At Expert Online Tools, we respect your privacy and take care with how information is collected, used and stored when you visit our website or place an order with us.
This policy explains what information we may collect, why we need it, how it may be used, and how cookies and similar technologies may operate on our website.

2. Information We May Collect
The information we collect depends on how you use our website.
When you place an order
We may need information such as:
Your name
Billing and delivery address
Email address
Telephone number
Order details
Delivery information
Payment-related information required to process your purchase
Payment card details are handled through the relevant payment service rather than being unnecessarily retained by us.

If you contact our customer service team, we may keep the information you provide so that we can respond to your enquiry and maintain a record of the communication.
When you use our website
Technical information may also be collected automatically, such as:
IP address
Browser and device type
Operating system
Pages visited
Approximate usage information
Date and time of visits
Website interaction data
This information helps us understand how the website is being used and identify technical problems.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use personal information only where there is a genuine reason to do so.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
Processing and fulfilling orders
Arranging delivery or Click & Collect
Providing customer support
Responding to enquiries
Processing refunds and returns
Maintaining appropriate business and transaction records
Improving website performance and functionality
Protecting the website against misuse, fraud or security issues
Meeting legal and regulatory obligations
We do not needlessly collect information simply because it is available.
4. Payment Information
Payments made through Expert Online Tools may be processed by third-party payment providers.
We may receive information confirming that a payment has been made, together with relevant transaction details, but payment providers generally handle sensitive card information through their own secure systems.
We do not ask customers to send complete card details to us by email or through customer support.
5. Delivery and Service Providers
To complete your order, certain information may need to be shared with companies providing services on our behalf.
For example, this can include:
Courier and delivery companies
Payment service providers
Website and hosting providers
IT and technical service providers
Professional advisers where necessary
Only information relevant to the service being provided should be shared.
For example, a delivery provider may need your name, delivery address and contact information in order to deliver your purchase.
6. How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to help protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
However, no website or method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You should also take reasonable precautions when using the internet, including keeping your own devices and account information secure.
7. How Long Information Is Kept
We do not keep personal information indefinitely without a reason.
Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including where we need to:
Complete an order or provide customer service
Maintain business and accounting records
Deal with returns, refunds or disputes
Meet legal, tax or regulatory requirements
Protect our legitimate business interests
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
8. Your Privacy Rights
UK data protection law gives individuals a number of rights concerning their personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
Ask for access to personal information we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Ask for information to be deleted where applicable
Request restriction of certain processing
Object to particular uses of your information
Request your information in a portable format where applicable
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
Some rights are subject to legal conditions and exceptions.
