service provider Secure Trading who then verify the information provided with your card provider. For your added peace of mind we also utilise the latest card security technologies including Mastercard SecureCode and Verified by Visa.

What we do with your information

In addition to processing your order, we also maintain an order history of your purchases. This allows you and us to track deliveries and review past purchases. We may offer you a reward for purchases or make an offer we think you might like based on your order history. We also send out a regular email newsletter which includes details of our current special offers. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking on the link at the bottom of our newsletters.

We NEVER exchange, sell or otherwise give away your email address to other companies. Your email address is used solely by yourself, for purposes of logging into your account, and us for emailing you regarding your orders and to update you with our newsletter.
