If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
We also collect information when you voluntarily complete customer surveys, provide feedback and participate in promotions or competitions.
We, or our third party business partners, may collect website and mobile app usage information such as: browser information; IP address; the site you come to our website from or go to after leaving our website; browsing activity (e.g. the time and duration of your browsing, the selections you make and pages you access); the type of device you use to access our website or mobile app; unique device identifying numbers; and the operating system your device uses.

Other than this we do not collect device location data, although your IP address may provide us with an approximate location usually no more precise than the city your device is in.

The information we collect about you from others:
When you place an order through one of our retail partners, that partner may share your personal data with us in order to perform the service. This data may be combined with data we collect from you directly.

The data we receive is dependent upon your privacy settings with the social network.
When we deliver an item to you, the person sending the item may provide us with your name, address, phone number and other information that is relevant to providing the service.
If you are unable to pay charges for the services or fraudulent or other criminal activity is suspected relating to your account or the delivery of an item to or from you, we may be provided with information by credit reference agencies and organisations that prevent and detect fraud or other crimes.
