SHARING YOUR INFORMATION

We do not, and will not, sell any of your personal data to any third party – including your name, address, email address or any payment information. We want to earn and maintain your trust, and we believe this is absolutely essential in order do that.

However, we share your data with the following categories of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our services to you, as set out in this statement:

  • - Companies that do things to get your purchases to you, such as payment service providers and delivery companies.

  • - Professional service providers, such as marketing agencies, advertising partners and website hosts, who help us run our business.

  • - Credit reference agencies, law enforcement and fraud prevention agencies, so we can help tackle fraud.

  • - Companies approved by you, such as social media sites (if you choose to link your accounts to us).

We may provide third parties with aggregated but anonymised information and analytics about our customers and, before we do so, we will make sure that it does not identify you.

If you have given your conscent, we will send you marketing messages by email or text to keep you aware of our latest offers, promotions and news, and to help you see and find our products.

How to stop marketing messages from Madcap England:

You can stop receiving marketing messages from us at any time.

You can do this:

  • - By clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any email

  • - By contacting our Customer Services

Once you do this, we will update your profile to ensure that you don’t receive any further marketing messages.

Please note that it might take a few days for all our systems to be updated, so you might receive messages from us while we process your request.

Stopping marketing messages will not stop service communications (such as order updates).

SEEING ADVERTS FOR MADCAP ENGLAND ONLINE

We also engage in online advertising, to keep you aware of what we’re up to and to help you see and find our products.

Like many companies, we target Madcap England banners and ads to you when you are on other websites and apps. We do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges, and we use a range of advertising technologies like web beacons, pixels, ad tags, cookies, and mobile identifiers, as well as specific services offered by some sites and social networks, such as Facebook’s Custom Audience service.

The banners and ads you see will be based on information we hold about you, or your previous use of Madcap England (for example, your Madcap England search history, and the content you view on Madcap England) or on Madcap England banners or ads you have previously clicked on.

KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION

We’ll hold on to your information for as long as you have your account, or as long as is needed to be able to provide the services to you, or (in the case of any contact you may have with our Customer Services team) for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis only.

If reasonably necessary or required to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our terms and conditions, we may also keep hold of some of your information as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the services to you.
