1 When you register for membership of the Global Options service we will need to know your name, e-mail address, telephone number and delivery address. We need this information, together with credit/debit card details (where applicable), in order to process and fulfill your orders, to let you know the status of your order, and to address any queries regarding your order.

2 We may use information that you provide for market research purposes; to advise you of special offers; to inform you about products and services. If you would prefer not to receive marketing information, you may opt out. If you would like to receive direct marketing information by email, you may opt in. The opt out /opt in procedure is explained in Your Profile.

3 We may also disclose your information to our appointed third party agents in order to process your order, for example, to courier companies who deliver goods to you on our behalf. These third parties will only have access to your information in order for them to perform specific tasks related to your order and they may not use it for any other purposes. However, if you subscribe to a magazine publication you may receive an offer of renewal of your subscription direct from the publisher.

4 We may disclose your information to our professional advisers for the purpose of obtaining professional advice or to other third parties if we have a legal obligation to do so. We may also disclose your information to a purchaser in the event of a sale of the whole or a relevant part of our business.

5 We reserve the right at all times to monitor your use of the Global Options service to ensure compliance with these terms and conditions. We also reserve the right to monitor, review, retain and/or disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. Calls to and from our Customer Service Team may be monitored and/or recorded for training and security purposes.

6 You have the right to a copy of personal information that we keep about you. Should you wish to do so, please write to the Data Protection Officer at the address above. A small fee is payable, which will not exceed £10. If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please write to the Data Protection Officer as soon as possible at the above address. We will correct any information found to be incorrect promptly.

7 We may need to transfer your personal information outside the EEA if this is necessary in order to supply you with the goods/services you have ordered (eg if you have booked a holiday in a destination outside the EEA).

8 You should be aware that it is impossible to guarantee the security of any data disclosed via the internet. However, we have taken all reasonable steps to protect your personal information:

8.1 Your browser will go into secure mode as soon as you click to go into the ´checkout´ or to ´login´ so before you enter any personal or payment details you can check that you are shopping in a secure environment by looking for either a locked padlock icon, or an image of a key in the grey bar at the bottom of your browser screen.

8.2 Being in ´secure mode´ means that all of your details are encrypted to help keep them secure. Encryption creates billions of code combinations to protect each transaction made on our site, so your card details cannot be viewed by anyone else using the Internet. If you are using one of the more recent browser versions, our site supports 128 bit encryption, therefore keeping your details as safe as possible at all times.

8.3 We only accept orders that are placed using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). This technology prevents you from inadvertently revealing personal information using an un-secure connection.
