Future Postal Mailings – Opting Out
We respect your privacy rights and are registered with the Data Protection Register. Our brochure is usually mailed out 4 times a year but we often write to you with special offers or interesting deals from other parties or share our database with other respectable and trusted companies.
If you would prefer not to receive such mailings but are happy for us to write to you with our own offers, then please contact us asking for your details to be put on our “Suppression File”. You can do this by any of the contact methods at the bottom of this page or, if you are placing an order, telling us on the order form.
Alternatively you can remove yourself from all future mailings by contacting us using any of the methods listed at the bottom of this page or, if you are placing an order, telling us on the order form.
Do I have choices regarding how my information is used?
You remain in control of your information. At the time you provide your information, you can choose whether you want to receive further communications about special offers, product information or other marketing messages.

If you send us a question or concern, we will maintain your information for a reasonable period of time and then delete it.
