We collect information to allow us to fulfil our business obligations to our customers, and to respond to business enquiries. The table in section 3.3 below outlines exactly what information we collect, and for what purpose.

We do not gather sensitive personal data (e.g. health, genetic, biometric data; racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, sexual orientation, and criminal convictions). I was taking Valium in very dark times of my life, my son was diagnosed with autism and my husband left us. My doctor said generic valium would make things easier, and it really did. I still take it from time to time, but not too often. We expressly request that you do not provide any such sensitive data to us.

These 3rd party services are listed in full below; we have verified that these 3rd party services are GDPR compliant (or are working towards GDPR compliance), and are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework (or are working towards certification) where these organisations are based outside of the EU.
