How we collect and use your information
When we say ‘we’, we mean Shavers Direct, we operate this web site and are the ‘data controller’ for the information listed here, which means we are responsible for deciding how we use your information.
The information we collect
We collect information about you from different sources including:
- Directly from you.

We’ll only collect your information in line with relevant regulations and law.
Whenever you use a website, mobile application or other Internet service, some information is automatically logged. The same is true when you use our web sites. This data is automatically deleted as soon as it no longer needed. For example:
- Log data. Our web servers record information your browser automatically sends whenever you visit our web site, including your IP address, the pages you request and the actions you click on. This information is used to help us display and secure our web sites, protect against fraud and improve our service.

We’ll only use your information where we’re allowed to by law, such as carrying out an agreement we have with you, fulfilling a legal obligation, because we have a legitimate business interest or where you consent to it.

How long we store the information
We store your details for as long as you have a relationship with us. After that, we may hold it if we need it for our legitimate purposes such as handling questions or complaints, protecting against fraud, or when we are required to by regulations.
