2. The Information We Collect About You
Personal data is any information through which an individual can be identified. It does not include data from which a person’s identity has been removed (anonymised).
The following describes the categories of personal data that we may gather, use, store, and transfer. We will only utilize your personal data as permitted by law. The types of personal data we use include:
• Identity and Contact Data: This includes names, titles, and other identifiers along with address, email address, and telephone numbers.
• Financial Data: This includes information necessary for processing payments, such as credit/debit card information, and your bank account details.
• Technical Data: This includes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access this website. It also includes information about how you use our website and our products and services.
• Transaction Data: This includes details about payments to and from you and other details of products you have purchased from us.
• Profile Data: This includes username and password details you use to log into your account, purchases or orders made by you, your interests, preferences, feedback, and survey responses.

• Marketing and Communications Data: This includes preferences in receiving marketing from us and your communication preferences.
We also gather, use, and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For instance, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in line with this privacy policy.
We do not collect certain types of Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, and trade union membership). However, we may occasionally collect other data about you, for example, if you inquire about the Allergy Seal offered on some of our products, then we may ask for information about your allergies or specific needs. We do not gather any information about criminal convictions.
Failure to Provide Personal Data
In situations where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you or the organization you represent, and you fail to provide that data when requested, this may restrict our ability to provide our services. It could also prevent us from properly addressing a request or inquiry you have made, or we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods). In this case, we may have to cancel a product you have with us, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
