In some cases, we may also make personal data available to third parties for advertising purposes – see "Collaboration Partners" below for more information. You have the right to opt-out of your data being processed for direct marketing purposes , including the disclosure of your data to third parties for such purposes. Some of the data disclosed to third parties is collected through the use of non-essential cookies – you can choose to reject the use of cookies (and therefore prevent the sharing of this data) at any time.

We use service providers, and have group companies, in countries around the world. Your personal data may therefore be processed in countries outside of Europe, including in countries where you may have fewer legal rights in respect of your data than you do under local law. If we transfer personal data outside the UK/European Economic Area we will ensure that your privacy rights are adequately protected by appropriate safeguards, which may include the European Union's standard contractual clauses and UK equivalent. Please contact us if you would like more information about these safeguards.

We rely on the following legal bases under data protection law to process your personal data:

Because the processing is necessary to perform a contract with you, or take steps prior to entering into a contract with you (e.g. where you have made a purchase with us, we use your personal data to process the payment and fulfil your order).
Because we have obtained your consent (e.g. if you consent to receive marketing from us or agree to the use of non-essential cookies). If you have consented to a processing activity, you can withdraw your consent at any time. We explain how to do this in the Cookies and Personalisation section.
Because it is in our legitimate interests as an e-commerce provider to maintain, promote and protect our business and services. We are always seeking to understand more about our customers in order to offer the best products and customer experience. We use information about you to tailor your view of the Site, to make it more interesting and relevant in respect of the products and offers on view.

With our collaboration partners . We may exercise our legitimate interest to disclose your personal data to our collaboration partners, who are other retailers or consumer goods manufacturers. These partners will not have direct access to your personal data, but your data may be used to produce reports into consumer activity for these partners (those reports would not contain personal data) or for our partners and their vendors to target you as part of an online advertising campaign. The conduct of any such advertising campaign is the responsibility of our collaboration partner.
With our professional and legal advisors.
In the event of a transaction involving the sale of any business assets, personal data of our customers may be disclosed to a prospective purchaser.
