What we do with the information we gather and the sharing of Your Information
We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:
• Internal record keeping.
• We may use the information to improve our products and services.
• Touch Ironmongery LTD may periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address that you have provided.
• Payment information is shared with our payment processor partner for the sole purpose of processing payment for any services you order.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
