3. Why we use it and our lawful basis
To prepare quotations and fulfil orders — necessary for the performance of our contract with you.
To answer enquiries and provide customer service — our legitimate interests in running the business.
To send offers and product news — your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
To meet accounting, VAT and consumer-law obligations — compliance with a legal obligation.
4. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data or share it for third-party advertising.
5. How long we keep it
Order and invoice records are kept for seven years to satisfy UK tax and accounting requirements.
Quotations and enquiries that do not become orders are kept for up to two years.
Marketing subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe.
Reviews submitted for publication are kept while they remain published; ask us and we will remove yours.
6. Cookies
We use essential cookies and local browser storage to keep your basket, quote list and sign-in session working — the site cannot function without these.
Optional cookies help us understand how the site is used. You choose whether to allow these from the banner shown on your first visit, and you can change your mind by clearing your browser storage for this site.
7. Your rights
