This data is used to promote my business. I may combine this information with the personally identifiable and other information I collect.
How will I use your personal information?
I will primarily use your personal information to provide my services and products to you.
I may also use your personal information for one or more of the following purposes:
a) to process requests and purchases and manage your interactions with me;
b) to communicate with you about services or products you have requested from me: for example, in the event that the service or product you have requested is unavailable; or if there is a query or problem with your requests; or when (in accordance with your preferences) I keep in touch with you about similar services or products;
c) for record-keeping purposes;
d) to fulfil our legal obligations (for example, where I am required to keep records of transactions or share information with authorities);

Disclosure of your personal information
In order to provide my services and products, I may, occasionally, appoint other organisations to carry out some of the processing activities on my behalf. These may include, for example, technology hosts, printing companies and mailing houses. In these circumstances, I will ensure that personal information is properly protected and that it is only used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
