This includes instances where you register for membership, log onto our website, engage with us via phone, in person, or email, make purchases, subscribe to our mailing list, participate in competitions or promotions, or apply for positions within our business.
We collect this information to improve our products and services, provide our offerings to you, communicate effectively, offer promotional products, maintain a record of your orders, keep our customer database up-to-date, investigate complaints, investigate whether you are in breach of our terms and condition, verify your identity, notify you of job vacancies if you have applied, and comply with legal requirements.

We ensure that personal and sensitive information is collected using fair and lawful means. Credit card details are not stored on our servers as we use secure payment gateways and third-party processors.
