Lalgate is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. This privacy policy explains how we process customer information and the procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.

1. The information we collect and how we use it

When you register to use our website we need to know your name, postal address and email address. To process an order we also need your credit card number and expiry date, plus any security details that the credit card processor may require. This process takes place in a secure environment where your details cannot be accessed by anyone except for our Personal Shoppers at Lalgate. We use safe and secure Nochex payment services to ensure you have a secure shopping experience.

We gather this information to allow us to process your orders, register your account and contact you with information regarding your account.

We may use aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop the website and our services. These statistics do not include information that can be used to identify any individual.

From time to time we may provide some information to external agencies for research and analysis purposes. No personal information regarding your account is passed to these agencies.

When you register your account you can choose to opt out of receiving marketing email communication from Lalgate. If you are receiving emails from Lalgate and would like them to stop you can either opt out in the preference section of the ‘my account’ page, unsubscribe using the link about the bottom of our emails, or send an email to newsletter@lalgate.com with ‘unsubscribe’ in the subject line.

On the ‘My Account’ page you can also choose to receive information from Lalgate by post including event invitations and brochures, and you may also choose to receive information from carefully selected third parties whose products or services we believe may be of interest to you. If you decide at any point that you no longer wish to receive either of these services you may deselect them in the preference section on the ‘My Account’ page.
