We will not use your information to market to you unless we have your implied or express consent.

​

We may use the information we collect from you when you use our websites (such as the areas of a website accessed by you and your IP address) to:

We will not disclose your personal information to third parties except:

• With your consent.

• Where we are required or authorised by law to do so, for example to law enforcement agencies.

• To our related companies, in accordance with the law.

​

In some cases, this may involve transferring your personal information to other countries for the purposes of data processing and storage (including if applicable, to fulfil any orders you have placed with us).
