Reasons we collect and store information about you
1. We collect and store the information to enable us to sell products to you and to manage the customer relationship. From time to time, we might collect together data in an anonymous way to look at customer trends so we understand how we can develop our products and services for you.
2. Information will only be held for as long as is necessary as described below.
3. Colonel Bills will therefore process your data either on the basis of fulfilling its contractual obligation to supply products to you or on the basis of its legitimate interests as part of managing the ongoing customer relationship with you.
How long will your information be kept?
1. We will hold your name and contact details and purchase history for up to seven years from our last transaction with you.
2. We will keep the information for up to seven years because we find that some customers like to hear about offers or products that might be of interest to them some years after their previous purchase. So our experience has been that customers welcome us getting back in touch with them (even if their transaction with Colonel Bills was sometime ago).
3. We may also need to keep some personal information to bring or defend legal claims or to handle enquiries from government bodies.
4. After seven years, and if we have had no contact from you, records that identify you will be destroyed.
