How do we use your personal information?

 

[PIAS] mailing lists: The information we collect via mailing lists enables us to tailor e-mail communications to your location and make these more relevant to you, and we will keep this information for as long as your consent is still valid. These e-mail communications will include news, offers and information about new releases, taking into account any previous purchases by you from any of the Websites.

 

[PIAS] e-commerce sites: The information we collect via these Websites enables us to fulfil your order and our contractual obligations to you. We will only use your mobile phone number to contact you with updates about delivery, in the event you placed an order using a tracked delivery service.

 

In the interest of providing a quality service, we use third party payment services providers who may be located in the United States (e.g. SagePay or PayPal, depending on the payment method you choose at the check-out stage) to handle electronic or card payments. The payment providers handle electronic or card payments without the requirement for you to disclose your payment information or billing address to us.

To ensure you receive your order, [PIAS] will provide the Fulfilment Company with your personal information together with information about the products you have ordered. [PIAS] and the Fulfilment Company will keep your full name and delivery address on-file alongside your order details for as long as your consent and the purpose for retaining that data is still valid, such purpose being to enable us to handle any questions from you about your order after shipping.

 

If you consented to receiving further e-mail communications from us at the time of making your purchase, [PIAS] may also use your personal information and order details to contact you about offers which are only open to existing customers. Information collected via [PIAS] artist websites may also be stored by that artist’s representatives for the purposes set out in this paragraph. If you have not consented to receiving further e-mail communications from us, we will only contact you with important information relating to your purchase – for example if there is a production delay relating to an item you have pre-ordered.
