What we collect
We do not collect the data of individuals or companies who visit this website. We only keep data provided by clients, or interested parties who have contacted us (either via the contact form of this website or elsewhere) to fulfill the business services that we offer. This is an ‘opt-in’ system operated in line with our privacy policy. The information we store is ‘contact information’, specifically, though not limited to, company name, address, telephone number and email address, and only then if our clients’ have to chosen to provide it.

How long do we keep your data for?
We keep stockist data, (in compliance with GDPR guidelines) for a ‘limited’ and ‘reasonable’ amount of time to enable us to provide the services we offer our clients, or until a company or individual wishes to be removed from our directory. The retention periods for other personal data is 5 years after it was provided. The only potential exception to this policy in the future would be if you specifically requested to be kept informed by us. Typically companies do this in the form of a newsletter or via offers and promotions. The mechanism for this would be via an ‘opt-in’ a form, and our data protection policy would be updated accordingly. The website does not presently offer this.
