We sometimes receive data not collected directly from the individual, so provided by a third party provider. These third party providers are usually manufacturers of the products we sell and the individuals have contacted the manufacturer to ask for a recommendation of a company that can supply the product the manufacturer makes. This means we are being passed the data for a legitimate interest and when we receive personal data from a third party the information is stored and treated in the same secure way that we use when receiving information sent directly to us. You have the right to ask us to delete your personal data sent to us from the third party at any time.
