When you place an order we collect your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number and credit card information. We do not keep any credit card details on file ourselves. If you choose to save your payment details with us we use a trusted 3rd party (Cybersource, owned by Visa). Cybersource stores them on our behalf, and we are not able to access the full card details.
We may record which products you are interested in and which products you purchase. This enables us to process your orders efficiently and to improve the products and service that we are offering.
We may use this information to inform you of any new products or special offers that we think may be of interest to you or about changes to our website.
