We use cookies for these types of activity: Experience - to track visitors on our website (where they've come from, how long they stay and what they look at when on our site). Security - to protect your personal data and prevent fraudulent activity. Choices - during our signup process these allow you to choose and order our services.

Note: Our cookies don't store financial information, or personal details, e.g. your name or address. You can turn cookies off but if you do this you may not be able to use all services on our websites and you might see more pop-ups and other intrusive advertising, as we won't be able to limit what you see using cookies. You may be able to use some of the site. Some of the cookies are set by business partners (e.g. analytics companies) to track and collect browsing behaviour Others are used to show specific content to you. (We don't control how these cookies are set). If you register for our website, turning off cookies will mean you cannot use this service.
We use your data to register you to use the website and manage your account. The information we need to register a user is an email address and a password. We may ask further questions for different services. Unless stated, all registration questions are compulsory.
To fulfil the request or contract we use your data to decide whether to allocate you brochure, materials or products, manage and track your request or order, update you on progress, generate delivery notes and invoices, process payments and administration generally. We may have to use third parties to help us achieve these aims in accordance with our legitimate interests (see below).
To help us fulfil the request or contract we share your data with these parties for the reasons below as it is in our legitimate interests to do so having taken into account all relevant factors around your privacy. If we do not engage these external contractors our prices would have to increase as we would have to engage more staff and buy more infrastructure. We require them to be GDPR compliant and enter data processor contracts with us or ensure their contracts make appropriate statements.
We use an outside party to deliver the brochure, materials or products ordered and they may be one of a number and/or may change from time to time. We will communicate who they are at the time they are going to deliver.
We use an external payment processor on the site to process your payment.
Our external email provider processes all our incoming and outgoing emails. Email is how we confirm and manage your order, manage the security of access and passwords on your account and deal with any enquiries and complaints.
We (and third parties under contract with us) use customer contact information to personalise the types of information you receive from us, to determine customer satisfaction with products and/or services we have provided and to improve the operation of our services to you.
The following is a list of the outside parties we use:
This may change from time to time so if you continue to use us or keep in contact with us you will be dealing with us on our updated Privacy Notice. We will endeavour to notify you of any changes but this may not be possible. We will set out on our current Privacy Notice the date it came into force.
We share your personal data with the following parties for reasons of legitimate interest:
- we use a cloud based accountancy software which means your personal data is on their cloud servers as our data processor.
- we use a cloud based Customer Relationship Management software which means your personal data is on their cloud servers as our data processor.
- we use an outside party to bill and collect who are acting as our data processor. They will identify themselves to you as acting on our behalf but if you have any concerns about their activity or behaviours please contact us.
- we use an outside party to handle your telephone calls regarding your order, account or complaints. They need to have your data to identify and deal with your query.

We use online behavioural advertising (OBA) which allows us to deliver targeted advertising to visitors. As you browse our site, some of the cookies used are advertising cookies, so we can understand what sort of pages you are interested in. It then generates adverts which we believe may interest you based on your use of our site. The OBA techniques we use will not collect personal information such as your name, email address, postal address or phone number. We may also share anonymised behavioural data with advertising partners. This may mean that when you are on other websites, you will be shown advertising based on your behaviour on our website. We may also show you advertising on our site based on your behaviour on other sites you have visited and where you appear to have given permission. This is known as Behavioural retargeting and is another form of OBA that allows us and some of our advertising partners to show you ads based on your browsing patterns and interactions with other sites. You can opt out of this form of marketing, but you will still see adverts when you visit our site, they just will not be personal for you.
We analyse your use of our site so adverts of ours or others can be positioned on the page. We use cookies. You can manage your cookies by using the Cooking Control functionality in the corner of this website.
