We may also use service providers located in other countries (such as the United States and the United Kingdom) for cloud hosting, analytics, and email delivery. Where we disclose your personal information to overseas recipients, we take reasonable steps to ensure they handle your personal information in accordance with the APPs.

- you have consented (for example by signing up to our newsletter or ticking a marketing opt-in at checkout); or
- you are an existing customer and the marketing relates to products similar to those you have purchased, and you have not opted out.
Every marketing message will identify us as the sender and include a clear, no-cost unsubscribe option that we will action within 5 business days. You can also unsubscribe at any time by contacting us or updating your account preferences.
We do not knowingly send marketing to anyone we know is under 16 without appropriate consent from a parent or guardian.
