Collection and Use
Purpose We collect and use personal information about you so that we can provide you with improved services and benefits in connection with our services to you. We collect only information that you give us, and information from our website, such as page visits and browsing information. When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, we may share that information with third party contractors or service providers. We use your personal information for the following purposes:

No attempts are made to identify individuals browsing the site. The data captured is used so that we can accurately evaluate the content of the site and make improvements.
Method of collection We only collect personal information by lawful and fair means. We generally collect personal information directly from you. This information will generally come from what has been provided in your purchase online, through our contact with you over the telephone to complete an order, your entry form for a competition, customer service queries or other purchase related activities.
Unsolicited information If we receive personal information about you that we have not requested, and if we determine that we could not have lawfully collected that information under privacy law if we had requested it, we will destroy or de-identify the information, if it is lawful and reasonable to do so.
