  • when you place an order
  • in credit account application forms and supply or purchase agreements

When you visit our sites, if you give us permission to use cookies (more information on this is below) we will also collect:

  • details of your visits such as how long you have visited the site, pages you have viewed and resources accessed, how long you have visited particular areas of the site , how you have used any interactive features; including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data and the resources that you access; and/or

If you are aged under 18, please get your parent or guardian’s permission before you provide any personal information to us.

The personal information we request is optional, but if you choose not to provide necessary personal information to us, we may not be able to fulfill your request or provide you with the product or service you require.  Sometimes, however, there are situations where we are required by law to collect certain personal information from you and, if this is the case, we will inform you of the law that imposes this requirement.

Where practical, you may interact with us anonymously.  For example providing feedback to us that does not require a response from us.  However, in many cases it will not be possible to interact with us anonymously because we need your personal information to be able to provide the products, services or information you are requesting.  For example, if you wish to subscribe to an email newsletter then we need an email address for you.

Where appropriate and practical, at the point of collection of your information we may provide you either an “opt in” or “opt-out” mechanism. An “opt-in” mechanism will provide you the opportunity to positively indicate that you would like or do not object to our sending you such further communications. An “opt-out” mechanism will provide you the opportunity to indicate that you do not want us to send you such further communications, and if you “opt-out” we will not send you any.  At any time you may opt out of such future contact by contacting us.

We will collect personal information directly from you whenever it is reasonable practicable to do so.  We may, at times, also collect personal information from other parties such as third party social media services such as Facebook ® or Twitter® where they are integrated with our services or websites, credit reporting and collection agencies, unrelated third parties as well as from your agents or representatives (such as your legal or financial adviser) and from publicly available sources of information.
