Storing data related to personal contact information or purchase preferences when making a purchase or placing an order in our physical store or online store.
When submitting a hire-purchase application.

We also collect non-personalized data – data that cannot be directly linked to a specific individual (gender, age, language preference, location).

We may also collect data about customer activities on our website. This data is aggregated and used to provide more useful information to customers and to understand which parts of the website, products, and services are most interesting.
