3. The Nature of Our Business
We are principally a retailer. Retailing can utilise a number of facilities and functions including shops (off the street and in shopping centres), the internet, promotional material (using various forms including paper and electronic mail outs), credit and other card systems, layby arrangements and reward schemes. As a successful and long established retailer we carry out any or all of these means of business from time to time.
4. Obtaining Personal Information
Because of the nature of our business it is necessary to obtain personal information from time to time. We will however not be unduly intrusive nor obtain or use information in an inappropriate manner. We will only ask for and use personal information we reasonably need to conduct our business.
If you have received any promotional material and no longer wish to do so, please let us know.
5. Safekeeping and Need-to-Know Handling
Your personal information is only accessed on a need-to-know basis.
6. Your Access and Control
However, in accordance with the privacy law you may have access to your personal information and can correct any misinformation (except where it would be inappropriate or exempted by law eg where it would require disclosing someone else's personal information. In this instance, you would be provided with an explanation).
7. Confidence
It is important for us that persons with whom we do business have confidence that we handle information responsibly and it is our policy to do this.
