We will keep a record of the products you have ordered from us, including, where applicable any manufacturer’s serial numbers. This information will be held to help us communicate with you in the event of any warranty issues or a manufacturer’s recall. We may use it when asked to give you advice regarding future purchases, such as replacing something lost or repeating a previous order.
