    • Prevent and detect fraud against either yourself or CSI

    • Allow us to better identify what you and other customers are interested in, so we can optimise our website experience and plan future product range amendments
  • Device information (phone, laptop, desktop or tablet), including current location (if you choose to share this) and data on how you use our website and applications – this is used to:
    • Improve our website and set default experiences for you (such as language, age verification or login status) by providing us with a clear understanding of how our website is used
    • Prevent and detect against fraud to either you or CSI; this is also essential in order for us to meet our legal obligations for looking after your data
  • Your responses to feedback requests, surveys, competitions and promotions – these are used to:
    • Pick winners

    • Help us improve our methods of interacting with customers

2. You don’t have to give us all of this information, but some of it is necessary so that we can perform our contract obligations with you. You may not be able to buy from the website, or receive an optimal customer experience if you withhold certain information or opt out of various communication types and methods; however, we will do our best to honour your decisions and will always strive to uphold strict policies and processes to protect your data.

3. We take steps to anonymise and aggregate personal information (so that it does not identify you) and use it for purposes including IT systems, research, data analysis, improving our website and other online properties and developing new products and services. We may share this with third parties whose products are or may become available on our website or who provide us with support in conducting business and service improvements.

Sharing your information

4. We do not and will not sell any of your personal data to any third party – including your name, address, email address or payment information.
However, we share your data with the following categories of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our services to you, as set out in this statement:

  • Suppliers of products on the website; where you buy direct or if there is any need for ongoing services such as refunds, replacements or warranty issues
  • Companies that work in support of CSI, such as payment service providers, warehouses, order packers and delivery companies
  • Professional service providers, such as marketing agencies, web development and optimisation partners, database administrators, advertising partners and website hosts, who help us run our business and need this information to help us do better things
  • Government entities, law enforcement and fraud prevention agencies, so we can help tackle fraud and comply with legislation
  • Companies approved by you, such as payment providers who may link an account to your CSI account

5. We may also provide third parties with aggregated but anonymised information and analytics about our customers; before we do so, we will make sure that it does not identify you.

Marketing messages

6. If you register an account with CSI, we think that knowing about the products and services we can offer is a fundamental benefit of your account. When you register, we will send you marketing messages unless you ask us not to, which you can do immediately or at any time.

7. If you buy from us but do not wish to have an account we will only send you marketing messages if you give your consent.

8. We may send you marketing messages by email, post, text and push notification to keep you aware of the latest news from CSI. You can choose whether or not to receive them in any of these ways by using your account settings on our website, which will help you control all your notification settings.

How to stop marketing messages

9. If you don’t want to receive marketing messages from us, in a specific way or at all, the best way to do this is via your account settings on our website, which will help you control all your notification settings.

10. You can edit your marketing messaging settings by:

  • Clicking the unsubscribe links in any emails or SMS messaging
  • Contacting the CSI team on:
    • Email: service@csigroup.info
    • Telephone: 08082392443 – Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm UK time, excluding bank and public holiday

Once you have done this we will make sure your profile is updated and you don’t receive unwanted marketing materials from us. Please note, due to our technical set up, the impacts of any changes may take up to 48 hours to take effect – in the meantime, we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

CSI advertising online

11. CSI engage in online advertising to attract new customers, to keep you aware of what we are up to and to help you find and see our products.

12. Like many other companies, we target banners and ads to you when you are on other websites, applications and search engines. This is achieved using a variety of digital marketing techniques, including ad exchanges and marketing networks using several advertising technologies like web beacons, pixels, ad tags, cookies and mobile identifiers, as well as specific services offered by some sites and social networks. We adhere to all advertiser policies and stick to strict rules and regulations set out by several advertising standards bodies, as well as alcohol and spirits marketing policies.

13. The banners and ads you will see are based on information we hold about you, or your previous use of our website; this includes information from the products you may have browsed on the website, the content you have engaged with or the advertising you may have previously responded to.

Keeping your information, data sharing and transfers

14. Retention:We shall retain information as necessary to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse or enforce our terms and conditions. We may also need to keep your details if you have asked us not to contact you with marketing, to ensure that you do not accidentally hear from us again.

15. Transfers:We need to share your data with other companies who process it to provide services for CSI. Some of our data processors may process data we provide to them outside of the EU. We will protect your privacy and rights in the contracts we hold with our processors.
