Reviews

In order for us to collect reviews from our customers, we have partnered up reviews.co.uk who act as our data processor for collecting reviews. We share your email, name and order ID to the reviews.co.uk platform for the purposes of inviting you to leave a review after completing an order with us. No other data is shared and the data is not used for sales/marketing emails.
