4.1 Transferring Information to Retailers. In connection with using our Service to make purchases we will share the Information that we collect from you (but except for payment data such as credit card number details) with the specific Retailer who owns or operates the website from which you made your purchase.

Such Retailer will then be entitled to use your Information as if that Retailer has collected this information

directly, subject to the Retailer’s own privacy policy.

For instance, the Retailer needs to know that you have made a purchase in order to process delivery of your purchase, to handle any requests by you to return or replace a product and it needs to know if you are already a subscriber or member of its services so that you can take advantage of any loyalty scheme that it administers.

If you do not agree with the disclosure of your Information to a third-party retailer, you will not be able to use the Service.

4.2 Marketing. We do not use your Information for marketing purposes. Your information may be used for direct marketing by the Retailer who owns or operates the website from which you made your purchase.

If we will use your Information or disclose for any purposes not covered in this Policy in this regard, then we will make efforts to ensure that you receive prior notification of the new purpose and where relevant, your consent obtained for those new purposes.
