We ask you for personal data only when it is needed to provide goods you have enquired about or asked us to provide or to respond to your requests for information.

2. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE SHARE?

2.1 There are times when we are required to share the information we learn from you with other parties. However, the information we hold on our customers is an important part of our business, and it is not our business to sell or rent this information to others. We will send personally identifiable information about our customers to other companies or people, however, in the following situations:
2.1.1 Agents: We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions in certain situations on our behalf. Examples of these functions include e-mail, providing marketing assistance and data analysis, handling credit card transactions, fulfilling orders and providing customer service. These agents have access to the personal information required in order to perform their functions but may not use it for any other purpose.
2.1.2 Subsidiaries and strategic partners: We may share customer information with subsidiaries under our control and also with our affiliated businesses but we only share customer information relating to a transaction with that business.
2.1.3 Business Transfers: We are continually trying to expand and improve our business, and we may sell or buy businesses or assets in these transactions. Customer information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these situations, and in the event that Macer Audio or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information may be one of the transferred assets.
2.1.4 Compliance with law: We will release personal information on our customers where we are required to by law. We may also exchange other information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
2.2 Please note that in relation to paragraphs a, b and d above, in specific circumstances, we may send personally identifiable data about our customers to third parties based in countries outside the European Union which may have laws that are less protective of your personal data than countries within the European Union. We will, however, ensure, as far as reasonably possible, that your rights are not compromised.

All information is received by us and retrieved using secure technology. In order to provide a safe and secure environment for your personal information, we try to use up-to-date technology with a view to protecting that information against loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration. Firewalls are used to block unauthorised traffic to the servers, and the actual servers are located in a secure location that can only be accessed by authorised personnel.
