- We use Paypal for processing payments, where the only information sent to Paypal are the basket contents themselves and the necessary information of the merchant to whom the items belong, to allow the processing of your purchase. None of your details are sent to Paypal, and Paypal disregards any sent information (the aforementioned basket contents and merchant details) as soon as your payment has been processed.
- To enable the handling of orders, user contact details (name, address, telephone number) are sent to the corresponding merchant. This is because of our unique system where each merchant individually deals with their own orders.
