We store your registration and ordering detail so that you don't have to re-enter your details every time you shop with us.

This is usually only done to verify the accuracy of the information we have, and to personalise and improve our services. Generally, the personal information we collect is supplied by you.

We may need to pass personal details such as your name, business name and address to service providers who perform some of our deliveries. This may include major delivery companies and third party fulfilment contractors.

Only specially cleared team members in our Customer Service Centre and in Marketing, Stores, Finance and IT have access to our customers' personal information. Their access is subject to strict controls and procedures.

Our e-commerce site uses a security measure called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL locks all your critical information in an encrypted envelope, making it extremely difficult for this information to be intercepted. Our SSL technology is the industry standard in Internet security.

For credit card transactions, Vitu Zote and/or our payment partner adds security by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

We've found that attractive, graphics-rich emails are a quick, effective and low-cost way to communicate with customers and prospects about new products, clearance and auction items. We maintain an opt-out, user-customisable subscription service of email addresses of people requesting promotional emails.

We do not want to send emails to you if you would prefer not to receive them. Therefore, every email provides a way for you to unsubscribe from future emails.
