When you visit our website, you trust us with your information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.
LBSL is committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the data protection laws in the United Kingdom. This Privacy Policy, together with our Cookies Policy, explains how we use any information we collect about you and forms part of our Terms and Conditions of Website Use.

How do we use the information we collect about you?
We may use the information provided by you in a variety of ways, including:

- To provide a more personalised online experience by showing you the most relevant products and offers

We only retain your information for a limited period in order to respond to your query, provide you with the information you require or to send you updates on our products and services for as long as you indicate that you are happy for us to do so. We are required to keep some records for a longer period of time to meet our legal obligations.
Understanding Our Customers
So that we can provide a better service, we want to understand the shopping patterns of our customers, how customers select the products and services they ultimately buy, which apps and technology customers prefer to use, and how successful our advertising and promotional campaigns have been. We may use a number of different techniques to do this:
- We never see or store your payment card details.
- We monitor which customers redeem vouchers using a code that makes the offer personal to you
- We may monitor other websites you visit and the goods and services you look for using search engines in order to provide you with information about products and services from LBSL which are most relevant to you
- We may connect with social media sites so that we can better target our advertising while you are using these services and improve the relevance of what you see
We also use cookies to track online activity. You can find out more about this in our Cookies Policy. The information collected by cookies does not in itself identify a visitor to our site but if you are a customer or account holder we may be able to identify you from both sets of information combined.
Disclosing Your Data
We may use other companies to provide services to you on our behalf. These services may include but are not limited to answering your questions about products or services, sending postal mail, texts and emails and analysing data. We will only provide those companies with the information they need to deliver the service we have engaged them for and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
We may have to disclose your information by law or because a court or the police or other law enforcement agency has asked us for it. In the event that a majority of our shares are bought by another company or we transfer a substantial amount of our assets to another company, we may disclose your personal information to that purchaser.
How is your information protected
We take protection of your information seriously and have appropriate physical and technological security measures in place to keep it safe. For further details please see our Security Online section. Internally, we restrict access to personal information. Only employees who need the information in order to do their jobs have access to it. Your information will be stored in Europe and will not be transferred to any other country
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We keep our Privacy Policy under regular review and if we change our Privacy Policy we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect and how we use it. This policy was last updated in June 2017.
