We use your information in various ways. A detailed breakdown of the activities and legal grounds for and on which we process your information is available on request.

You agree that we have the right to share your information with:

• Any member of our group which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006;

• Carefully selected third parties including:

• if Links Labels and Tapes or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case your information will be one of the transferred assets; or

• if we are under a duty to disclose or share your information in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use.

If you are an existing customer, we may contact you by email, SMS, telephone, or post with information about products and services which are similar to those we previously provided to you, unless you have indicated that you do not want to hear from us.

If you are a new customer, we may contact you by email, SMS, telephone, or post only if you consent.

We may also pass your information to other organisations (as set out in the paragraph entitled ‘Disclosure of your information’) who may contact you to provide marketing information about their products and services if you have provided us with your consent to do so, via the methods of communication you have previously consented to.

If you do not want us to use your information in this way, please tick the relevant boxes during the order process when we collect your information.  You may ask us at any time not to use your information for marketing purposes by clicking a link to contact us.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers using SSL technology. Any payment transactions will be encrypted. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site(s), you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Platform; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

The length of time we retain your information is determined by a number of factors including the purpose for which we use that information and our obligations under other laws.

We do not retain your information in an identifiable format for longer than is necessary for the purposes described above at “How we may use and store your information”.

We do not always apply a fixed retention period to the information we hold. Where it is not possible to provide details of a fixed retention period, we have instead provided details of the criteria we use to determine the period that applies.

Personal data that you provide or which is collected about you through a microsite will be used by the relevant third party in accordance with that microsite's terms and conditions and privacy policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about the collection or use of your personal data collected through any microsite, you should contact the relevant third party microsite operator using the contact information specified in their privacy policy.

You can access and rectify certain parts of your information by logging into your account via DSF.
