• It is sometimes necessary for us to pass on some of your personal information and your requested delivery information to other organisations which are contracted by us to assist in providing some products and services.

The use of any personal information provided by you:

When you visit a web-page that is operated by digiDirect for one of its business partners; when you visit a co-branded web-page that is operated in conjunction with digiDirect, will be governed by the privacy policy that will be accessible from that web-page and which you may view before you provide or authorise the provision of that personal information.
