You don’t have to give us all 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 communications types and methods. However, we will do our best to honour your decisions and will always work to uphold strict policies and processes to protect your data.

We also take steps to anonymise and aggregate personal information (so that it does not identify you) and use it for the 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.

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 there is any need for ongoing services such as refunds, replacements or warranty issues
  • Companies that work in support of Rugbystore, such as payment service providers, warehouses, order packers, and delivery companies
  • Companies that provide product and service review aggregation, such as Feefo, so we can gather feedback on your shopping experience with rugbystore

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

Marketing messages

If you register an account with Rugbystore, we think knowing about the products 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.

If you shop with us but do not wish to have an account, for example if you give us your details when you order a gift, as you will have purchased from us we presume you will be interested in being kept up to date with our offers and that we therefore have a legitimate interest to contact you. You will however be able to opt out of this at any time.

We may send you marketing messages by email, post, text and push notification to keep you aware of the latest news from Rugbystore. You can choose whether or not to receive them in any of these ways by logging in and accessing the My Account settings on our website or by getting in touch with us.

How to stop marketing messages

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 the My Account Settings on our website, which will help you control all your notification settings.

You can edit your marketing messaging settings by:

  • Visiting the My Account Settings
  • Click the unsubscribe links in any emails or SMS messaging
  • Contacting the Rugbystore team on:
    • Email: sales@rugbystore.co.uk
    • Telephone: 01721 726920 – Monday to Friday 08:30 am to 5:00 pm UK time excluding bank and public holidays

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.
