We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e. legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfil our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfil our legitimate business interests.


The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases:

  • Consent:
    We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e. consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose.


  • Performance of a Contract:
    We may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.


  • Legitimate Interests:
    We may process your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:


  • Send users information about special offers and discounts
  • Develop and display personalised and relevant advertising
  • Analyse usage to improve service and engagement
  • Support our marketing activities
  • Diagnose problems and/or prevent fraud
  • Understand how our users use our products and services

    We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

4. Sharing personal information

We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:


  • Business Transfers
    We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.


  • When We Use Google Maps Platform APIs
    We may share your information with certain Google Maps Platform APIs (e.g. Google Maps API, Places API). Google Maps uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell towers to estimate your location. GPS is accurate to about 20 meters, while Wi-Fi and cell towers help improve accuracy when GPS signals are weak, like indoors.


This data helps Google Maps provide directions, but it is not always perfectly precise. We obtain and store on your device (“cache”) your location.

  • Send reminders (e.g. abandoned shopping cart notices), depending on your communication preferences


These third parties use their technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests which may appear either on our Services or on other websites.


Cookie Notice

Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.

6. How long do we keep your information?

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).


When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either:


  • Delete it

If deletion is not immediately possible (for example, because your data is stored in backup archives), we will securely store your information and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.

  • Regular security audits and vulnerability checks


However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
