We use the information we collect in the following ways:
To fulfil any orders you place through the Site or via our catering service – this includes processing your payment information, arranging delivery or collection, providing invoices and/or order confirmations.
To communicate with you (for example about your order, delivery/collection slot changes, queries you raise, allergen or catering detail clarifications).
To screen for potential risk or fraud (for example unusual payment activity or orders of alcohol).
To provide you with information or marketing about our products and services (if you have consented to receive marketing communications) including email newsletters, offers and promotions.
To run and optimise our Site, such as generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, measuring campaign effectiveness, and improving the user experience.
To maintain sales records, comply with our legal obligations (for example under food safety, licensing or tax law) and to ensure product recall traceability (especially given perishable nature of goods).
