We may contact you shortly after your purchase to discuss your delivery and make sure that it all goes smoothly for you. We may also offer you other services which relate to the products that you have purchased.

We like to be able to keep you up to date with news, offers and promotions, but you can opt out of receiving email and text messages from us at any time. To do this, click on the “unsubscribe” link on the bottom of any of our emails, or contact our contact centre. It may take a couple of days for all of our systems to update, so bear with us whilst we process your request. Please note, if you submit information but there is an error or delay in processing, we may use the details you've submitted to contact you to complete your order.

If you get in touch by email or live chat to ask a question about your order or our services, we'll keep a record of your emails and our responses. This helps us to resolve any problems, and to answer your query quickly and easily if you need to get in touch again. It also helps us to check our advisors have all the training they need to give you the best possible help. Your telephone calls to Garden Buildings Direct may also be recorded for training and regulatory purposes.

We share your information in very limited circumstances set out below:

• where we're obliged to do so (for example a legal request)
• when we need to work with a third party or core service provider, for example a delivery service or IT service provider. Each provider is carefully selected, and we'd only pass on the information required for them to perform that service on our behalf. They cannot use your data for any other purpose
• with our group companies who may provide us with services
• information with Novuna Personal Finance for credit applications and fraud prevention purposes
• any telephone calls between you and us in respect of extended warranty products are shared with Domestic & General for quality assurance and compliance.

We use third party payment service providers which are integrated into our website. When you pay using one of these methods i.e. Paypal, you are redirected to the providers portal. Your use of these services are subject to the terms and conditions of the payment providers.

Cookies are small text files used to transfer information. Site functionality cookies allow you to navigate the site and use our features. When you return to the site we'll be able to remember the products you've compared or added to your basket.

Cookies also enable us to show adverts relevant to you when you're browsing online, for example deals or products you've looked at.

Analytics cookies help us to learn where we're going wrong, and which elements of the site you find easier to use. We'll track the volume of people on our site, where they click, and where they exit the site.

Creating an account with Garden Buildings Direct gives you the ability to check out more quickly by allowing us to remember your delivery address and payment information, so you don't have to re-enter those details every time. You can save a number of addresses and payment options, along with your contact telephone numbers.

We do our part in protecting your account by strongly hashing your password using modern ciphers and cryptographic patterns. Our staff have no way of accessing your password.

In addition, your card details will never be sent, or stored on our platforms. Instead, your details are managed and protected by a dedicated E-commerce credit card payment management company.

It's important that you also take responsibility for protecting your account information. Make sure your password is suitably complex, don't share it with others, and try not to use the same one for lots of online accounts. Never send your password by email – we'll never ask you to do so. We won't ask you for your password information over the phone; but we can advise you on how to reset it.

It's a good idea to reset online passwords occasionally, and you can do so through the My Account area. If you think anyone has accessed your account information without your approval, contact us to let us know.
