INTRODUCTION

Your privacy is of the highest importance to us, and as such we promise never to release your personal details to any third party for marketing purposes. We'd love you to be among the first to receive news and exciting offers about our products and services. We do this in a variety of ways but only if you would like us to.  Your privacy is very important to us which is why we make sure you're always in control of what we do with your personal information.

This is our simple customer contact promise:

We'll never pass your personal details to 3rd parties for them to use for their own marketing purposes.

We'll only ever use your details to help you make the most of what we have to offer.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose any personal data that we may hold about visitors to our website, our customers, our business contacts and other third parties with whom we may interact from time to time ("you" and "your").

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "Data Protection Legislation" means the laws applicable from time to time that relate to the processing of personal data and/or privacy, including without limitation, the PT Data Protection and GDPR and, if applicable, the EU GDPR or other applicable laws, in each case as in force as at the date of this Privacy Policy, or as re-enacted, applied, amended, superseded, repealed or consolidated, and including any legally binding regulations, direction, and orders issued from time to time under or in connection with the relevant legislation, and as applied and amended from time to time.  

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this Privacy Policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access this website or purchase any other Product or otherwise interact with us, so that you stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you with respect to your privacy.
