In such cases, we will exercise reasonable discretion and apply such protections and safeguards as we consider appropriate, taking into account the nature of the personal data involved and the purpose for which it is processed.
Although we may use AI tools to assist with our business and the provision of our services, we do not make decisions concerning individuals based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes, in accordance with our instructions, and in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

- JGBM: We use JGBM Ltd, a company registered in England, to handle our deliveries. Their privacy policy can be found here: https://jgbm.co.uk. They might have their own delivery partners that they work with.
Additionally, we may share your personal data with an organisation, medical practice or surgery that you practice with if you have in the past indicated that you agree to share your personal data with that organisation, practice or surgery, for example if you have CCed them in communications with us or requested them to act as your agent with us. Unless instructed otherwise by you in writing, we shall be entitled to assume that we can disclose your personal data to them.
We also reserve the right to share or transfer your personal data in connection with a business transition or business re-organisation (such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or a sale of all of or portion of our assets). In these circumstances, we might also need to transfer personal data to a relevant third party as part of a due diligence or conflict check process in a business transition. For example, we may need to share your personal data with a prospective buyer and external professional advisors such as accountants, insurers, lawyers or financial institutions.
If we sell our business, or part of it, we may share your information with a buyer. They may not be in the same line of business as we are. We will ask any buyer to respect this privacy policy. Likewise, your personal information may be passed on to a successor in interests in the unlikely event of a liquidation, bankruptcy or administration.
7. International transfers
As some of our service providers are located in countries outside of the UK or the EEA, it may be necessary for the personal data that we collect from you to be transferred to or accessed from outside the UK or the EEA in order for you to use the features on our website, for example to the US.
Where we transfer your personal information to countries deemed to provide an acceptable level of data protection by the UK Information Commissioner, we rely on that decision to transfer your personal information. For transfers to the US, we may rely on the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (the DPF), which allows UK organisations to make restricted transfers to certain self-certified businesses based in the US. As of October 2026, Microsoft Corporation (which also covers Nuance Communications Inc), Google LLC, and LinkedIn Corporation are all active participants in the DPF. The full DPF list is here: https://dataprivacyframework.gov.
We can give no guarantees that the DPF is a safe method of transferring data. The European Court of Justice previously annulled similar schemes including Safe Harbor and Privacy Shield. It would be open to a court to determine that DPF no longer provides a safe way of transferring data to the US. If that were to happen, we would try and establish a different method for legitimising data transfer to the US although we cannot guarantee that those efforts would be successful, nor can we give an indication of how long that would take.
For transfers to service providers outside the UK or the EEA where no adequacy decision applies, we use International Data Transfer Agreements, Standard Contractual Clauses or other transfer tools provided for in the applicable data protection legislation to protect your personal information.
If you would like further information about a data transfer mechanism we use for a data transfer of your personal data, please get in touch with us using the contact details provided in section 1.
8. Data security
We have put in place what we consider to be appropriate security measures which are designed to reduce the risk of your personal data being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we put measures in place which are designed to limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. We ask them to only process your personal data on our instructions and subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures which are designed to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
Note that, despite the measures taken by us and the third parties we engage, the internet is not secure. As a result, others may nevertheless unlawfully intercept or access private transmissions of data.
In addition, it remains your responsibility where you have an account or portal login with us to log off or exit from the site or portal when not using it and keep your password or other access information secret. Your password and log in details are personal to you and should not be given to anyone else or used to provide shared access, for example over a network. You should use a password which is unique to your use of the portal or site – do not use the same password as you use for another site or email account. It is also your responsibility to maintain good internet security. For example, if your email account is compromised this could allow access to your account or portal with us if you have given us those details and/or permitted access through those accounts. If your email account is compromised it could be used to ask us to reset a password and gain access to your account or portal with us. You should keep all of your account details secure. If you think that any of your accounts has been compromised you should change your account credentials or portal login with us, and in particular make sure any compromised account does not allow access to your account with us. You should also tell us as soon as you can so that we can try to help you keep your account secure and if necessary, warn anyone else who could be affected.
9. Data retention
How long will you use my personal data for?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect of our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements. We will also consider the length of any warranty or product support you may have with us if you have purchased hardware or software from us.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes, and in accordance with the limitation periods under English law.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see section 10 below for further information.
10. Your legal rights
You may have a number of rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
You may have the following rights:
- To request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “subject access request”). This enables you to obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you, following a reasonable and proportionate search by us, and to confirm that we are processing it lawfully. Please note that there are some exceptions to this right, so in some circumstances access may be denied, for example when if disclosing the information would reveal personal data about other people. If the subject access right does apply, we will conduct a reasonable and proportionate search to respond to your request – you might be able to access some but not all of the personal data requested.
- To request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- To request erasure of your personal data in some circumstances. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You may also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
- To object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object.
- You may also have the absolute right to object any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (see section 4 for details of how to object to receiving direct marketing communications).
- To request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. If we agree to this request we will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- To request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in one of the following scenarios:
- If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
- Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it;
- Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
- You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
You can find out more about these rights by reading the UK GDPR, which can be viewed here: https://legislation.gov.uk.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact Vicky Humberstone using the contact details set out in section 1 above.
No fee usually required
You will usually not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and consider your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
11. Complaints
We hope that you won’t ever need to, but if you wish to make a complaint about the way we process your personal data or think that we have not complied with your rights, you can get in touch with us.
You also have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commission (also known as the ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). However, before doing so please make sure you have first made your complaint to us or asked us for clarification if there is something you do not understand. The ICO will expect you to have done this before reviewing your complaint. To make a complaint, please contact Vicky Humberstone using our contact information in section 1.
12. Changes to the privacy policy and your duty to inform us of changes
We keep our privacy policy under regular review. If we change our privacy policy we will post the changes on our website. Please check our website frequently to see any updates or changes to our privacy policy. If you’d like a permanent copy of this privacy policy kindly print a copy for your records. Do check back for the latest version of our privacy policy when submitting personal data to us.
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. We will not be responsible for any losses arising from any inaccurate, inauthentic, deficient or incomplete personal data that you provide to us. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us, for example a new address or email address.
