02 / The reason for each use

How and Why We Use Your Data

We connect each use to a clear purpose and a lawful basis under UK GDPR.

Complete your order

We use contact, item and delivery details to take your order, arrange dispatch, answer delivery questions and provide warranty or support help. The basis is our contract with you.

Answer and advise

We use enquiry details to respond and discuss a configuration around your games, monitor and budget. The basis is taking steps you ask for before a contract, or our legitimate interest in handling customer questions.

Send marketing only by choice

We send marketing where we have your consent or another lawful route permitted by law. You can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe option in a message or by contacting us.
