You have a number of rights over your personal information. How you can exercise these rights is set out in this notice.
We do send direct marketing, if we’re allowed to. And we do this to encourage you to buy our products and services by sending you offers and ideas that we feel will be of benefit to you. If you want us to stop then here’s how.
We also display online advertising relating to our products and services on our website, on other websites and online media channels.
Who are we? When we say ‘we’ or ‘us’ in this policy, we’re referring to an individual person in the name of Luigi Marcon.

Your contact details and details of the emails and other electronic communications you receive from us, including whether that communication has been opened and if you have clicked on any links within that communication.

How do we use your personal information?
There are a number of ways in which we use your personal information, depending on how you interact with us. If you do not provide your information to us, then we will be unable to interact with you in that way – for example, if you do not provide your name, address and account details when purchasing one of our products online, we will not be able to sell you that product as we would be unable to process your payment or deliver the product to you.
